It doesn't look good on Evos. I've seen a few pics around here. I saw a rally red evo with color matched headlight housing. It didnt look good at all.

Looks good on g35, 350z, but not on an Evo. I think colormatched are more for luxury sports car, not raw track cars look that the Evo has.

I saw a red, white, and blue evo with color matched headlights. It's not very pretty. You can do a search for evodave and you can see the pics.

Personally, I rather keep it chrome then color match it.

Color matched is a no go. White on white = mike @ ets ..awesome guy, but the lights are not a go.




BLUE(another failure):


RED(yup, another failure):

...red looks like it has rabies.

I actually believe that is Tom's car. He recently left ETS. Mike took his position

I dont think that this looks too bad:






I think that on Electric blue it looks much better than on the other colors including BBY.
