thanks for all the input =]

 

Looks good, keep the Mt. Fuji chrome.

 

yup leave the emblem chrome!

 

Looks good. I've got a silver sedan as well and I was thinking of doing something similar now that I might have a gunmetal theme to my car. I was also debating, if I don't get a kit, painting my lowers a gunmetal just to be different.

 

^ don't do that

 

Looks nice, did you paint the headlights and mask off certain areas???

 

thanks
My friend used to work @ a body shop so he helped paint my headlights & grill. The headlights were painted back in Dec '09 & my grill just barely got painted. I believe he just painted the housing part w/ gloss black.

 

Cool, I like how he did it. Doesn't look overkilled with black from what I can see in the pics it looks like he masked off certain areas to leave more of the chrome/polish appearance. At least that what it looks like to me in the pics. I like it! Nice car.

 

You happen to have any larger up close pics of the headlights???
