I like the blue. I'm pretty into it. I'm wondering how the super black matched headlights would look. Prolly pretty hot. Bat, i thought you were putting a cf hood on also.

Not feelin' in either. I wasn't 100% sure on the blackened ones you posted a week ago-ish, but liked that better than the blue painted.

I like it... is this a photoshop bat? or did you paint open up your lights again and repaint?

either way, I like it a lot... grey is nicer given your car's color scheme, and the chrome is a little bling... but it works

You're giving Bat to many idea's....lol

that carbon fiber idea sounds ideal there bat if your gunna have ur carbon fiber hood... that way you maintain the appearance of a blacked out housing (very nice by the way) but matched w/ ur carbon fiber hood........sounds like an excellent possibility

It'd look better with the lenses smoked a little bit for a slight contrast between the headlight and the body.

When you look at it now there are too many lines breaking everywhere and its hard for the eyes to quickly identify the form of the headlight housing.

Vettes and Modena get away with the projectors and minimalist design.

Overall I love the idea...very bold.

Can you do the exact same mod, but with a smoked chrome look? You know... as if you have smoke tint over the chrome portions? I don't like flat black as with other mods.

You should be shot for having it that small where we have to squint to admire it!
