Lightbulb Has anyone tried this

One thing I don't like about the 99-01 front fascia is the shape of the headlights. They are not sleek. But I was wondering if we got vinyl cut and stuck on our headlights, it would improve the look. I might try it sometime. Heres a MS Paint edit of a possible idea, what do you all think?

Meh not feeling that. I think the 99-01 headlights look great, but not everyone likes the same thing.

upon looking at the gallery, i found some pictures that has 99-01 with mesh grille on on those headlight and looked awesome... actually it looked better than 02-03. You should do the same.

yeah just do the eyelids. if anything, do the vinyl eyelids and make them custom low, but don't angle them. and don't do the bottom vinyl.

No way.

I love the 99-01 fronts.

I have eyelids if you want them.

You would just need to get them painted.

i had a set of eyelid on my NPB and it looked bad ass. i took em off now i cant find them
but yeah, if you're gonna do anything, cover the top a bit, then that's it. covering the bottom is gonna cut off light to the street
