I know your vehicle is supposed to represent the type of person you are, but i like to get a feeler for how other GM goers feel to make sure im not crazy lol.im trying to see if anyone here has ever baked their headlights to black them out and how it looked. also paint the inside bubble of their projects low beam to show a nice background color of choice. before photo(with chrome wheels and stock height) to recent ( black wheels and a 2/3 drop) all led conversion, LED daytime running lights, switchback LED turn signal lights, HID 6K, all LED interior, McGaughy's 2/3 drop, DUB ballers s116 22" rims, blacked out grill trim, yellow brake calipers. any other suggestions?roof rack delete? chrome tint?

Looking really good....

I'd just paint the rest of the grille black and then change the front emblem to a brushed aluminum one to match the wheels. I'd also lose the rack cross bars and keep the existing rack....

Depo makes a black version of the Denali light. Look it up so you can see pics

I like the new look. I also like the look of the headlights without the orange sidemarkers.

Do you have a write-up? Everything I've read made it sound like you had to cut into the Denali lights to open them, And they were un-bakeable.

I'm worried about taking the rack off because I'm In the fire department and I have a magnetic plate set up on the rack so I Don't scratch the roof. But I really like those baked headlights! Looks better than. I thought, if I do darken them myself what do I do about the orange reflectors?
