I think it's stupid. If it's a show car, or ONLY driven during daylight hours... then I guess it's ok.. still doesn't look good.

Everybody dance like it's 1999 again! j/k It's very retro "tuner". BUT it's your car, and if you like it, then ok.

Lol...I know it looks weird and the light still work fine. I CAN see. Right now I'm in Italy so it's no big deal. (unlike Cali.)
I was trying to go for the Berk Technology 135i car look. |

I think it looks good, but I'd be concerned with diminishing light output. On my previous car, I considered smoking the headlamps. I ended up taking apart the housing and spraying everything shiny that wasn't a reflector housing.

You're way off in that case! I hope you don't drive at night, and if you do drive at night and get into an accident... it'll probably be your fault. Sorry for being such an ass, but you essentially wasted your time, money, and energy doing something to diminish the performance of your car.

Illegal? I believe here in IL you must be able to see the lights from 1000 ft...brake lights from 500ft so it does not matter what you do to them as long as they are visible. It is was actually written into the State code ... all states are different as usual. I am not a fan myself. looks like a Honda.

Good attempt, bad results. Mayb they'd look ok if u didnt have the carbon fiber hood. With it on, it makes it look like you have several different shades of black on your car and none them blend together...
Thats whats good about this site though, you try it so that I know not to.... |
