Looks better from 3/4 than it does head on. Not too sure about the color match either...is it clear coated? Doesn't look like it...maybe its the lens cover. I would take those lens covers off and go completely retro...I think CDC did that way back when....2004 CDC red

yea...they are cleared....the lense alters the look of the buckets in the photo......in real life they match perfectly.

and those CDC headlights were custom 1 off buckets......they are completely different bucket than the stockers.....

The covers will throw most digital cameras off and not really capture what it looks like in person. I think it looks pretty good, put some Midwest auto gear mirror caps on ASAP!

I thought they were the stockers with Jaguar XJ sealed bulbs installed...

I think you should paint your grilles white....the black looks kinda funny with the blue stripes.

I actually had a hard time at first telling what was done, thats a good thing a seemless mod is a good one IMO makes people think it came factory like that. Looks good nice color combo [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Yeah, I have to agree. Having had the buckets on my car for a week or so now, I think that it does kinda throw it off a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the painted bucket look (and Roger did a good job), but it would flow more seemlessly If that part were white.

Looks good, looks old school. (overused term) I don't think it would work to well with my redfire though.
