Should I shave them? Opinions and or suggestions?

I hope Phushizzle and Tony don't mind me stealing their photos.

EWW don't do it! Well its not that it looks nasty, it just looks weird since I am so used to seeing the high beams. I don't think our headlights are big enough to justify shaving off the high beams. it needs to be there just to fill up the akwardness.

I think it looks "clean" shaved, but you should try shaving the little grill too (Pre-97 style) if you're gonna shave the high beams.
Maybe throw an emblem/griffin on there as another option?
I dunno... The High beams kind of set it apart as a Lexus... Go with your gut instinct!

With them shaved, takes the Lexus look away, gives it more of a Honda look.

I say no, i just don't think it flows as well without them..


i thought about doing this on my old integra since it had seperate inner high beams as well.. i think the SC definetly needs them though..


if you do it, it'd be cool to do a bi-xneon hid retrofit to your headlights so you can keep high beems and not need the high beam housings.

i think the awkwardness comes from the gap between the grill and the headlights. what if you put a bigger grill? if you shave off the grill, then itll look really shut out and that wont be good i think :X
