The idea might not be bad but your painted looks like it's been painted by a 3 years old guy, and the headlights are red, yeah but you didn't even cover the grey parts well so you have red halos everywhere..

Sorry but i would buy a new hood and a new set of headlights.. or a civic.

Seriously, how can you like the crap i circled in gay blue?

It really looks riced out so don't hate on us just because you did some job in an ugly way and didn't receive the good comments you were looking for. Good comments are due for a good job and yours looks just like you spray painted your hood and headlights without even taking care to mask the circled parts of said headlights.
Chill out, buy another set of headlights and learn from your mistakes instead of insulting us for not liking that stuff

The first picture is just shadows, shakeyourbrakes is walking me thru how to restore the front headlight cover cuz it got all scratched up by my wife (she decided to clean th eglue from the blackout tint off of them with a brillo pad) One the headlight covers are clear again ill take more pics, they look GREAT in person, the pictures are doing them injustice. As for the emblem, i took the pictures before the glue fully dried, ill take more pictures later. Seriously guys, cut out the flaming, if you dont like them, simply dont post.

Ok

So heres after i cleaned up the headlights and such, maybe your viewpoint will change a little after seeing better pictures. Be honest.

It's all in these little details: VR Painted HID Headlights!-img_1460.jpg
Plus, did you use VR paint? it doesn't look mica from the pics.
Good ideas may really end up looking "riced up" if executed with approximation.
I hope that you'll interpret this as a suggestion to continue through your path with a bit more care about the details, this could be a very cool mod!
Oh, also the small light painted red is not of my taste

Yes, it is Tri-coat Velocity Red Mica, and as i said, the pictures dont interpret how they actually look, i went out and looked it over at those spots, and its just the picture there is nothing wrong with them. As for the little light, its not painted red, its clear, just the inside is painted red, it would have looked goofy had i left it white. The little spots on the right that you circled are painted correctly, look at the original.VR Painted HID Headlights!-img_14062.jpg

Guys, you don't have to like what he did, but don't be a dick about it. There are several people in here that are about 1 post away from time outs.

Eeehhh I don't know maybe it does look better in person...

those are the same Carbon Eyelids I have... maybe the painted lights would look better without the eyelids..
