Question On a white car?

Has anyone done this to a white camaro yet? I would like to see pictures if anybody has done it yet. I'm guessing it would look like the black halos on a white camaro. Thanks ahead of time.

I did this to my white Z. Unfortunately I don't have any good pics yet, but with tinted windows I think it looks awesome. Now I just need to find some black wheels.

it took me about 2 hours. but i was in no hurry, i had all saturday. plus i had to bake mine for about twice as long as the instructions said, i couldnt get them seperated until i let them stay in the oven for a while. but then they came right off, painting didnt take very long at all. re-installing the headlights was the biggest PITA of the whole thing

but def worth the little bit of time and couple bucks

I've been wanting to do this mod for a while. I have a pewter camaro and wanted to paint them pewter but I can't find the pewter paint anywhere. It doesn't help that I live in the middle of nowhere. So if anybody knows where I can find the pewter metallic let me know. Thanks

Hey, thanks for the compliments, I love the new look! I changed a couple of the pictures, took a couple more today in slightly better lit conditions. It took me about 4 hours cuz i took my time, gave each light 2 coats of paint and let each coat dry for 15 minutes and each light dry for an hour before i put them back in the car. This is by far the best $10 i've spent on a car modification! Would recommend it to anyone, looks great even on light colored cars from pictures i've seen.

Has anyone done this with the same color as their car? Like a red Camaro with red painted headlights, blue on blue, etc??? Might look kinda cool, like the C6 Vette and how their's matches the body color.

I did them in dark charcoal on my red car, but I wonder how orange would look on my orange car
