Yeah, I'm in high school and I work part time. I would be able to pay him like $50 or $75 more (basically the money to ship it there and back) but I can't pay alot. I'm working on a pretty tight budget. If we got three of us to pay him like $75 more I don't know if that would make him any more interested as it would take up a weekend

Back on headlights, I completely forgot about the turn signal part of the headlights. Any suggestions on that? On the picture of the painted ones I noticed he has it painted over with an LED strip on it. Would it blend in with the housing if that was painted glossy black too, or would you be able to see the difference?

Being that the turn single shroud is clear. I don't think you would be able to tell much of a difference. My lights are black but I left the turn signal part clear and it looks fine

So did you just straight up pair over the turn lights? Looks very clean, that's the look I was going for. Except with the red projector shrouds to match my car.

//edit: Funny you mentioned the grill, earlier today I was thinking about sending the grill with it so you can match the paint as I'm going to end up painting it glossy eventually. Also, would you paint the front emblem red?

Alright, I think I've got my order pretty much compiled. Thanks for answering all my questions guys (expecially you over pm Bref) really helped me.

So here's my order so far if anyone wants to give some feedback:

Headlights:
Gloss black housings
OEM red shrouds
OEM red over amber strip

Extra:
Gloss black grill
OEM red front emblem

Still debating whether I should paint the amber strip red after that last pic...
Need to use my car this Friday so probably gonna ship them on Monday, so I've got then to decide
