Something new or not very common.... Pics inside

Well, i decided to paint the back portion of my headlights and my windshield washer fluid contained. They are now gloss black to tie into the car. No more white.

Enjoy.

Mine is also painted.
I used piece of tape to mask a line off on the front of the reservoir so you can see the fluid level.

Looks good.

I had MAJOR fitment issues with my VFN hood.
The stops were removed so I could use weights to slowly pursued the hood to fit correctly.
While the stops were out my father rearranged the garage and in doing that misplaced one of my stops.
For a while I ran 3 of them but it annoyed me everytime I opened my hood.
I'll put them back in once I get a fourth.

BTW, you'll see a few rust spots or spots where paint is MIA.
That's because the owner before me had a leaky battery and chose to ignore it.
