Agreed. That looks pretty sick. However, it may need the body kit to back it up. I’m gonna take a stock body Kouki and tint the headlights up on photoshop. ---

Why mess with something that’s already so good? Stock is best IMO… But if you’re really intent on doing it, Gavin, look into overlays instead of painting. You can remove the overlays if you don’t like the look of it. ---

Anybody look into that, or is the only way to go kouki? Euro glass headlights for sure. Some aftermarket companies make clear covers as well (circuit sports, Final Konnexion, ect. ). Or just rip em apart and paint the housings yourself. ---
