Looks good...but I can't decide if I like the black or the chrome better :o
...since the chrome was peeling, I would've definitely done the same thing though
Maybe the black L style projectors (like exbgsxr's...or something like that ) would look good with the black theme you got goin.

once its not my DD (prob after college) im gonna try to get into the show scene with it.
so mods are probably gonna go
-bags & maybe stock floor body drop
-paint
-built navi motor swap or built procharged 4.6 swap

the only thing i dont like about these wheels is that 98% of people think its a lightning and it annoys the crap out of me lol

the chrome looked good...from like 15 feet away lol
but honestly keeping chrome clean sucks, i will never buy a chrome wheel for that reason.
i wouldnt mind some new headlights...hmm idk

Yeah I know what you mean about chrome. The 18s I had on my '02 were chrome and it sucked trying to get those detailed just right.
And the black is definitely growing on me in a hurry

I like your headlights you have now, I was just suggesting those if you were to change. I was responding to an earlier post by expedition4x4. But those black heads would look sweet and should be brighter since they're not smoked

I might buy a roll of painters tape, cover my wheels and shoot a quick layer of black on them as see how they look on my truck
