What I meant to suggest with regards to having less "tube-ness", was to simply blend the transition more.
Suppose you didn't change the position of your lights in the mockup you've already got one bit, but just added some more clay/filler on top of where the "tube" begins so that there was a smooth, more organic-shaped transition. In my opinion, that would be better in keeping with the styling of these beautifully curve cars.

maybe a higher end look? less cheap? and no C6 comparison, only ferrari comparison, which I prefer.

FYI-The only reason why I would hesitate is because I put a lot of time and $$ to get my lights where I want them to be.

Dan, I think you can go either way and have a hit especially with the quality of lights you are going to use. I personally like the Ferarri look that you have posted and think you could blend the model you have with a bit of the Ferarri "curviness" above the two main lights and call it a day.
That would look killer.

Im not feelin the ferrari design myself, it feels like there is too narrow. the actual ferrari lights look like they are the same height but like twice as wide. also the curve from the lower inside to the upper outside corner on the ferrari is a lot less drastic.
I think that because the C6 look allows for individual lights to better contour to the curve, where the ferrari look the high and low beam are "tied" together and are level and dot follow the curve well.
mow again those are my feelings...
what do you think?

it took me 1/2 of airforce one followed by angels and demons (enjoyed both movies, hadn't seen angels and demons before, i recommend it.
it is based off of all 2-D pics from different angles, and i haven't seen it in person but i feel its fairly accurate

does that sound ok? it would offer people again more customization options.
i dont want it to seem like a cop out so the more opinions the better.

See in the Ferrari design how the curve above the primary lights wraps around to create kind of a tube in itself? I think you could have that effect in yours versus the flatness of your mock up. Add something like this to the C6 design and I think it would look pretty cool.

There is too much empty space above the two primary lights in that design. I would pull the curve above your headlights much further back into the "blank" space and then run the "tubes" back into that.
