Default Has anyone painted the headlight bezels on a TA?
I was looking at my car at dusk the other day and I was trying to picture how it would look if I painted the black headlight bezels to match the body color. Has anyone done this?

you mean the area that surrounds the ehadlights when theyre popped up? youd only be able to see it once its dark out, seems like a stupid idea

that looks terrible. But on an lt1 they look great. I can beleive how bad that looks. I agree it is a nice area to detail but im not for body matching them anymore.maybe wrap them in carbon fiber?
