Started working on new headlights!!

Had the weekend off, but couldn't really do anything cause of the storm. So i decided i would try making some new lights lol...this was my 2nd time using fiberglass btw so dont hate too much!




This is as far as is could get, Ran out of sandpaper!
Still have to trim the back of the circles and make them a bit more round!

The projectors are out of a 350z...To be honest this is the first time ive ever tried anyting like this (especially making the shroud)...so I was pretty scared once I started taking things apart, But I think its coming out nice! Tonight im going to try and finish up at least one of the shrouds!

So, what do you want us to comment on in the above pic?

Do we like the halo eyes that only go around 3/4's?
Do we like the low beam's in the middle?

Looks pretty good to me, not a fan of the halo eyes tho. I tend to think they are "ricey" when they aren't on a BMW. Again, this is just my opinion, mainly because of their widespread use on rice'd out honda's.
