here is a b4 and after shot of the headlights.

also toying around with the various grills i have.

 

which one of these looks best, in your opinion?

 

or

 

thoughts?

[Evan G]

look a little plain? maybe paint the honey comb parts silver? or vice versa

And personally I like the jailbar grill.

ah bummer mate. pm chat inc

[ae824ate]

I reckon put the chrome back on haha, i spent ages polishing that once!!

Too many grills to choose from. What about a square headlight conversion, just to be different :P

[nerfbat]

lol, sorry mate... :-(

 

and yeah i was sorta thinking something, like from the '55 or W/E..?

[BUZ440]

How about tintin the h/lights?

[nerfbat]

i could get those clear bubble look protectors and tint them? see how that looks?

another idea :-) thanks Carlos

[BUZ440]

Put a film over it, otherwise go the charger look, headlights behind the grille, covers the whole length

[nerfbat]

never thought of a film mate. will check that out, thx
