i really want some sort of black rim but its not in the budget ... and i wanted the blacked out ccfl imitation HID headlights but decided to get an HID kit and do this to the outside of the headlights ...


sorry no pictures of them back on the car as the weather has been horrible lately and i havent washed her in a few weeks ... shame i know ...

but you can see the taillights lookin good in this picture, and the rear badge gone ... then in the following the front bowtie blacked out ...




i really want to murder her out completely and painting the chrome grill strip and removing the gm badges are the next step ... my only two things are, i hate tints so ill never go limo dark on it, and the stock rims have grown on me so im going to leave them, monetary concerns having absolutely nothing to do with it at all ...

So I just got my SS and GM overlays. With my 18" polished SS rims, should I put those on? Or should I wait until I get black rims? How would it look with a black car, black badges, and polished rims? And if I do, should I put the black decal covering the gold bowtie on the rims? At this point, I'm thinking I should wait...

Also, I'm painting the headlights this weekend. Just to make sure, I'm cooking them at 350 for 5ish minutes. Will the plastic be hot? Or just the seal? Rather, how do I pull the thing apart? Then, how many coats of paint should I do? And what kind of paint should I use?

Then... how much does it normally cost to have tires taken off one set of rims and thrown on another? Is it possible to put 7" wide tires on an 8" wide rim? Or is that asking for trouble?

Also getting the windows tinted next weekend (unless yet another issue comes up with my car that sets me back a few dollars...seems like that keeps happening...). Is 200ish a good price?

Sorry for so many questions again..........

EDIT - by the way, i cant take credit for the design of the eyebrow as it was a molded in line in the plastic, meant to follow the lines of the hood im sure in case chevy was going to do something with the headlights themselves or what ... go look on any monte or impala of those years
