Nice I really like it, i had a very similar idea to do with the headlights, mine was just for kicks though but that looks really good, nice job.

I still love Tbats more though, I think it's cause he has the black projectors.

After looking at it more I don't care for it. It makes the car looke crosseyed. The clear area is just too narrow. Maybe when you redo if you just do the signal portion.

I've already redone them. They look the same in pics just about but much different in person.

I had contemplated leaving the chrome corner but thought it would look funny and their would be a nasty edge from the thickness of the paint.

Even before tinting the corners I had always thought that the projectors make it look cross eyed. I think maybe the tint just makes it a little more noticeable.

At first I hated the look, but now it keeps the car more monotone and I like it. It would look much better if their was just a white reflector instead of the amber but since it's not possible to open up the light I had to do next best thing. I would have rathered tint the inside of the housing instead of the lens, but again, not possible.

Overall, i'm happy and it has grown on me. I'm sure some ppl like it and some don't. Which was the case before I tinted them.

no link, sorry, it's just a black box with a picture of the caliper on it and it's located in the auto paint section of CT.
