Not the same color but same wheels, and his headlights are flat black I think. EDIT: I didn't realize that you are going to paint your wheels black. Why are silver wheels called hyper black

so the final result was flat black. headlights are painted, ill throw the lenses back on hopefully this weekend and get them on the car. i dropped my car off today to my buddy to get tinted(PM if youre in the Tri-state area and need tint) and i explained to him what i was doing with the headlights and he suggested that i let him try and wrap the grill with a matte vynal before i spray it. i searched with no luck....has anyone done a vynal wrapped grill yet? sounds like it may hold up to stone chips a bit better than a rattle can job.

considered spraying the projector shroud for sake of being easier and not having to mask it off and prep around it but i thought i needed some chrome to follow with the fog lights reflector.
