I happen to have it sitting in front of me.

It's Krylon Fusion for plastic. It has the hammered finish and is a dark grey (gunmetalish) color.

Funny, I thought people quit being asses about such things about then.

It's an essentially free mod that makes the front end look a lot better. Why not do it? He'd rather spend his cash towards on some nice wheels and tires instead of $400 headlights.
