What Should I Do With My High Beams?

Here's a pic from a while back. Ive touched up, fixed and finished it since then.
Notice how I blacked out the high beams so that they'd match the headlights, ya, no more reflection.
I really like this but the fact that I know somethings missing is driving me nuts. It also reminds me of Uma Thurman, like its eyes are way too far apart.
Why? As soon as I'm finished replacing all my bushings I'm gonna get a set of ebay headlights and high beams for the clear lenses.

The retrofit was pretty hard cause I had nothing to go off of and had to figure it out myself, and I refused to pay $50 for the projector adapters. It was a lot of trial and error and changing my mind on how I wanted it to look. And to be honest I still can't stand the way it turned out but I've recently decided I want some different projectors so I'll be taking another whack at it later this year.
I never did like the little grills on the 97+ either. The little grill instert was cracked and broken when I got it so I put black aluminum mesh in instead. Its hard to see in the pic but it looks badass in person

yea definitely post pics when you get home of close ups of the grill.... as for what to do with your fogs. id say leave them as is. maybe retrofit something else for the hell of it or aesthetics. ccfl rings are lame and its already looking great. this is actually one of my favorite front ends so far...and the paint looks to be in pretty awesome shape aswell

I'm really startin to like the idea of putting projectors in the high beams with some 3000k hids and just using them when the weather's bad. Its really hard to see when its snows with my 5000k headlights.
As for my fog lights, I have a set of Blazer fog projectors ready and waiting to be retrofitted once I find some oem 97+ fogs. But I refuse to pay more than $20 for a pair since I know I can get them for $15 at a self service junk yard, its just a matter of patience. Same goes for the 97+ tails that I'm also on the hunt for.

If I could find some I would. I don't even need the lenses, all I need is the housings to use as mounting brackets.
