Not sure about the headlights, interesting concept though.
Like the tails.

The ones I posted were from your CarDomain... I clicked on the thumbnail, then copied the image source from the pop-up.
If you are not worried about storing your images later, use imageshack.us
Or, if you use Firefox, get the Imagebot add-on
I tried copying the link from the pop up in the first post...wierd, Anyway thanks for the help, I'll have to try imageshack
Looks nice, I like the headlights, not sure about the corners tho.
LOVE the tails.
I use Maj.com or Myspace.com for pictures.

How does it effect you headlight pattern? Do they still shine as much as prior
Yeah I didn't cover up any of the lighting or reflecting surface on the headlights.
I'm not sure of the corners either yet, I'll go take a better picture of the corner here in a minute.
i really like it, especially the tails. what did you use? mine are boring and i want to do something to them. this looks like a plan.
Well to be honest with you... $0.97 can of gloss black paint, automotive clear coat, electrical tape, acetone, scotch brite pad.
First I scuffed the entire surface, be careful not to take off the DOT letters. Cleaned with Acetone. I used electrical tape to mask off where I didn't want painted because it's a little easier to form to the rounded edges. Then once it was masked off I cleaned again with acetone to get any oil/dirt off that my hand got on it while masking. Painted, the usual, thin light coats until I was happy with the color. peeled the tape off while the paint was wet, let sit for about 10 min and clear coat...I think I put about 4 thin coats of clear. That was pretty much it. Now I need to pull them all back off and wet sand but it's snowing outside so F that lol. I'm probably going to do my girlfriends car here soon so maybe I'll take step by step pictures, it's really simple and you can do a complete custom job if you have some better ideas...maybe play around with photochop first.
Here's a little better pic of the corners, I just stayed with the lines of the chrome plastic inside.
love the headlights and corners
kind of like what i did with my sunfire headlights, i used black paint and made evil eyes...
