Question Altezzas and Projector headlamps

Hey everyone, just had a quick question. I'm thinking about getting some Altezzas and projector headlamps and I've narrowed it down a bit and wanted everyone's opinion as to which one's I should get (my car is a '03 black LX coupe). Alright, first the Altezzas:

Either these,


these,


or these,


Now the projectors:

Either these,


or these,


or if anyone has a better suggestion, feel free to post it.

Just in my opinion, i wouldnt get the tails cuz a lot of tricked out cars have em and it's kinda riced out. I'd only get the black TYC Projector headlamps, but then again i like to save my money and buy bigger things like rims, full suspension, or maybe an engine swap. just IMO though... TYC projectors.

I'll sell/trade you my Racerwheel w/ Halo Altezza for your OEM tails. As for the projectors... I had a set and didn't like them... Went back to the stock and just did the amber insert removel DIY.

Carbon Fiber altezzas if anything. IMO the chrome look ghey on a black car. PM Civic2k2, he used to have a set for sale, might still have them too.

get the TYCs and seal them up with sealant; leave the stock tailights on.

There are a few problems with the halo projectors: the halos will burn out eventually. Also, the running lights don't fit the sockets of the projector housing, but any intermediate DIY'er can solve this.

IMO, the black Halo Projectors look the best. But if you're worried about small things like legality, just go and buy the TYCs.

my opinion:
taillights = leave them stock or buy stock 04s
headlights = stock housing painted black with amber piece/relfector back in
