Question Opinions Please . . .

On a pics thread on my favorite porsche site I saw a simple little mod that I think looks rather good.

I like the black and red contrasts on my car but its a little dull around the headlights.



What do you guys think of the eye liner effect of painting the headlight trim rings black?







One of mine has a rock chip down to the metal so doing such a thing would have a practical purpose too.

Looks good. Might look into brigtening up the black trim on it too...that 1st Porsche under yours has very black trim, looks nice.

I heard something called Back To Black (I sorely need it too) works well for restoring trim.

Unlike the detailed car pics I pulled off the other sites, my car pic cleary displays a car that hadn't been washed for weeks.

Any good rubber treatment works wonders on the black trim on my car.

Don't know why, but it would add ten years to the look of your car. The only way to make it look even older would be to have the real old-school chrome headlight rings, like in the 70's.
