    Eh...six of one, half dozen of the other. Not much difference in my eye.

    Yep !
    Personally, I would have left the top ones on, as I have never liked those headlight stands.

    I like the black it ties with the frame and wheels

    If it were my car, I would paint the windshield frame body colour, I think it sticks out like a sore thumb, it draws the eye to it rather than blending in as part of the car overall. When I look at your car, the first thing I see is windshield frame. DSC05379.JPG

    Chrome would be my choice, if that's not in the cards body color.
    Agree with the rest who said to move the lights forward.

  10. Really nice change! I wish I could move them forward. The shock mounts prevent a good alignment! IMG_20190516_180112.jpeg IMG_20190517_163920.jpeg

    Don't sweat it, they look good. Just make sure they work as good as they look, then drive the stew out of it......
