Poll: Which color to paint my headlights

Juruki · 09-20-2011, 01:16 PM

So this weekend im painting my headlights and i cant decide which color to paint.
vote plz

This is how my car looks at the moment:

Also, should i leave the amber reflector or black it out? I havent seen that many blacked out headlights on a Mag Black

I plan on blacking out my headlights as well. Haven't laid out the final final design, but I'm looking at matte black, with red shrouds and blacking out the amber reflector. I hate that thing.

I voted matte black with oem shrouds. Mine are currently all matte black with CF reflector, it looks sick on the magnetic black.

Juruki · 09-20-2011, 02:54 PM

how did you get the CF reflector? did you wrap it?

bullitt5897 · 09-20-2011, 03:44 PM

I say do matte black and gold

or bronze and then some bronze wheels!!! SICKNESS!

Black and Bronze you say...

If you did that, what color would you say for the calipers... say a darker red? Or black?

Interesting idea considering those Work wheels with the black centers and bronze lips...

What's wrong with the stock ones?

Yes it is the CF wrap material.

Black with gunmetal shrouds

I'm curious to those who have done the blackout mod. Does it make the light a bit dimmer? I think the mod looks sick, but I really like how bright my normal lamps are also.

if you want to see glossy black with oem shouds take a look at my profile and go into my albums. I like the look but at times wish I would have gone all black as well. either way it looks much better than stock. and it does not dim the light in any way that I can tell.

CF wrap = you can't really see it... lol.. it just looks.. black! unless you look at it up close..
