Default Whistler headlight mod... with a twist

My wife is out of town with the digital camera, so pictures will have to wait until this weekend.

My headlights are sitting on the coffee table right now waiting for the paint to dry so I can seal them back up and go to bed. I have never seen this done before, so I'm anxious to see how they look on the car tomorrow.

I've been thinking about doing this for quite a while now and finally bit the bullet.

Bingo! I think it looks good too, but now I need to get some clear front corner markers. I will try to use a co-workers camera to get some pictures up later today.

Well, I just tried out my buddies camera and it sucks! The pics are so bad I won't even post them... it makes my car either look pink or a rust color.

i just did mine body colored as well but it's silver and it didn't make a huge difference. it does look better but it's very subtle on my car. in should stand out a lot on other colors. i always wondered why no one did that to begin with. when i first saw the mod, my first thought was to go with the body color.

I don't like some colors of the C6's. Black is the only one that looked good.

Jeez, you're a bunch of impatient fools!!! Here's the best of the crappy set that I took the other day. I will take some better ones when my wife gets back to town with MY camera and I get a chance to clean the car up some.
