SWP headlight housings blacked out, please post pics if did it!

Trying to decide if this is a project to do this winter while my car is parked. Can't locate any good pics of the headlight housings being black on a SWP fr-s or BRZ.

If anyone has done this please post pics I'd love to see what it looks like!

Please no. You are gonna ruin the look. Wait for SEMA, there will be more aftermarket headlights announced soon.

I'm planning on doing this soon. I don't think it will ruin the look. And most aftermarket ones with halos and other crazy lights will ruin the look. But everybody is into their own thing who am I to judge if the other guy wants under glows cause they were featured at sema.

Two examples in the first post. Prob more in the following pages as people usually post results.

Im doing it to my car as have countless others to not only this car but many cars. Its a nice, cheap mod that really changes the looks for sure.

Damn....I must have ruined my car I get nothing but compliments on mine. It actually saved me the money I was about to blow on BRZ lights. Total cost was 5 hours or so, and $6 for paint.
