Ugh, I need to finish my car so bad.
This looks very familiar to what mine used to look like.

+1 to Round lights, because the grille gets continued into the headlight surroundings and doesn't instead of just ending at bulky bulbs. looks neater in my opinion :)

(but get matching surrounds to the grille :P as you have TX surrounds and a TD grille in the above photo. TD surrounds have the bottom inside corners to sit flush with the square/straight side of the grille, the headlight brackets are also different though!)

Yeah I know what you mean but every time I've looked for them there either way to expensive or I can't find them so I've giving up but I don't really mind anymore haha.
