Question give me your 2 cents

how do you think this would look: red car, clear corner lights, clear halo projector head lights, clear tail lights, and a clear brake light?

Re: give me your 2 cents

are you going to have red or white underglow?

what other accents do you plan on putting on your car (calipers, interior, carbonfiber, wheels)

there are 3 -4 factory reds, which red is it?

do you have pictures?

as a theory it would look pretty good, but it is somewhat dependent on the shade of red

Eclipsed4utoo has one red style, so he should have some good pennies to throw at this.

Re: give me your 2 cents

I personally hate clear tail lights...something about them looks cheap to me. I think that Black or Carbon fiber TYC tails would look better...black and red look good, even with clear corners i think.

Re: give me your 2 cents

black, carbon fiber, or black w/silver ring tailights instead of clear/chrome. the rest would look pretty good

Re: give me your 2 cents

i personally think my Carbonfiber tyc taillights look somewhat ricey, i'm considering going back to stock or going for black, black and the 03 versions are the best looking imo

also, that would def. look good, considering all the reds match 3 dif. kinds of red would look odd

dude... 808drifter its not rice w/o the attitude, and considering what he's doing it'll prolly turn out pretty clean

Re: give me your 2 cents

Every part where you would go "clear", I'd go smoked/tinted/black...just differing tastes I guess.

Re: give me your 2 cents

My car is black, and I like how big our headlight assemblies are because my projectors are chrome housing, and they look SWEET. Its like, black, black, black, CHROME! Especially at night, the light reflects in the housing a lot more than if they were black.

Just a note - I HATE black rims. Gun metal, or satin black are OK (i want some gunmetals), but polished black to me looks like shit. It is just too much black (especially for a black car), there is no contrast between fender, tire, and rim. What really looks good is a gunmetal rim with a fat chrome or polished lip...thats hot.
