Because of my work schedule I can't make cruise nights during the week. I frequent car shows on the weekends. There is one in Palatine this Sunday if you are interested. I will be there and I might have to judge also. Corner of Hicks and NW Highway - let me know.

i think maybe you should have made the eyebrows wrap around towards the fenders.

I don't think that looks bad at all. You followed the "seam lines" that were already in the headlight housing right?

i thought about it and still might add something later - the only problem being there is no line to tie into other than the one that was already there - sure i could estimate and get something to work but i like the way they turned out ... once again is one of those things that just looks better in person ... i dont know if i mentioned it or not before but i want the ccfl projector headlight housing thats all black inside, as these were scratched and yellowing already any attempt to get some more life out of them wasnt entirely a wasted effort

this was mainly just to see if i could get them back to clear and shiny again ... which i managed

EDIT ----
@ miller ... yeah they happened to line up perfectly with the hood so i figured why not ...
