I'm liking your side skirts more and more each picture I see, I really like how the door insert flows perfectly with the skirt.

Have you considered the chrome jdm lights?

I'm not a fan of the diffusor on the older headlights. I think it breaks up the flow of the front end of the car and makes the headlight look smaller. This is why I opted to go with no diffusor since the chrome turn signal area matches the high beam perfectly it extends the width of the lens and makes the front of the car appear wider.

I still vote hold out for clear 04's or do the clearing yourself. Since you have both sets I say swap and go for a week or two for a real feel of which you prefer.

'04 headlights =

If you do get them, please don't clear them out. I don't understand this fad of clearing out the orange. Orange compliments black very well. When you clear them out, the clear plastic is not only too much contrast, it makes the plastic look cheap. Reminds me of those clear plastic forks/spoons.


Of course this is just my opinion.

I voted for the MY04 headlights....the little bits of amber on the newer headlights aren't that bad, and definitely not as prominent as the 00-03 amber lens....

I also think the hints of amber would add a nice contrast to the front of your car....

hmmm... I think clear '04 lights would look nice.

Personally - I like the way the JDM style smoked diffusers look.

The thing I like is that visually IMO they make the headlights flow a little better (the smoked lens with the housing being pretty close in color)

I bet that look on black would be nice. But I'd go for a cleared '04+ set just for a change of pace
