Default headlight buckets painted on ls1 cars

i just did this in like ten minutes because the paint was coming off due to the previous owners macoe job, i always wanted to see it on an ls car, what do you guys think? im kinda undecided, i dont like the headlights in it though, dont really fit the car in my opinion. the lines kinda sloppy on it, like i said it was a quickie job that was an attempt to cover up the paint that was coming off of it
but how does everyone feel about the satin black buckets?

Change the headlights to either black halos or take those you have, open them up, remove the halo from it (which makes it just like stock headlights), then whistler it! I think it would look pretty good whistlered
