Firebird Headlight Concept

Good afternoon all. I really hat how stock birds look sad(if that makes sense) when the headlights are up. So I thought that maybe if i switch them(left to right and right to left) they would look like angry eyes. I photoshoped a picture found on the internet. What I did was, switch the lights side to side, then dropped the cover a little lower, and finally added a little tint to accent the curve. This SHOULD all be do-able(keeping in mind that my motors already don't work on my "stay ups") with basic mounts and trimming of the plastic. What do you guys think? PS please forgive the crappy photoshop, I'm still learning.

The idea works with them in the UP position. But when CLOSED.....you're gonna have some mis matched panels for sure

PS: Your photoshop skills are better than mine. I open them with PAINT and alter!!!

This is what I did years ago.

The hinge is going to be the hardest part, and the frames will need a lot of work I you can even use the stock ones at all.

I seen those when looking at headlight mods. Those came out so freaking nice man! but they seem like a lot more work than I'm looking to put into them.
