Does it effect the beams at all? The parking lights might look funny as well.
Other than that the lines look pretty good.

no the beams come out bright as hell and when i have the parking lights on you can still see them in the corners and i think it makes it look evil and aggressive as ****. So I'm gonna try to get the Vinyl this week and take care of this job, once its done and i have the template made ill post instructions and as well as sell the design if anyone is interested.

^Probably just water spots.

To the OP, I think it looks good, but maybe it should be a little less thick where it turns?

I'd be psyched if my paint looked like that. My paint chips (only on the hood) are not mistakeable for water spots.

Good job with the custom retrofit. I don't like them because they cover too much of the light imo but then again as long as you like it, that's all that matters. Thanks for the DYI
