I am planning to do the same exact thing on my 08, just not down so far. The stupid "wings" on the 08 headlights are retarted.

Looks pretty mean. I like where you're going with this.

However, "team rigs rules" = Please post a picture of your whole car. A mod might move this to "Exterior Modification". Just trying to help ya out!

p.s. for the full picture, make it a day time shot PLZ!

I cant make out if the car is black or blue. (sorry I'm half color blind)

i think you should come even with the top of the grille in the front and continue the line to cover the top half of the reflective part on the side of the light.

That's exactly what I am doing on mine.

Echoing what 1svt4u2c said -- I really like where you're going with it.

I'd love to see it in vinyl or plastic

those would look real good, especially if the grill was painted black

That's kinda what I was thinking...

Chris, I'd keep them where they're at, and even come all the way over to the fender, as well as paint the grill black, that would look excellent.

Bring it over to the top bar on the grill and do it black with the top bar on the grill black, leave the bottom bar chrome!!

Yeah go all the way to the fender, and either go to the top of the bottom bar of the grill or to the bottom. That way it makes your eyes follow the line. Post up a pick during the day so we get a good shot of the front end, with or without the tape. Someone can probably shop you a pic too, wouldn't be hard at all.

Good idea.

Please post more pics when done.
