It really does look good, I think its actually part of the headlight when I look. If I believe it is, then other people won't know its a sticker. I just need to redo part of it, only because I'm a noob.

Haha, I think I could've done a better job myself, but I was impatient and somewhat rushed it. However, even a newb job, it still looks really good. Can't tell at all unless you're right up on it.

this was a shitty quick job

:l

not proud of it but it is wha it is

original headlight...

Custom Euro Overlay-ori.jpg

with larger sticker idea made from high res image so it

Custom Euro Overlay-ab.jpg

what it may look with clear bulbs

Custom Euro Overlay-bw.jpg

very rough cut out of the larger sticker going pass just the amber corner and extending to the turnsignals

notice how it fades from the turn signals to the amber corners... clear to opaque

Custom Euro Overlay-cor.jpg

...im sure real world applications wont look this way

but some experimenting can produce similar results

Hmmm that concept looks good, but probably wont look too nice because the corner will probably wash out the lines you are trying to show on the sticker.

If you get a prototype going, show us!

:l

http://digart.img.digart.pl/data/img/vol0/...oad/2382606.jpg

at the corners it wouldnt be see through at all

like i said i wont be testing this

just an idea for him to explore if he ever wanted to offer a more realistic (higher priced) sticker



and with this new overlay thing he has going it would look killer

Not bad G. I'll see what I can cook up when I get more time on my hands. I do know this though, it'll take some work to get it right.
