it looks awesome from far away. Up close..not so much.
rest of my pics can be found here:

granted, it could of just been the installer but its not only a PITA to install, its a PITA to find someone to do it also!
the alignment is off and i see it on a lot of ppls overlays. the circles that are cut out dont exactly fit over the headlight (it covers slight portions) and it irritates me. As with many of you on this site, we're all perfectionists when it comes to our cars and I thought at first i'd be fine but yeah..got annoying. I get what you're saying about having no definition, i'll have to ask my shop about that.
So far I have a vote for black chrome and one for matte. anyone else want to chime in?

I just studies your pics from your other thread, to me it looks like a postioning isue. Look at this pic from my gallery. My installer here in San Diego's done a ton of these. See how everything lines up? The key is to set the cuts first, then work outward to the edges, thats how we do it.
