I like the subtlety, it actually in an odd way makes the clear lights (are those side markers off ebay, btw?) stand out nicely... not that they stand out, but it emphasizes how nicely they blend with the silver color of your car. You used that same kit? I was thinking of doing mine red, but after seeing the silver, I like the understated subtlety much better. It's rather elegant...
