Custom Headlights - work in progress

Doing a little customizing of some new headlights I got. Nothing too crazy, no retrofitting or anything. Just some painting/wrapping to start stuff off, maybe more work down the road. My buddy is doing pretty much all of the work b/c he does good work for G37's and wanted to play with some Evo lights. I took a chance and got a set off Ebay since a corner got chipped on my OEM projectors and it turned out that the quality was really good so I'm happy. Let me know what you guys think


This is what they looked like when I got them except that front most section was chrome for the blinker.





This is in order of what we have done so far, its pretty much all that will be done at this point unless we get some random ideas to change stuff up before I put them on.











Finally got around to finishing them up and installing along with a few more bits since I was dropping the bumper....ramped a deer carcass a few months back which messed up my lip and headlight...that's why I got these in the first place to play with....turned out pretty well I think..can't complain.




put in new horns too


and here is lip damage from said deer ramping lol two hours after putting on the lip smh

This is different from the one I saw on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evolution-X-EVO-10-LED-Projector-Black-Headlights-Tail-Lights-/231233391244?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item35d6958a8c#ht_15664wt_1312
I am curious how it looks on the car. Good work so far!
