I like that it makes the air brakes blend into the body more. I always thought they stood out too much on the white.

Looks unpainted to me.well that ceta one anyway looks like the lights were bought from a junk yard, the white don't look bad, but I think gloss black would look way better

OP, I noticed your bezels are really tight on the lid covers. Did you adjust them or anything. Looking at mine thinking about doing this mod, I saw mine look sloppy as hell lol.

Edit: now that I look at the "inverted ceta" pic closer, how the passenger side bezel hangs a bit on the tip...mine is doing that.

F'n annoying!

Looks meaner black, it blends in better. Body colored shows all the gaps and adjuster screw holes. Doesn't look very clean.

^Agreed
But to each their own, if you love what you did keep it.

I agree, the main purpose to aesthetic mods is to make the car unique and your own. Some will love it, others not so much. I see cars all the time and think ugh, but as long as they are happy with, unless it is Honda, then just plain ugh!
