Default Fog Bezel Paint

what's up bros?
I know I am not an active member but I do own a FBP EM1 and I have something to share with you guys. My baby has been wired for the fog lights recently and I have painted the bezel myself. I got the lamp kit from Depo back in Taiwan. The bezel has been painted with the Dupli spray can. The color is duplicating Honda original color (NH91M). I also have tinted the lens with lamin-x flims. It matched my car pretty well and I love it!
Cut the crap, pic talks...


Original bezel factory paint/paint removed

After painting with Dupli-color (Graphite Grey Met - NH91M)



I am using PIAA H3 and here is the appearance at night.

How do you guys think about it?

Haha, they don't sell it out there, right? I love your headlight housing with the yellow deflector at side! Does it 100% perfect fit like the OEM Stanley housing?

Well, in your case, I believe light grey-sliver color bezel is matching better to your car since sliver is your body color. Personally, I love to see the car maintaining almost the same tone instead of something different. That's why I also tinted the fog lens.
