Yea I haven't gotten too much feedback on that. The previous owner was real dumb and didn't know how to upkeep a car. Anyways they put on an LX exhaust and then cut holes in the bumper cover. So i decided to work with it, I saw a late 60s GT with the tips coming through the bumper with some chrome around them and thought it looked good.

No I didn't do that. I bought the car with the quarter already done but a body shop will charge you for parts and by the hour for labor. I'm sure they would be happy to give you a quote.

Thanks for all the feedback

Lol which ones are the "ugly ones"??? The black halos? I think the clear chrome and the stockers look the best. I was just curious to see how the black angel eyes would look... Maybe someone else would like them??

Sorry for helping out???

No I appreciate the help and you have definitely got some photoshop skills, you can't tell the lights are cropped in I would just never put the second lights on my car but the clears have me thinking

Buffing up your current headlights will help a lot. They won't look brand new but they'll definitely look A LOT better.

I too will have to agree on the clears.

i think the stock head lights are fine, just buy another set.. you dont want anything to flashy..

and you should get a rear bumper from the stalker body kit and use that with lx tail pipes.. that looks kind of funny..

Don't be sorry... It's cool. And yes, the black halos are the ugly ones, it looks like a spider with 8 eyes because of all those little bulbs. It gave it a good comparison.

If you can get a hold of a good buffer go out and get some 1200 grit sand paper so you can wetsand them. Then get rubbing compound(not polishing compound) and buff them out. Trust me, the headlights will look basically new once your done. Just be careful not to leave the buffer in one spot to long or you'll burn the plastic.

you can also get the "budget" kit from LMRS for about $100 if all of your rubber around the lights is still in good shape. paint looks great

you can buff you lights but I think with the new paint, you require new lights. I'd say Euro smoked but with your colors, go with the ultra clear

Its crazy the facelift a new set of headlights will do

paint looks great!
