The chrome housing doesnt look like a cheap knock off, your just used to seeing the black housing. On my ride Id go with chrome cause it would look better with white accents like the wheels. And matches the chrome emblems better.

They look like accords regardless. Someone said they brought pics of a JDM teg to their work of non jdm enthusiast. They told him the USDM lights looked better cause "why would you want it to look like an accord anyway." And those were blackhousing lights, not even chrome.

I just see black housing too much. Im not a huge fan of that silver teg with chrome housing. But the purple one looks sick.

Im assuming you have a dc2 or 4 but not an itr. Id say leave the ITR wing on. I love those wings. I love wings on the teg period. I agree though the LS (for lack of better name known to me) spoiler looks gross on a JDM teg, but I love it on a stock ls. But the ITR wing looks hot no matter what.

You can't make anything out with chrome headlights (inside the headlights).
