Question opinions on blacked out tail lights on black GSR...

Hey everyone-

i was sitting at work today, doing basically nothing, and i started to think about what needs and could be done to my teg. I was thinking about blacking out my tail lights AND possibley the corner lights (if possible) on my 2000 black GSR. however, i am looking to get a little feed back on what people think about this. Good or bad?

Also, i am looking to buy some gunmetal rims, and i was thinking it might be cool if i painted my hood gunmetal aswell to tie the rims into the car. what are your feelings on that?

thanks for the input.

-Genny

smoked tails + corners + rims =

hood = :thumbdow:

instead of painting your hood, you should get a cf hood

if you have any pics of your car i might be able to photoshop everything for ya

hey if you were lookin for blacked out lights.. i have some on my car.. in my opinion i dont like them as much because it does not give off enough light at night to back up.. but came with the car when i bought it...

Gun Metal Rims look nice.. gonna go for rotas for me though






In my opinion i like the hood in the same color as rest of body.. just looks cleaner to me...
