Default subtle headlight modification

I thought I'd share the slight mod I made to the look of my quad headlights on my '91 Coupe.
I thought the headlight bezels were overkill with too much chrome, which I thought lost some of the nice detail of the headlights. So I got some small pieces of black vinyl from a local vehicle wrap place and made some small fillers to accentuate the 4 lights and their "rims".
Whatdya think?

I like it.

I've never liked all that flat, chromed plastic between the headlights either. It just looks cheap to me. I've always thought it should either have some sort of texture, or, color there, as on the '64 & '65 Thunderbirds.

An idea I've played around with, is to convert that wasted space into functional cold air inlets, by cutting those sections out, and putting stainless steel screen in the voids.
