Changed back to stock headlights with smoke covers..need opinions! (56K h3ll)
well, im a noob with the wrench but i'd say everything went quite well with the switchout job...took me about 2 hours total...
took off the bumper...
bumper with smoked corners...
smoked corners on bottom, oem corners painted with darkened clearcoat on top...
bumper with painted oem corners installed...
new bulbs to install...
older p.o.s. projector headlights off...
oem headlights will all new bulbs installed...
gts smoked covers installed with grille emblem still in place (had to clip off the tab flange so they would fit under my radiator extension covers)
no grille emblem...
what do you guys think about the look?
should I or should i not use a grille emblem?

Good job Mike!
You can stay without the grille emblem, it suits the black out scheme now IMO.
I run one on mine because of the retro appeal I went after...
It's not a must have on your car though.
Or you could get a different emblem all together, if you must have one.

Looks really good man. Leave the emblem off. I think that maybe deleting the fog lights and doing a blackout grille would really enhance the look of your car. The fogs kinda throw the smoothness off a bit with them being standard clear. Just a thought, but it looks awesome right now. Heck, I have the Roush black billet grille that comes on some of their special edition cars that I don't use anymore.
