Vent BLACKOUTS & Black Paint
I have been adding black paint to my Machine Silver 04 Coupe for a while:
- Black Top and Black Window Tint
- Black Front Vents
- A Black Butt with Silver Vinyl Lettering
- Blacked Out Back Up Lights
- Blacked Out DRLs and Parking Lights
I have been concerned about blacking out the DRLs for some time because I want to be seen easily by oncoming traffic on the country roads that I drive regularly. I know that a lot of you disconnect the DRLs but to me it is a real safety concern.
So - I finally cut away the portion of the plastic that covers the DRLs and reinstalled them. I think that they look great with the DRLs on and not too bad with them off.
Here are the photos:
I have another thread going for your opinions on painting the BSMs.

I think that the C-5s look better without the BSMs but mine is a daily driver and I need the protection from the idiots and fools who park next to me. Early returns indicate that most of you believe that I should leave them alone and not paint them which is the way I am leaning.
