I used the clone stamp. I was looking it over and the blacked out headlights are more right on since the line from the turn signal goes to the headlight. It was just an idea.

I like that grill! You know whats funny.. is that I was thinking of that same concept on the TL but didnt think it would look right. Now that you placed it on the car, it looks great. I saw a similiar idea from a Mercedes and made it look aggressive.

Like this one:
