Default More agressive front end

I was thinking about how the insight front end looks. I thought about how some people buy those aftermarked eyelids for thier cars to make it look more agressive, but them some people blend them into the body panels using body filler for a more factory look.

I did some photoshops, I wanted opinions, should I try the agressive look, or stick with the original. It reminds me more of an acura with the agressive headlights.

Will also affect headlight beams so probably illegal.

I quite like it, but it would block too much light out

That looks good on a dark car, but on my silver car, or on a yellow car it would look like two black eyes.

How did you paint the inside of the headlight module? Can this module be disassembled? I may need to remove or replace the amber lens in the side-facing parking light so that it will meet the white EU standard. Would this be possible?

I was just looking at this look today on a new Fit that was white. It looked pretty awesome.
