I agree, paint the original black and maybe a CF lip (150 shipped from Gary) and you are good to go

That looks good. I agree about the grill - I think you should do something like Karo's!

Thanks guys, I did open up the headlights.

Its so easy to do:
1) Pull headlights out of car
2) Remove all bulbs from headlights and 4 black metal clips around headlights
3) Preheat oven to 225*F
4) Place one headlight at a time in oven for 15mins then pull out of oven
5) Grab a big flat head screwdriver and pry headlights apart
6) After clear lens is off use a star bit to remove 2 screws holding chrome bezel in headlight
7) Remove chrome bezel from headlight, scuff, prime, and paint with semi gloss black paint
8) Reverse process putting bezel back in headlight, don't put clear lens on yet
9) Place headlight back into oven at 200*F for 5 mins to reheat glue
10) Remove headlight from oven and place a bead of clear silicone sealant in outer channel
11) Carefully take clear lens and put back onto headlight
12) Push together and place 4 black metal retaining clips back on to hold headlight together
13) Replace bulbs and reinstall!!
