Now heres the Question!

I had 2 ideas for the T/A for paint.

I thought how cool would it be to paint the headlight covers black?! I think that would look really enat but wanted yalls opinion first

Secondly, for the T/A decals. instead of plain boring red like the car paint "trans" black and the "am" silver?
yes/no/maybe so?

Painting the just the headlight covers black would make it looks like you took them off a black car and never painted them in my opinion
