Default my new project .....

thanks to xfeejayx for hooking me up with these headlights.
this all started cause my current headlight lenses are in pretty bad shape.

here is what i have so far. still more painting to do in the blinker area, going to color match white where the reflective blinker part should be.

the mopar logos were a B*TCH!!! they dont look perfect but with them behind the lens they wont be scrutinized as much. was even thinking about a light coat of night shades over the blue.... not sure.....

actually i used a lid to a bottle of vitiman c to make a circle, then used the bottom of a little abuteral inhaler for a smaller circle, and a creditcard to get straight lines, and made my own mopar logo. then i taped off the lens, and drew the logo on the tape, cut the logo out of the tape and sprayed it. now it need alot of clear coat action. but im too tired to do it. will update tomarrow after work... will be painting the white tomarrow . im almost debating weither or not to go with white. need somthing to reflect the signal bulb, i figured white would work.....
