Keep the halos. They look a lot better than the whistler on your car.

Haha I thought your car was purple in the first pic. I'd say leave rthe halos on, just because them engaging when you engage your nitrous is a Bad *** idea. Its cool that the people that know the car know when they need to be scared.haha Its also a small plus that even without the nitrous thing i'd think the halos still looked better.

Halos...And not because I have them.From looking at your car,they just look cleaner and add a nice touch to your car...And I'm kinda liking the stock hood on there as well over the scoop.SS hood would be cool as well.

Yup, looks like you missed a step. You should have painted the grooved area all the way up to the reflector.
More like this....

Personal preferance.... I have seen it done both ways. But IMHO your right looks much better.

Your right. I guess it is a preference thing. I just never saw any like that for the DIY Whistlers. I've seen ebay ones like that though.

halos + polished billet grill + SS hood or Dick Harrell cowl = it no longer looking like a catfish but more like a psychotic shark

I've been thinking about the halos too but it looks a tad weird IMO on NBM.

I don't like the whistler mod either...

HOW ABOUT THE WHITE HALOS? If i get halos i think i'll get the white ones.(like brian2006)

I like the halos....I have them too!
