Need your opinion....

I've been thinking of doing my front headlights on my 98 civic in a black housing. I've seen it on some cars and it looks very sweet (like on Buddah's ride), but i've seen it on other colored cars and it doesn't seem to give the same look.

My car is red and I have yet to see it on a red car... How does it look??

Thanks

Why do you want to go back to stock? Did you get sick of the look?

Aaron is exactly right... when I see more than ME with a certain mod, I bail out... till I get another idea My black housings I've had for like 3 years, and they were cleared out before that for 2 years. So since the car was new, the lights were modded, and never once had a problem with them.

B,

Let me think about as to wether or not I want to make that mod, and if I do, I will trade my stock with ya. And yes they are mint, without any scratches, chips or cracks.

Even nicer is red/clear tails on a red car... *drool* or all red rails, with a clearcoat on them.

Actually my cars silver and it's got red/clears and I just wanna spank that *** every time I see it

red clear looks sweet, but I love my altezza's... they just look right on my car. I know almost everybody out there finds them cheesy, but I love em and that's what counts... it just sucks that they are basically available for all makes and models.

Black housing with projector lights looks ultra cool
on a red car, but that's just my opinion...
