Now that just looks awesome! That's the look I wanted. I got a set from Chip and apparently there were SS in error. He is sending me a set of black chrome.

As Chip has mentioned, BC is difficult to photograph. In some shots it looks very shiny and reflective, in others it looks dark and flat. It's very cool stuff.

where did you get the inserts and where did you get the headlights?

They really do reflect differently depending on the light. Looks good!
