yea you can make em easy enough i've been thinking about it for a wile but havent botherd take 1gb head lights trim the face add the plate cut some plexi glassand. This is replacing the flip light only. keep your 1ga head light/side light/turn signal on the front end.

then trim and match to hood and frotn head light cover.

huh....lol..I think he means to keep the stock 1ga set up...when u get a carbon hood....ur flip up headlights are still the colour of your car...in my case, i could have a carbon hood...but my headlight would still be champange. they unbolt super easy, 4 bolts on each corner and the headlight "cover" comes off and exposes the headlight basket. this wrapping those little sqaure painted pieces of metal wouldnt be too hard... BUT ZACH!

I love your idea to eliminate pop ups...if thats what ur going for in your post...kinda what it sounds like...make those painted covers clear....and mount 1gb headlight in behind??? or something like that...

Sorry, I misread, it looked at first like your all caps part was yelling.  Upon re reading it looked like you were just exited about a good idea.

I only restated the easyest way to do it

yea you can make em easy enough i've been thinking about it for a wile but havent botherd take 1gb head lights trim the face add the plate cut some plexi glassand. This is replacing the flip light only. keep your 1ga head light/side light/turn signal on the front end.

then trim and match to hood and front head light cover.

I have the lights if you want em 15 bucks.

I wanted to make it look like my car winked only have one 1gb head light becouse it would be a very simple valosity stack aria by keeping the 1ga hood style on that side. but I wouldnt pass a VI if my life depended on it.
