idk if its the reflections or what, but where the grill meets the headlights and the front bumper something looks weird

Just the reflections ginger. The grille curves back towards the headlights, giving the reflection of the end caps.
i have not been hanging out with greg, unless the wheels i got from greg last night were soaked in booze and i got a contact buzz?
Quick update. Finally got the headlights cleared and wish I had done it sooner. I still need to clean it up for a mini shoot soon.
Still can't decide if I want to go on and put the drop on or wait until spring. Also trying to find some used at's for winter.

Unedited and unfiltered.
Heads got water in them when I cleaned it up, so I guess I'll have to pull them apart again. Just gotta find the time to do them right.

Thanks man. I'm just glad I'm getting motivated to get stuff done now. Was starting to loose interest with all the bad luck I've had with it so far, but I'm more motivated now than ever since its actually custom now.
^ Thanks
I picked up some used bridgestone dueler a/t rh-s over the weekend and got them mounted up yesterday after work. A bit more road noise that my nexen rodian h/t, but that was expected.
Also got resistors in for the turns and got them installed.
I'm pretty sure that is the last thing happening until spring rolls back around. Weather turned nasty here quick, limiting what can be done.
When spring and tax time rolls around, this is what I plan on doing.
-install drop
-muffler (dynomax or magnaflow)
-airaid MIT
-remove step bars (undecided)
Anything else I'm missing?

Got some beltech sp shocks on black Friday to go with the drop. Had some free time today and decided to go on and throw them on.
Took a quick drive after getting them on and the ride is a bit better now. Took it over a bridge that has a pretty good bump and they handled it considerably better.
I think the next time I get a chance to, I'll go on and throw the shackles on and set them at 1" until I can get the new struts installed.

Update - drop will be going on much sooner than expected. Got a surprise Christmas bonus at work and I'm going to use some of it to get the drop on.
On that note, tire discounters are fucking crazy. They quoted me $402 to install the struts and align it.

I was having too much trouble with the led bulbs that I got for turns, so I ordered some chrome bulbs to replace them. Fairly pleased with how well they blend in.
So I've been doing a lot of thinking about the drop lately, and I keep going back to the thought of bringing it back up to a leveled stance. I really liked the look it had when it was leveled and I think the new hd front would work well with it.
So what do you guys think, should I drop it like originally planned, or level it back out again?
Leveled
2/3 drop
