I'm planning on blacking out my rear tail lights, reverse lights, as well as blacking out the rest of the front of my V.
Post up pics of how you have your fronts\rears blacked. Did you keep the chrome outline on the grill? Did you black it all out? Did you black half the fog light? The whole thing?
I'm interested in seeing pictures so I can decide what I should and shouldn't do.
Right now, I have blacked wheels, half blacked fogs (signals), mesh in grill blacked with chrome outline, blacked side markers, but nothing done at the rear. I also haven't had the chance on blacking out the bottom grill, but I'm thinking whether I should black the entire thing, or try to leave some of the silver trim on the sides.
All black in the front, painted the headlight surround, inside of the headlight housing (from gray to black, and got rid of all the chrome). Blacked out emblems, grille, and mesh.

Obviously, I don't have a V. But I liked the black mesh version, that's what I've done on mine. I am actually in the process of building new headlights similar to yours!
are you guys just taping off the headlights and painting the trim around the headlights? What paint are you using for painting them from the grey to black on the headlights?
Just a standard Duplicolor rattle can with a clear, if you're painting older lights you may want to hit is with a light coat of filler primer to fill in any scratches or pits.
My car is going to the shop this weekend. Smoke lights, powder coat rims and grille matte black, take off the cts and matte black the V's maybe paint calipers. Ill post pics hopefully next weekend

I blacked my grills and my wheels last night. I did both with plasti dip and although I haven't had them out in the daylight yet I am very happy with the turnout.
Thanks for all the pics guys. Some clean lookin cars in here.
I just finished dipping my wheels, grill, bottom grill, and full grill surround in black. Car is dirty as hell so no pics today. Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday, latest.
