The amber part of the lights look great!


Although I will be honest with you and say, I am not digging the chrome paint. JMO

Hey Rob, if you do another set of amber reflectors, I'd tint the amber a little to tone down the amber color and then paint the rest of the reflector. Then the part that shows will be a little more subtle.

might be cool, or the color you have the brembos.

im always going for stealth.

I am not sure how well the front will do on installation too. the rear were easy, not one scratch. dont know if Ill be that lucky. plan is touch ups before mounting.

Looks nice. I hate the amber reflectors. IMO I would have painted the whole thing and just went with the signal bulb under the headlight or put in an aftermarket fender light something like this. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu14/LATENATE78/01-3.jpg


But to play it safe and legal Rob It looks Great!!!. I can't wait to see the finished product with the halos...
