That last pic looks like it's black in color. In the day time you can see the metal flake and at dawn it looks gray. CRAZY!!!!

I don't like the paint scheme you went with, but that being said I DO think it's better than stock and I do like that it's unique.

With sealing it up after <24 hours to dry though I'd be weary of that. The paint can still offgas and cause some small problems if it isn't totally dry.

^ Idk how you could say this when you did not do your own headlights. Raul and my own headlights have ran into no such problems between heating and rain this last week in CA.

Omar, Raul and I tried to decide on something that would not kill the look of the car by adding too much black to an already all black car. Not everyone likes the "murdered out" look that you went with, but to each his own I guess. These headlights look hot in person.

Haha slow down killer, I can say that cause I know how paint works and I've worked with many different kinds of paint over the years. I didnt do my own cause I'm not comfortable taking apart the headlight housing and sealing it back together. But either way that doesn't really matter. If you have no problems, awesome! I would allow more time to dry, thats me.

And not everyone is going to like it, I know that with mine, and there's no reason to get upset when they don't...I do like that it is a unique scheme I just think the GS of the housing is a little out of place. If the front emblem was GS or something it might tie it together a little more. Just my opinion. If he/you don't want both sides of peoples opinions then you shouldn't post it

And murdered out is definitely not what I did, murdered out is horrible looking IMO but thats neither here nor there

I understand. Not trying to attack anyone and sorry if it seems that way. Im not too worried about the sealing process as these headlights are double sealed just as your limited edition ones are. No leaks, moisture or fog. You may not be able to tell from these quick pictures but the grille emblem is color matched to the housing. And true you are entitled to your opinion about it.

exactly everyones taste is different and entitled to their own opinions. I'm satisfied with the look and quality of Raul's work, and yeah Kevin's lights took some major weather change this past week so we trust the sealing process that were using with this headlight mod.

thanks for the feed back.
more photos coming later.
