its clean, and i like how you painted everything, esp the chrome for the lows. but gotta zing ya on the temp choice and the hyper-rice high-beams. its a personaly preferance, but anything over 5K in OEM HID projectors is just wrong .02. i woulda of course done an led retro too... so all is custom.. LOL
