What do you guy think of this idea?
I was browsing thru ebay and I saw the updated 03 + tail lights in smoked gray here is a pic. My Idea is in a few weeks is to send my 3 piece wheels (only the faces) the a local powder coater that i know for $180 for the set of 4 he can powder coat the faces to the exact or close to color of the S65 wheels see pic below. Whats your guys thoughts I am leaning towards the smoked lights because my car is silver and well.... there are no red parts on the car other than the tail lights. I think it would give it a sleek look plus the s65 color wheels will set it off with the same center caps which the chrome accent on them will match the chrome lips on the wheels. Thinking out load here any other suggestions will be taken into consideration. the quick face lift will cost about $320. The next mod after that will be the AMG body kit (aftermarket) sitting in the basement.......maybe someone here can photoshop it to see what it would look like?

The wheels would look cool, on the lights I dont know I would have to see a photochop to see how the clear lights would work. If you can pull it off then
awesome! if I doenst pull off then it could be a little hondiash.

DO NOT GET THOSE CLEAR LIGHTS.
your cars status will turn from class to straight up rice.
I would get the updated 03+ taillights and have the red parts smoked out to a gloss black and leave the middles white.
i have an expert guy here in NY that can do your lights anyway for very cheap. He even has them stocked up on his website... ill post the link later.
and id leave the rims black. Then your car will look perfect.
to get an idea of how your body kit would look like just go on ebay find a 01-02 s55 which will have the amg body kit and just use "Paint" to cut and paste your wheels on.
