Hey John - That's so funny. I thought I was the only one that had mine painted on a 2008. That was one of the first things I did when I got the car. I had those ugly reflectors painted the same color as the car. It looks sooo much better. Why they put those reflectors there, beats the hell out of me.

Anyway, your car looks AWESOME!!!!! However, you do need to do one thing...TINT YOUR TAILS!

US laws.

Better than having the orange reflectors in the headlights like the pre-LCI's. It is now an easy fix.

C get your car done already and post some pics.

The car looks great! I've always been a fan of blacked out vehicles. +1 to tinting the tails and the reflectors.

Is it just me or does anyone else HATE the term murdered out?

Thanks.

Reflector's are painted to match (you can see this in the first couple of updated pics I posted). The last couple of pics are old prior to getting them painted. I am stalling on doing the taillights as I want to try to stay as legal as possible or with as few reasons to get pulled over as possible. When I find the time, I will be blacking out all of the chrome with gloss black (including the tailpipes, I think). The front grill will be gloss black lip and flat black fins.

Roundels will be black and white and the only colors I want to leave are the M-stripes ///

Lastly I am looking for an inconspicous spot to place the Knight Rider Light (thinking the front lower grill opening). Tucked up in the top of the opening. I want it to be hidden when not on. I found the guy on the internet who made the actual one for the new TV series (they almost gave up on him and just CG'd it in). He is supposed to be making them available to the public.

Yeah, the term murdered out is kind of gay or at least over-used lately (but a red Knight Rider light is not!!!). I never heard the term until people started calling my car murdered out, HaHa!

I was getting a kick out of how people were posting to this thread and I had already changed the wheels.

Props to Darwin and all the guys at Sonic for a job well done and great customer service as always!!!

Thanks again everyone for your nice comments and the advice on the orange reflectors, etc...
