    Talking I painted my hood white to match my car

    yep, few cans of spraypaint. And it looks waaaaaaay better now. No more blue hood lol. I replaced the one remaining LED washer with 2 stock ones that I got from the junk yard the other day. I painted the grill and the headlight "eyelids" black, and I wanna tint the corner lights too. I think it looks waaay better.

    Much MUCH better!

    I remember how much of a difference it made when I painted my light beige hood (which I drove around with for months, lol) to black to match the rest of my car. Huge difference!

    Nice job. However, the color of the hood doesn't seem to match the color of the body in the last two pictures.

    that looks a lot better. but i like it when the trim on the headlights matches the blinkers. it still looks good.
