Default Anyone painted inside of headlights? (56k beware)

I was curious if anyone on this forum has painted the inside of their headlights to match their cars' exterior like that of the Ferrari Modena's...ya know, the entire thing all one color. Anyone have pics if so? I think the Xenon's would look AWESOME like that!

if you take off the reflective portion of the headlights your hids will not work, the light will not project if you paint the parabolas.

The headlights already come with chrome housings, and since i got hyperblack rims, I wanted to have a silver/black theme going.

The xenon lamps on the 360 Modena are optional. Both models, however, use projector beams.
