Check my FD project pictures 'hood&lights'

I want to put a vented hoot and get painted my pop-up lights in black.
I think it's a great match with my turnlight smoke signal.
I did a little photoshop.
Can I have some comment?! Thanks!!

That's my actual rx7 :



With pop-up painted in black :



With black pop-up and vented hood :



Vented hood without black pop-up :

I think the Ks hood without the black pop ups looks the best!

I think you'd be smoking crack if you painted your headlight covers black without painting the entire rest of your car black....

It's your car and you should do what you wish; but I wouldn't paint it black.

Well, we're all thinking it's retarded that you want to paint your headlight covers black

Get some cf sleek lights if you want the lights to look dark. The hood is cool.

It'll look like so many other cars on the road with different color body panels, BAD. Looks like you can't afford a repaint.

I just read someone preaching how YELLOW strut bars would look great on every color FD... and now this?? WTF is wrong with you people?? Don't like the painted wheels that don't match the car either, and some people are just spray painting them at that!?

This is the exact crap that got us lumped in the same group as Honda tuners.
