I've never seen that done before, I bet it would look good if done right though. Not sure how you would go about it to make it look "right" though.

We're doing retros this weekend and man it seems like everybody has painted the reflectors black. I was thinking painting them red and just the shrouds black. I've seen pictures in here of gen 4's done in red I couldn't really get a grip on how mine would look if I did them the way I'm considering.

You seem to be forgetting that side mirrors can't dim and they get hit with the light too. I don't know for certain whether it's illegal or not but I have seen people get ticketed for it here.

It's just rude either way, illegal or not.

And I'd also make the point to mention to the responding officer that I couldn't see anything because the intense lighting that engulfed my entire car from improper use of HID bulbs.
What I've found is really fun is when you build a more powerful hid setup than them, say an actual retrofit, then ride around at them/behind them with your high beams on, they get the hint eventually. I've let a few of those people pass me before due to the glare, then get behind them, flip the leveler switch in my car to full height, and blast my high beams too. Give them a full dose of CBI bulbs and HIR high beams. They usually get the hint, after I do it to the same people a few days in a row.

Also did this (rather poor) photochop of Fen52690's car, with DR-34s in black and some lowering.

Can you fit it in your pocket? I had a review unit for a couple days and it looks absolutely ridiculous in your pocket.

Yeah, I haven't made up my mind on it yet. Every time I go somewhere, someone wants to play with it. I've noticed girls love it tho.
