I had this on my GPW. Given the opportunity, I wouldn't do it again.

 

some more for ya...

 

IMO, you should not paint over the chrome rings on the inserts. Mask them off properly when you paint. I also recommend resealing the lenses with flowable silicone to prevent leaks.

i think they look horrible. you want some contrast in the headlights and tailights and the black housing is perfect for it.

everyone has their own opinion, i think it looks good myself, change of pace, however, i dont think i could do that to mine, i like the black, but everyone has different taste looks good though

 

heres a few pics of mine w/ jdm smoked turn signals, also with the grill line painted to match. (Note: yes my car is fricken filthy I gave her a bath yesterday but didnt feel like snapping new pics)

Johnny--2K thats exactly what i wanted to see!

Thanks guys for the pics! Personally i've only done this on a silver car, so i agree with spaceman and munckee that it would probably look cheap on white,red,yellow. But you gotta admit that johnny's silver looks kinda hot.

Oh yeah, and I'm definitely gonna keep the chrome.

oh yeah, here's my before after of my '03 Tiburon (i loved that car!) but i love my s2k more! :-D
