Overlay "eyelids" reduce apparent size of headlights

What do you think?

Looks good although the indicators might be a tad hard to see.

I like it. For me it seems to make the bonnet look longer and the car more substantial and powerful from that angle at least...also, seems more sophisticated and mainstream, like the 2010.

Your point is valid. I took this photo as dusk approached, so will need another at noon to fully appreciate just how much the indicators suffer and if it presents any danger.

I think it looks good on a black car. My pearl color would look like a heroin addict with black eyeliner over the headlights.

Thanks - I've felt since day one that the headlight/indicator package was too large and this is my present solution to what bugged me.

Another angle:

LOL...

Now I'm going to have this imagine in my head all day.

Here is the indicator on at high noon. The overlay does degrade the amount of light somewhat, but I think it is still visible enough.

Haha, your car looks extremely happy now. Congrats

I think it looks great. And your photos are terrific.

Is it legal?

(Laws? We don't need no stinkin' laws!)
