Blacked out headlights, removed grille inserts
I bought Seed60's blacked out headlights and corners. I installed them and removed my mesh grille inserts.

Thanks to Mequiars Plastx and 1000 grit sand paper, I got some major scratches out of the passenger side corner light.

The head lights and turn signals look more defined now with the black background

Thanks for the compliments.

Billy, I think they're just the usual eBay headlights.

That's exactly why I like black head lights better. They refine the front end and give it a sportier look. The stockers are nice dont get me wrong, but way to much chrome. Looks great man!

Nope, hood isn't propped, years ago I tried pushing a shopping cart out of my way cause I was too lazy to get out... Little did I know, there was a curb in front of me, and it's been that way ever since.
