Gunmetal vs. Black .. on black
on a black car, do you guys think gunmetal housing will give a great offset? or do you think black housing is the way to go?
edit: sorry if im asking in the wrong section, but i could actually use some advice :
should i get the headlights AND the altezza grill? , or just headlights .. what would look better .. thanks

the grill does come in black...but its not a complete match for the oem paint (thats how i prefer it)...you could get away with leaving it alone...
get the one off ebay for $24.00 from 'hcracing'...i bought that one and painted the lip of it oem ssm to match the rest of the car
those rims are nice...keep them and maybe look into the tyc projectors in silver to match the rims
**it really just depends on what 'scheme' your going for**

thanks for the reply FALKEN, i just have one more quick quick question for u guys ... RS Grill vs. the Altezza grill ? ... i like them both, but my car is already "FP" .. and id like to keep my "FP" badge on.... so i think it would be really ricey if i had RS FP yada yada, plus, isn't an RS a JDM Sedan... right?
edit: i guess im gunna stay with black housed OEM headlights ... personally i think they look better, but again thats just my opinion

Yup, black housing is the way to go. And yes, get the 'Altezza' grill.
Hey, do you guys think black housing headlights would match my EBP? I want to put the amber inserts if I get the black housing headlights, but think that it might not match very well with EBP. What do you guys think?

I like your rims. Those are the FP rims and they are gunmetal right? Anyways both gunmetal or black would look good. I think you should go with black tyc projectors and get the altezza grill.
oh yea btw i thought about gunmetal for the headlights but i decided on black cause i wanted only the rims to show different...but i think it would still look great to look different

yea i decided to order the black ones, i like the way yours looks .... i dunno if the gunmetal would have offset my rims nice anyway, technically my rims are a gunmetal, but more like a graphite gunmetal
