Hmmmm... Might have been something else. I hit a huge block of styrofoam a couple of weeks ago right on the pointy part of the front bumper and there wasn't even a scratch.
But anyway, pics or fail.

Get different mod mirrors now

This truck threw a big ass rock at my car about a month ago...actually chipped and cracked the thick front windshield. It looked like a golf ball coming at me in slow motion on the highway but I couldn't swerve away.

"Cheap" and "easy" should not be in the same sentance as "retrofitting"...

Chris would know, he's got enough time/money in those headlights of his... But they are sexy as hell... Retro is one of the things I'd like to do to mine, if I can quit spending so much damn money on stereos...

OP, if you've got the time to sit down and do it right (and of course the money to pay for it) I'd retro...

Fred had to re-do his... How much fun was that one Fred?

<------------------

I actually stole the one pic you've posted like a billion times of the front of your headlight, and loaded it onto my photobucket... Whenever I need some inspiration, I look there. Even though it's now like 19 pages deep behind hundreds of audio pics...

That cutoff is beyond sexy. Mine's all messed up right now, and the adjusters on the head lights are rusted/siezed... Might try some PB Blaster on them sometime, but I dunno... Do you have an estimated cost, if you hadn't switched parts so many times? Just a rough guess of only the parts in there right now? I'm wondering if/when I could potentially do it, because it would be sweet...
