Thumbs up The SpecB Got A Facelift

Made a few changes to the SpecB in the last few days. Finally put in my '05 cleared headlights that have been sitting in my house for a year now ('05 was the only year the headlights came with the black housing). Then, I put in my 6,000K HIDs. Once I got rid of the chrome headlights I realized that the blingy grill had to go.......so I painted it black. I'm thinking about painting the fog light surrounds black too......but I don't know yet.

First the before pic...
























And here is a few pics of the fog light surrounds photoshopped.......any comments? Yay or nay? I'm still contemplating.

Yeah, I like the painted surrounds, that looks really nice and matches the lower center grill opening pretty well. It would be a little better if the surrounds were recessed more at the inside edges to match the outside edges, but that's a a great result for just a coat of paint.

The grille looks great too, but I'm totally biased because I hate chrome. I would have gotten rid of the entire horizontal rib on the grill, but that's a heavier mod than just painting.
