Pic Request: Type R Yellow EK's w/ DIY Black Housing Headlights.....

Hey sorry for posting this here... I know it probably belongs in the appearance forum but my trial h-t membership wont let me post anything in there.

I just needed the pictures because I'm thinking if I should paint my car this spring in Type R Yellow. But I dont know if the DIY black housing headlights would clash with the yellow.

Right now my car is black and I was thinking if I should get a single stage paintjob and save a lot of money and then color sand it after a few months to bring out a more crisp look? Let me know what you guys think.

Oh yeah, and i was also wondering if you guys think it would be gay if I left my door jams/engine bay black. I was thinking it'd be kinda cool, plus save a little money. But then on the other hand I didn't wanna look like a bumble bee when I open the door.

thanks

It depends on what color you use for the DIY lights... you could use the "smoke" paint and it will still look like type r headlights but the black wouldn't look to bad... If you have the money i'de paint the door jams and everything.... It just looks like a complete paint job not a half a$$ one...

paying $250+ for some JDM lights opposed to spending $10 to paint the housings is SUCH a better idea

here's mine with CTR headlights, its a coupe but you get the idea...looks way better than DIY IMO. save up if you dont have the money now, it will be worth it in the long run.
