      i heard that Nightshades can wear off tho in a period of a few months and i really dont want to have to keep reapplying it. altho its just what i heard, havent actually used the stuff myself.

      i will more or less use the how-to about the turn signal removal and use sheets of tint. and i am about 80% sure i am going to use carbon fiber overlay sheets for the eye lids on the top portion of the headlight and blue vinyl for the bottom portion. still cant completly decide whan i want to do.

      I am afraid to tint/niteshades my turn signals because my aveo is yellow...I'm afraid they will just look like a couple big moles...(nothing against moles in general, its just not the look I'm going for)

      actually it may look pretty cool with the yellow, just take a pic of your car and upload it to your pc, use paint to black them out and that would give you a general idea of what it would look like. or if you have photoshop it would be even better.

      well i finished my headlights and let me tell you guys, that bottom part of the headlight was a bitch to wrap lol. i forgot to take into account the curvature of the head light and how difficult it would make thiings for me. but anyways i got it done and i have to say, it does look badass! i went with black vinyl cus i got it for free-cant argue with that and it matches fine IMO. i took some pics but i forgot the USB cord for my camera so i will have to wait til i get home to uppload any pics for u guys. thanks for ur guyses help!

      looks cool... I would say that further down the line you may look into getting some of that Carbon Fiber vinyl... That would look bomb with your CF Hood...

      that makes absolutely no sence at all.
      What does not make sense? Light is aimed downward out of the headlamp. If it does block any light that high on the lens, you are doing others a favor because you are most likely blinding them because your headlamps are aimed too high.
