I like it, almost feel like you need to blackhouse the headlights though, if you're not feelin that, the grill still compliments the smoked ambers nicely

well see, a mechanic did care about mine, really he was being a dick about it, I'll use tape this time around, although iridescent silver might be hard to find. I like yours though, perfect size.

i used tape when i did it too. just enough that if you were familiar with the cl headlights you would double take, but not enough for 99% of people to notice it. black cars also show every little scratch, swirl, paint etching. the front of my car looks like right now cus of it. im gonna need the front bumper and hood repainted if i cant buff and polish it all out. i found a painter i just need to find the right color black.
