I've been pirated!
I've been pirated! Many months back i decided that the lights on the Imp & MC were too large and looked funny, so i bought some black vinyl and made eyelids to reduce their appearance:
Someone must have gotten a hold of my pics and used them to profit!
I've since purchased a spare light and am painting them in this same fashion.

This how Toyota feels with Chevy pirating the headlights and grill from the Camry on these cars! 
I was looking at the front of my coworkers Camry SE and if the headlights and milk crate grill mesh dont look similar to what is on my Monte Carlo. I kinda wish Chevy would paint the inside of the headlights with that black chrome finish like on the sport model Camrys

I actually like yours better - they wrap/cover over the top of the headlight more than those commercial ones do... yours look better. nice job!

. I've got one in my shed that i taped off in the shape i have now and sprayed with Krylon black plastic paint and then hit it up with some VHT niteshades to tint the rest, but i went to thick on the VHT. I messed up the paint when i cleaned off the VHT with some Goof-Off, so i gotta start from scratch again.
When you go to shape the vinyl again, use a heat gun and some low heat. You can also have a damp (slightly moist) rag so you can cool the vinyl after it's heated. That is how the tint and vinyl people get it to fit curves nicely.
You also use this technique when wrapping parts in viynl also.
