New Custom Housing with pics

Hey guys, its been a while....i just got back into fixing up my cl...during the winter i usually dont do much because of the snow and what not but now that its getting nice out, its cl time!...so i wanted to fix my headlight lenses during my spring break because they were getting foggy, while i was fixing them i was thinking of new mods for my car and i thought, why not redo the housing a little different this time... eventually i opened up the light and used red high heat paint to paint a trim around the housing i later tried to make the grill similar to the housing so they can match...its reminiscent of the VW GTI grill trim...here are some pics, what do you guys think...

it's different, I'm not big on it in the headlights, but I like the mesh grill, and i like how the grill has the white outer piece, that looks real clean with the white and the lip. I'm having trouble really seeing what it looks like on the headlight, maybe you could try to take pics with less sun glare

The mesh grill looks nice.

looks like the car used to be red and then you didnt get a very good paint job. red door jams and engine bay would finish out the cheap paint job theme

Now you need black or white wheels with a red lip. That would look sick imo.
