I have a 96 EX that I'm trying to keep clean looking. No bodykit. Just lip kit, cleared headlights, red/white tails, white rims, all that. Should I paint my headlight housing? Some people have suggested black. I think I might just cuz my headlights each have a crack in them form over heating (very small), so I'm eventually gonna get new cleared ones, so if I don't like it, I'll just get new ones. What do you guys think?

Just a side note: I'm kinda trying to model J. Fuggi's car, except mine is a 6th gen, vs his being a 5th gen. I love how clean his car is.

just bake ur old lights and paint the housing black, put an amber bulb for turning signal, they look pretty sweet
i personally wont go for white rims on a white car...........get some 99-00 SIR rims, or teg type r rims (u can get similar ones with 4 lugs, or u can do a 5 lugs but they're pretty pricy for the conversion). if u got some extra cash, powdercoat them.

i used to not like white on white, but i've seen it on a couple cars now, and my tastes are more refined (no more altezza's!), and it looks frickin' sweet. me doing it. thanks for your opinion though.
