Should be fine, but instead of buying headlights, do the headlights mod where you bake them and paint the inside black. It's very sweet.

i have heard of a few members on here doing that.. looks like the real deal! sounds like it would take some time.. is there a how to, i could read up on it??

although, i figured for the price i might as well just buy em and save the hassle..
