Looks great! Paint the headlight housing black and the projector red, that would look really good and smoke the taillights

Spray gun, bro. I used to paint cars for a living, so I have had a little practice.

I manage a collision shop, so we mix/make all of our paint colors in house. All I need is a paint code and I can match any color I like.
