Consensus on headlight trim ring color
What do you think of black trim rings on a 1987 guards red 911? My rings were in poor shape. I was thinking also of chrome, but there is no other chrome on the car. I can easily get a rattle can of guards red and make it original.

I think they look pretty racy if you have aftermarket bumpers.
I personally like the body color trim rings, just looks cleaner imo.
