Front headlight mod on f32/f36

Dyl · 01-21-2016, 10:52 AM

I've searched the site and can't find any mention of this...

Has anyone tried to cover/hide the top part of the headlight on an f3x?

From certain angles it looks super white because the reflection off the sky, it catches my eye sometimes and just bugs me a little.

It might look awful, and generally I wouldn't condone such brutality, but I am curious what it would look like if done correctly. It may make the front look a bit more evil.

I tried a little photoshop to see...

Anyone seen anything like it?

I used matte black vinyl just over the chrome on the top and I love how it came out.

So eyelids? Like what people used to do on their ek civics? Lol

Joking aside, the black vinyl does give the front a different look. Pretty neat!

Sorry for the late reply I mustn't have subscribed to the thread correctly.

That is exactly what I was meaning and it looks good! I'm surprised more people aren't trying to do something similar.
