Hey Guys, I a having alot of trouble cutting out this many sets of covers. For right now I'm going to have to decline all orders until I figure out a more efficient way of cutting the plastic. I'm really sorry.

Ok, Well not real functioning hideaways, but I did make some custom headlightcovers that give it the hideaway look! All it took was some scraps laying around the garage, spray paint, pin stripe and some creativty.

I likem.

What do you guys think?

thats pretty cool pics with lights on ...

I think they'd look better in black personally. in the light you can tell the color is way off and it would really bother me. probably ruins your light output too, but I am sure you considered that when you did it.

pretty creative and fitment looks good, though.

To each their own... but not diggin it...sorry

ctk1 · 09-24-2010, 09:31 PM

I'm trying to get some pics to come out with the lights on but am not having much luck. With the flash on, you can't see the ligts. With the flash off all you see are the lights.

Yeah, they are definitely blocking the lights pretty good, but I knew that would happen with headlight covers. Its no different that the blacked out headlight covers. The paint actually matches pretty well. It just looks off in that pic for some reason. I got a can of victory red touchup so its very close.

I think they look pretty good, but to bad about functionality of the lights. Hope you didn't spend the extra on halos. ~can't see'em.
The overall look is nice!!
