Re: headlights covers
my personal feelings are dont cover or blackout any of the lights, but that is my opinion. also i dont really understand what you mean by go on a slant, do you mean like following the bumper if you looked at it from the side? or slant when viewed from the front?

Re: headlights covers
i would also have to agree, it looks kinda off with a just a peice like that, but thats just me, it is your car man if you like it thats what counts its all about personal taste.

Re: headlights covers
You know, he could just cut one of those peices and glue it to the inside of one of those clear covers. That would create a better blackout effect on that section.

Re: headlights covers
Would your high-beams still function with that? Pretty sure if a cop felt like being a d**k he could write you a ticket for that. I think it would look better if it was a bit more subtle. Instead of the plastic peice going down as far on the center, maybe raise it up a bit. It would change the ratio of people who wonder what that is to people who think it looks mean in a better way.

Re: headlights covers
well i though going shorter on it too so it did'nt cover as much and cuting them into two pieces to kind over lap both light insted of shoting right across.

Re: headlights covers
Just start with these and you can adjust them with scotch tape until you get the look right: http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/inc/sdetail/8708
Once you get it right, any clear or black adhesive should do the trick.

Re: headlights covers
I tossed around the idea of trying to make something like this. IMHO, your angle is WAY too steep. Try something more suttle. remember, less is more.

Re: headlights covers
I tried some photoshops to make it look good. I Used STEEL's car.
I think a seperate "brow" on each light looks better than one big one covering both.
Not a fan of it myself, but I hope this helps ya.

Re: headlights covers
i was thinking about a similiar concept myself, but figured on something more complex like using those tiny oldsmobile headlights for the high beams and then making the slanted-in covers, built off the hood or nose.
