What do you think of the blacked out headlight trend?

I was just wonderin what you thought of the biggest trend right now... blacke out headlights? It seems as if they are even bigger that the euro tailights trend. Now that cars are coming stock with them.

What are your views on them?

Still some people put that dark tint or whatever cheap stuff that sticks on it and prevents light from shining in an outwardly fashion.

jttegx has a spectacular aura aboutjttegx has a spectacular aura about
its true how cars are comming out with this "black housing" headlamps giving it that agressive/sporty look. i think it looks nice and its a free job, but everyone is doing it and im more of those people who want to stand out and be more "unique" with the **** i do to my car.


but the funniest **** i ever heard about blacked out headlights was some fool calling them "rice". and that fool posted on the boards here..

i dunno about u guys but i have to say i dont see very many blacked housing headlights on 7th gens...seeing as many 7th gen civics i see out there i only see a few which are black out...around where i live 04's with blacked housing dont exist...i'll be the first in the neighborhood to do so...so i dont think its mainstream yet...but it is getting more and more popular cuz IMO it makes it look better and more aggressive

I think sedans and 04+ civics have hard sealant, whereas 01-03 coupes have a goopier, not so hard sealant.
