Painting Headlight Housing
So lately I've been thinking I like the look of body color trim on the inside of the headlights. What's you opinion of that? Should I do it?
Normal/stock headlight trim (Ignore the trashy ricer blue bulb - thats long gone):
With body color trim around headlights:
Mine would look like this with the exception of the grill:
Im not really a fan of the white, but I think it looks better on a black car.
Your thoughts??

I wouldn't necessarily paint match the body, but painting dark gray like the I30T headlights would look nice on black!

no actually its an i30 lol. I already have an hid kit(9006) but I havent' bought new bulbs yet.Most likely I will be getting 8k agian. Haven't done too much since I'm still in school.
I cant make a new post since I'm new but my car is acting weird. It feels like something is clogged up. when i step on the gas it dosen't accelerate like how my friends 01 max do.No check engine light... sensor maybe? i will be throwing it on the computer hopefully by this weekend.
just incase if anyone wanted to know..

The trunk looks nice shaved. But the projectors have a googly eyed look.

I agree, don't necessarily need body matching paint. A lot of shades of grey would work nice with you i30
