    What one could do... (I'm not sure of your road laws) I was thinking of eliminating the clear front of the snake eye entirely and just have the amber marker with the black area and headlight cover painted to the body's color, I think that would look very good.

    Hmmmm....I like the clear lens part, so I would wnat to hold onto that, but you gave me a decent idea:

    My photoshops skills are, well...non-existant, but you get the idea

    There's an idea! How about changing the shape of the lense somewhat to fit the countour of the bumper a little better. I think ditching the curved bottom, making it flat and french in the lens seam would look good as well. All it would take is a little spot filler some skill with a razor and some tape. I'll try to photoshop something but mine are a little brutish as well

    Ik knew someone would say it. I like the blue to much. I'm probably going to keep it stock at this point. I can do the headlights and snake eyes later if I decide to

    I've had mine in all 3 combinations. I liked it with painted headlights and black snakes eyes, but to each their own. However, on your particular car, I Really like the black on black as it is in that original picture.

    I've been kicking this one around for a while as well, and I keep defaulting back to the stock color scheme, but as a problem-solver, rather than because I like it.

    Of the options presented here, I like the body-color snake-eyes the best, but that still doesn't get it.

    I used to really like the flip-ups, too; now I'm having a bit of difficulty remembering why, and it's all because of this.

    You guys know my opinion I personally think the black headlights/roof age the car too much. I still really don't understand the ES comments
