I like both looks quite a bit, but if you are going for cleaner, then you succeeded with the after. Nice work...

Wow Steven your car looks sick! Yeah I think unsmoking the headlights was a good idea, I had my headlights smoked before and decided to unsmoke them a few months ago and now it looks much better
