Yeah I think I may do that, I did a test before the headlights just to get an idea and I really liked it

Oh, and don't worry, I popped the headlight outline off, I just wasn't feeling it, thanks for the honest feedback y'all!

If you like it go for it! It doesn't matter what others like or don't like. But since you are asking, I think you are questioning yourself on how this looks. That indicates a no go. When something works, you know right away. You don't have to ask others.

I like it.

Also im not sure it's 100% legal since it's technically reflective tape...

No problem man. We all don’t want to see someone do something to their car that begs a question of....”dear god, why”.

I like the rim idea. There are stock rims with the red trim as well. Looks sharp on the right car.

I think just no is the answer you're looking for. Looks great across the front and side splitters though.

Not something I would do, but if you like the look, go for it. You can always change it back later if you decide to do so.

Don't like it personally, but it is your car.

One thing to consider is doing the eyelids. I did not care for it at first, but then I spent the $7 and tried it and liked it. There are lots of vinyl out there but get glossy and for Torch Red the match was very, very close. I could not find the thread, but I found a picture (not my car).




If you end up not liking it they just peel off

The stripe around the wheels looks good, the headlight outline looks terrible.

It looks like you’re getting ready to prep the car for painting. No thank you.
