Default Painted my Headlight Bezels (pics)

I finally got around to painting my headlight bezels. Well actually my brother painted them. He has access to a paint booth at his job. They are painted and cleared. I think it looks better. And yes I know its usually dark out when the lights are on, however they can be seen at dusk, and when I drive in the rain (yes i drive my Corvette in the rain occasionally).

Great mod man! Who cares if you can't see it all the time. Just pop them up when you go to a car show and I'm sure you'll impress lots of people! Your brother does top quality work too.

Regardless if anyone else notices it, you notice it and know it's there. And if makes you feel good inside, then that's all that counts and is absolutely worth it. It looks good. This mod is on my list with about 5 others to do before I get to it.
