I actually think the other way around...the OEM headlights look cheap as is.

The Whistler mod is how they should have come from the factory!

And any chance you have some pics of your SS from the rear corners PewterSS#4302?? I always thought the idea of mixing the gfx wwith the SS body was an interesting idea.

I did the Whistler mod to my lights and they look nice. I broke the **** out of both lights pulling them apart though. If you open my hood you can see a **** load of clear silicone covering all of my mistakes. lol Be careful when doing this mod.

Anyone know where to get the black molding on the headlights? Mine are nasty.
