Question "color matched" pink headlights..??? Yes or no

I already know what I want to do pink to the back and side of my car but I want something pink in the front... I think evo mod would be too much.... What if we got the headlights colored? Good idea or bad. I'm just trying to get some ideas for the front! Input please! Thanks!

I think pink headlights might be more too much pink than a pink evo mod. I'd either do the evo mod (lower lip only though), or do a pink bowtie, or remove the bowtie and do a pink SS badge. Oh, get pink hid fog lights.

The side little spoiler inserts and the top are going to be pink. Pink hids are illegal here in az and my bow tie is already pink I just want a few things pink. I don't want to go overboard that's why I'm asking

This ^

Pink retro shroud
Pink evo mod (think upper and lower might work)
Pink center on the bowtie with a black surround

That might work. Id want to see it photo shopped first though as it might be too much.
Also depends on the shade of pink.

But I think it could work.

I have blacked out retros with pink halos if ur interested. I was going to use the retros for my car and not wire in the halos but I went a diffrent route. Previous owner said they were supposed to be red but came out pink. Interested? Im letting em go cheap and they come with 4300k hid bulbs.

Do the edges of the bowtie pink and the edges of the SS logos. Subtlty is key when using a high visibility color like that. Less is more.

Oh please no! that would be wwwwaaayyyyyy too much, mabey when you take them apart to retro or paint black or something, do like, a pink star in them or something, just an accent in the housing, I've seen people pinstripe there names in the housing, that looked good to.

But the whole housing pink would be too much.

See I thought about that but if the edges of the bowtie are pink it will blend in too much if the evo mod is done. Without it then that could look good if the bowtie itself is painted black and the shrouds or even the bit of chrome trim around the reflector is painted pink (that lil 1/2 inch section that goes above the reflector) Some photoshopping would be a good idea.

exactly.




to the op theres several choices and ways to do this. Though I agree on it needing to be subtle.
