For some reason it reminds me of the big *** cockroach grass hopper looking bug on Men In Black... I would love for a different headlight option but everything out there looks f'd up.

^^^ too much lines in the openings IMO. I like the OP's v2 and post #30 second pic. Those openings make the car look mean tho..kinda reminds me of vipers from the front, it does give the car a unique, more aggressive look.

^ Those are photochopped, you can make them yourself or buy them online. theyre just a simple flexible led strip.

ebay, autozone, harbor freight, oreilys, they all have them.

You will need Urethane fix rather than fiberglass unless you replace with a Firebird Evolution bumper, which is not a bad idea if you want to start cutting things out. The glass bumper is rigid as opposed the the stock urethane which could droop if you take the wrong parts off.

Look up Hella DRLs. That's what I'm going to use. They are OEM spec so they should be as bright as the ones you see on Audis and Benzes.

The 'Golden Dragon' high-power LEDs guarantee top lighting performance at minimum power consumption: only 5.8 Watts in daytime running light and 0.6 Watts in position light operation. This means the LEDayFlex doesn't only need less current than a daytime running light using H7 bulbs, it also lasts around 30 times longer, with a service life of more than 10,000 hours, which is the equivalent of the vehicle lifetime
Difference between Hella and "Hella Style":

blood t/a i like the first pic, and id fill that body line gap with a small led bar, molded in 1/2" deep at the most...

or maybe take the front bumper, and id love to see just a small center pointed crease like on the 3rd gen's or the early fourth gen's... mostly just where the license plate cover is on the lower part of the bumper

Looks promising. Good for FI cars with the filter location by the DRL lights.
