For the moment, I'm just test fitting and taking pics. But I really like the look! I also have a set of smoked Xpel headlight protectors. Just put one on and will post pics soon on another thread. But I didn't like the way the smoked looked because it hides everything under the Xpel. Clear will be the way to go. So, what about clear Xpel over the vinyl? I don't know if that would be an option or not, but it would produce a seamless headlight surface.

Love the headlights and I think it compliments the effect given off by the rear end design. Keep us posted.

One of the neatest features on the headlight lense is the C7 emblem that lights up (headlight beam is reflected up towards the emblem). Really neat in the dark. Your mod covers this unique feature up. No thanks. Like the sting ray graphic on the hood.
