Smoked film headlamps/ Blacked out emblems pics

Makes it look like a sleepy catfish. Different doesn't always mean it looks good. Not my style, but to each his own. The blacked out front emblem look good, but

Makes it look like a sleepy catfish. Different doesn't always mean it looks good. Not my style, but to each his own. The blacked out front emblem look good, but shaved emblems would be even better.

It's your car OP, do whatever makes you happy.

I bet that light scheme helps the 7at shift even faster.

I think a more sophisticated edge, and one that covered the chrome strip, would have looked better - see the black line in that attached picture.

ditto.


i like that you are trying to be different, but your design looks like you were trying to use up some left over window tint scrap. Maybe if you had continued even further out of the box you would have nailed it. I can imagine its very hard to cut curves with tint film, and then getting it to lay down the way you want is hard too. AND THEN you would have to duplicate it on the other light, so i can understand why you took the simpler approach.

Interesting look. Kinda reminds me of a Z that just got back from an Allman Bros concert.

Eh, not a fan of the half tinted headlight at all.

Just looks... odd.
