IMHO it looks great now. I'm not a fan of headlight tint, would look better with just black painted headlights...but even with the tint doesn't look bad. nice car man

Looks good....not sure what road conditions get like in your area, but the one thing I worry about with not having the lower in is getting a rock through the opening...that would suck

Looks way better in the after pic. Just black out your stock headlight housings w/ spray paint. You'll love it. Also... Please.. I repeat.. PLEASE... drop your car

i drove around for about 8k miles before i put it in and never hit anything. and never hit anything while it was in. bought the car at 24k and its a few hundred short of 41k so i think it'll be okay

but yeah i took the tint off for two reasons trav. one...it started peeling/chipping on the driverside one near the turnsignal. and two, i didn't use to drive at night really but now i'm leaving the house at 5:30 mon-fri and visibilty became an issue
