    for me: nay

    but if you like it, go for it.

    You could always wrap 'em in black vinyl so you can take it off if you end up not liking it

    Looks different... in a good way. First of all, very "euro", aaaaand not many ppl got them since everyone likes to keep it on color or shaved. I'd say go for it!

    I thought it might look neat so I photoshopped it. I don't think like it enough to do it. I want to do something to make the silver less boring though...

    I think it looks good, especially on reflex silver. I plasti dipped the rubstrips on my golf so I can take it off if I ever want to. I think it looks even better with a black grille and I am sure if would look even better with joey modded headlights
