As you can see, the headlights fit like ass. They'll be replaced with carbon fiber headlight blanks this winter.

I voted "other". Get them black but then wrap them with graphics of actual headlights.

Cleetus just did this on Mullet when he did the carbon front clip. Looks awesome. Very "finished" look.

That's a good idea.

i was also thinking this, red might work too...but the snake needs "eyes" imo
I had the yellow tint on still after I painted...it really yellowed out the gray.

I thought about red, but I'm not sure I'd like that.

I think black...and then decals might be the ticket. Or maybe just leave them carbon?

you won‘t see me knocking on CF, but with a track car I’d likely be less subtle with my colors…I’m pretty boring on the street(white car, silver truck lol)

plus, my kid loves snakes and I’ll be happy as ever if she continues to love cars like my dad and i…she’d totally make me turn those into actual snake eyes lol

Vipers have always pulled off the yellow headlights well, but don't know how that would pull off with blanks.

That's where we'll start.

I think my plan is...

1.) See what the bare carbon looks like.
2.) Paint them black.
3.) Decals.

That should give me the best idea of what looks the best.
