My $7 mod
Spent $7 to paint the L+R headlight moles on my 2007 fz6.

IMO it looks much better ;-)

Surprisingly it looks good alright!

Did you have to sand the old paint off before layering on the new black paint or just sprayed the new paint straight on?

I got the idea from the 08's as they have the black mole. I did'nt want to spend $120 to get new ones so just painted existing ;-)

I agree and thought about it myself, i am just figuring out if the bright blue works with the flat black as well as the dark blue does... I think i am leaning towards liking it though
