Black Projectors & Altezzas Vs. White Projectors & Altezzas

Post by Sisko182 »

I keep finding myself debating what would look better on my car. Black or white/clear projectors and altezzas. One day I'll prefer black, the next I'll prefer white/clear, then I'll prefer black headlights, white tail lights, and on, and on, and on.

What do you think would look better on my MX3?

While we're at it, if you have either projectors or altezzas, which "color" do you have?

I used to be a fan of the 'chrome' taillights but after you see so many beat up 91 Accord sedans with them it's kinda played out. Another vote for the black or smoke/ 'carbon'.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable!

Vertical, despite the majority of members on here recommending horizontal? How come you chose vertical?
