Not to be an *** but anyone knows that black housing looks better than the gay stocky clears, but I think you just want to show off pics of your car.

CTR. Some black housing looks nice, but from what I've personally seen up close, nothing beats OEM CTR.

The black looks good but a little cheesy IMO.

I'd only put factory or CTR on my Si.
