AE mod and angel eyes installed.

Did a little modding while the weather got warmer. I AE modded the headlights and added angel eyes while i was at it. Also made the mesh grille black, but you can't see it...may go back to silver. Comments welcome.

Without Eyelids:





With Eyelids:







Now i have to change my current superwhite chrome bulbs to led bulbs so everything matches.

I made those eyelids. I bought plastic gts covers, cut them with a dremel, and had a body shop paint them for $20. They stick on with 3m double-sided tape. More pics on my home page (pg 3).

I like it....just did it to change the front end a little. It's little things like this which sets all our maxes apart from one another, making us unique in some way. I did this project because i liked it and i was bored. What i really want are smoked cefiros with projectors. Hopefully in the future.

Same here, not a big fan of the eye lids during the day, but at night they look hot.

Lights have to be the same color. If they were then I'll say they look good.

What's with the F+F foglights?

You asked for opinion and here it is. The angle-eyes look out of place, not to mention that its too darn big. And since they are attached to the headlight lense, it angles in a funny way plus it looks oblong not round if you look at them directly from the front of the vehicle. Angle-eyes go with projectors, anything else simply looks . Just my 2 cent.

for telling the truth.

I have one question to ask everyone, how in the hell does that look good? A lot of you aren't even being real with yourselves just because you don't want to hurt the guys feelings when it shouldn't be about that anyway. He asked for opinions and you guys need to be real with him.

Looks like ****.

The point of the "angel-eye" parking lights are to encircle and frame the light source... and the light source (projector, reflector lens) are ROUND. The idea of this aesthetic concept is not hard. Sticking in circular parking light rings doesn't mean you have "angel-eyes". What are your rings framing? With your headlights on, the entire reflector lights up. It looks more like beer goggle eyes.

When I see that kind of mods I picture a kid in preschool stuffing cube blocks into round holes and spheres into square holes.

Hopefully, they'll grow up knowing what goes with what and what doesn't.

Great. Now all you have to do is paint it black, install a voice recognition computer, and start calling it kitt. Seriously though im not feeling it. Too neon-ish for me. A car shouldnt take on organic characteristics.

Sorry not feeling it. "Angel eyes" belong on projectors.
