Painted Depo's?

Anyone with Depo headlights that have been painted please post some pictures! I am on the fence whether or not to paint my depo's to match the car or leave them black.

Keep them black, your front end looks sharp. I wish the C6's were all black, body color looks like crap! .02!

I was thinking of just painting the top covers on them yellow and leaving out some for the light to shine through the front like that red one I see on here.

If you are going to paint them I would still use a gloss black for the lens cover. The contrast makes your car.

I would go the complete opposite. Black on the inside sort of like a shroud look and body color on the top or outside. Can anyone photoshop this car in reverse like I described. Otherwise they stick out to much imo, looks like they were installed and not painted. I do think this car looks sick though!!, and I mean that in a good way.

Agreed. My car looks like it is ready to jump on a lilly pad. I do like the lower opening pop ups. I wish they were more affordable though.

if they where under 800 then I think they would sell alot more. Great option just way to pricey for most.

I think I could make my own custom lower opening ones but I can't have the down time to do it. A shroud would be the hardest thing to make and look good.
