Nice work.

I have to admit, though, I'm not a big fan of the look on the car. It needs something to fill in the emptiness.

It might be that the car is so square in comparison to the round projector lamps...

They look like beaty little eyes staring at you...I'm sure they look good at night though, and good DIY BTW.

Looks good.

I would like to see it with a 92-94 SE grill. Are you interested in making a set to sell?

I sure can. Thats what i do man lol. This retro wasnt too bad. The headlights were 100, the projectors 140 and shroud was 50 so about 300 since in did it. If i were to sell it the only other cost would be labor for doing which would be 125 for these. So 425 with all new parts.

Wow, I didn't realize that ish was so expensive. I don't think it would be worth it to me since I don't drive much at night.
