    I was excited when I got these because I thought they would look really neat on my car. Now I mocked them up and I've decided they really don't fit my car very well. All in favor say "aye".

    I like them. What would they look like upside down and a little farther back?

    They might look better if they were set back..but I think they might be too big.Cool lights though..

    I don't think they fit the track nose look,I'm not even sure if the big 32's would look good,can't really tell with out seeing.This is where the photoshop guys come in show us some looks with different lights,I'm thinking something small.--TV [​IMG]
     
  6. I like em. The Passenger side looks like it is sitting too far out. It would be cool if the grill hole matched the shape of the headlights but it be tuff to make it look right.

    They remind me of "The Scream". [​IMG]

    I actually like them, but maybe inset a little bit more like some others mentioned...

    That's going to be a really neat car, by the way!

    They might be a tad large, but I think the shape goes good with the car. Maybe a lil' further back and they'll look good.

    I think they look too "Limousine "
    Too much like they belong on a staid old big car like a Packard or a Nash

    Fuck yes! a bit farther back and with a grill in it iand they will look right at home. I think anything would look huge without the grill in the shell.
     
  13. I think they look cool, but if you don't like 'em, send 'em this way! [​IMG]
     
  14. Here I did a quick photoshop. Moved the lights down and in a little and reshaped the openning. The chin looks a little big now (Jay Leno will like it [​IMG]) I'm not that good at photoshop so I didn't add grill bars. .

    I would move them back and as close to the radiator shell as possible. But I would keep those lights, they look tough as hell!

    Yes, I agree if the grill was reshaped at the bottom to the shape of the lights,then they work,but I dought Grim wants that much work just to use the headlights.--TV [​IMG]

    I think they are an interesting shape.
    Moving them back and down would make them look smaller.
    Painting them to match the body might make them look smaller.

    But even so,they appear larger than a regular sealed beam.
    And it's that extra size and visual weight that could conflict
    with the minimalist racecar inspired styling.It could go either way.

    What do the look like upside down? [​IMG]

    I'd move them back far enough that they're behind the car, on the floor, where we can't see them. Try something round. IMHO. dirty dug

    I think they are cool lights, but need So-What's treatment or something similar. The thing thats nice about them is the fact they are DIFFERENT, and that is good IMO.

    Cool car, unusual headlights. I just don't think they go together. Just my input.
