Yes, definitely nice work on the headlights. I got lucky, the stock color looks pretty good on a silver car.

instead of black, because i knew it'd stand out against my car (silver), i just did a light coat of tint (black/clear mix) over the border to make it slightly darker than it was to not show off the gray anymore. i think they turned out really well that way.

Yes. Silver cars look great with the factory color. Black cars look horrible IMO with that gray. Especially when the sun hits hard. The factory grille looks better on silver cars too. I am thinking about painting the mesh area black in mine. Still undecided.

all i've got left is to upgrade the fog lights and change all the bulbs around the car to LED and the outside is pretty well done as far as lighting goes.

suspension, 5 lug swap, and wheels in the spring, too...

Great job! I used Nightshades on the borders. It still has some depth under the sun light.

I definitely am going yellow with my calipers, I want to "pop" with the black exterior.

Default New V
Just got done road tripping home from Seattle to Denver in our new 12,000 mile 2004 V. The darn thing still looks new

Sorry for all the pictures, but I'm smitten!

Highway 287 North of Yellowstone was amazing to rip through, Grand Teton is beautiful. Mostly it was flat nothingness with no traffic. If you felt like staying at silly speeds for long periods of time, Western Montana and Northern Wyoming would be where to do it!

Nice find. Are you located in the Denver Metro area?

Looks sharp! Missing the front air deflector on the underside of the car?
