looks good... i've done the same to my TJ advance, but i bought the head light covers that already had then done... cost $55 from K -mart...
still definately looks better than stock headlights

Plus the fact youve just dulled your front night vision.. lol

Cheers... doesnt look bad, but I've never been a huge fan of headlight protectors...
Must admit though, it add's character to your car.
Good work.

thanks res,
i was careful as i didnt want to obstruct the nightvision as well as have the cops pull me over and hassle me, may or may not be legal, but until im told otherwise - im gonna run with them for a while anyway. cheers

Sorry Dude I'm with 4PLEAZN in this one.
I can see the Verada / Diamante look you are going for, but as is often the case you really have to get the original parts otherwise it comes off looking cheap.
For example: Someone likes the wheels on your Magna (which are 17 or 18")...thinks that looks great i'll get them for my Magna, then goes out and buys 14 or 15" mags....sure they have mags but they've missed the point. :roll:
When I was younger I painted the whole back of my Headlight protectors Black which I thought looked cool....I had to take them off everynight :lol:

thanks for your input guys - honesty is a wonderful thing.
funnily enough i wasnt really looking for the diamante look, sort of happened that way (see your point tho PSI_GTS11)
good thing is if i get sick of them, i just take them off - easy
cheers :p

stuff pulling punches. you asked what we think. i reckon it looks sh*t. sorry mate. it looks like youve done a really good proffesional job but the final look is a shocker! but again in the end its your choice. if you like them then congrats. all the best.

Do I like them ? - it doesn't matter - Do YOU ?
If you do - stick with them - if you get sick of them, simply take em off.

the whole purpose of this "modding" section is for feedback from other forum users, be it good or bad - im just here to share some ideas ( however useful ) and get some ideas, and at the same time get to know other like-minded magna enthusiasts. :)
