Honestly, It's a fine line between "Murdering Out" and going too far.
I'm not so sure on blacking out the chrome in the headlights.

Cosmetically, I'm done.
Now to focus on performance and small tid-bit upgrades!

it'll look good. or atleast paint it with the black chrome finish to maintain a shiny ness. it will never be fully black because well... the LED strip and projector are shiny. i used hte black chrome finish on my blinker reflector.

i think it will look great. here are mine.

Not bad! Look's clean.

As for cracking open headlights, I'm much too hesitant to start modifying the headlights yet. But it's a strong maybe since It seem's like a easy mod.

It feel's great, I'm not sure how much the handling was affected due to the short time I had the stock set up on.

I'll be removing all the interior pieces tmrw to get carbon fiber vinyl wrapped.
Stay tuned for pics of the progress!

Looks very, very nice! I do like black on black. I think you're right about the headlight blackout - you can have too much black. Your current balance seems perfect to me.

Any difficulty getting those pieces out? Did you have to remove the airbag to get to the steering wheel trim piece or were the screws on the backside?
