You are so close...!!

Keep up the good work.

When I chose to do the lights it was because I like to keep a simple theme to the car. Almost every accent on the car is red and black, so the headlights were changed to match it. I don't think the OEM look would have blended as well - while contrast is a good thing sometimes (hence why I'm looking for new paint ideas), I don't think I want the headlights to be the only piece of silver on the front.

I don't want to do a proper drop, I have a 4x4, duhhhhhh

To explain - The roads around my house are HORRIBLE. I'm surrounded by railroad tracks, and they're all gouged out and terrible to drive over. Hence, I keep my drop fairly conservative just to be safe. If they ever clean up the roads I'd drop the car a little more, no problem. But for now, I'm comfortable where it is.
