Blacking out

I am in the middle of installing CCFLs, blacking out, and removing the orange part of my head lights. I thought I would post of up pictures of before and after on my car so people can compare.I painted by bumber black too.
PS
I suck at taking pictures at night.

They took me about 12 hours. It is actually only maybe 4 hours of work. The other 8 are waiting for paint to dry or my stupid cordless dremel to charge.
I am goin to do my tails next and convert them to LEDs.

Yes I put the super brite CCFLs from SVC.com. In both the night shots I put in one stock headlight and one black to see the difference. (the black one with ccfl is on the driver side)
I used a black mica on the headlights to give it a neat effect up close. For the grill I used black obsidian paint from paintscratch.com with two layers of clear.
