opps, meant to vote, leave it as it is. Looks fine. Maybe the blueoverlays.. but you'd be riskin a ticket.

I'd leave them unless you have something to compliment the black such as a carbon fiber hood or some balck wheels.

Yea bro, just leave it stock! Who modifies or personalizes their car anyway?


I say color match it. I never heard of anyone getting a ticket for this... cops won't even notice it probably since it's on the INSIDE of a headlight. Overlays are illegal, not this.

remember, being different is one thing. being fugly is another. (no offense, just my two cents)

while it's good to be different, being different isn't always a good thing.

Like this? Leave them alone. Maybe if you go with the black wheels.

Matte black, if your going to have a set up that compliments it well i.e black/gunmental wheels, CF hood.

Dont think CB housing would look too good just my 2cents
