Huh...I have seen those on ebay and wondered what they actually looked like on the car. Thanks or sharing.

BTW....yep...this is posted in the wrong section. Should just be in regular 3G section...no subsection. Performance Parts & Modifications is just for go-fast stuff exclusively. I learned this myself when the Carbon Fiber Engine Cover thread was moved a while back ago.

Sorry if this is in wrong section. Never saw the general 3G section before. I never went to that page.

Ah...dont sweat it buddy! You would be FAR from the first one to make that mistake...lol! Very common!! The regular 3G section is when you just hit the 3G section and dont hit a subsection. RonA or one of the other mods will move it over there for you at some point...so dont even worry about it! Mikey

I second that, I don't like it at all, it don't seem to go well what the color at all. Even thought the car is black it just don't look right to me at all.

I have a black TL with black vinyl, and it matches the car much better. I think color-matched would look a lot better because of the fact that the TL's hood doesnt reach the headlights, so even if you would get a CF hood, it still would stand out. Just my few cents and dimes.

As much as I love CF, they look out of place. If the headlights lined up with the hood and you had a CF hood on it, then it would look really good. With just that one little splash of CF, it looks completely out of place. JMO.

Not really a fan of the carbon fiber, but glad to see another pic of somebody else's brows. I thought I installed mine wrong when I looked at them and saw the gap between them and the hood!!!

Actually....I may opt out and sell my stuff though an intermediary distributor. After dealing with Kennedy and the whole paypal thing...I just dont need this hassle! Soooo...when you see the price point increase...you will know why.

Funny...e-Shift had the same problem dealing on custom made parts...lol. People are impatient and dont understand all the work that goes into it.

I actually used electrical tape on my headlights to see how I like them before I purchased a set. I ended up peeling it off and was suprised on how much more light output I had back!

I think they look OK as is, but if you like them that's all that matters, anyway having these on does it cut the direction or brightness of the lights at night?..can you post pictures at night with your lights on?..thanks...

i think that our headlamps are very low profile to begin with, this is almost overkill.
then again, i am only a fan of eyelids on a few select cars.
