Default Factory or halos, red or black mirrors?

I've got a 2 part poll here. Both of which, I have been recommended one or the other for the last couple years. First part is, should I stick with chrome halos, or back to stock headlights?

Halos:





Factory:






Second part, should I stick with my black mirrors, or red mirrors?

Shitty pics with my point and shoot, here's red mirrors:

Hands down, factory head lights w/ red mirrors

The whole halo-headlight thing is way too much. We don't drive BMWs or Auto zone'd out Hondas. They don't even sit right with the lines of the hood to begin with.

Red mirrors just to match your car Black works, but it just doesn't match and you know its a cost cutting GM decision!

I like the red mirrors with the factory lights. The red halo looks cool. I know you don't like the new projectors. I think they will modernize the front end. There is a pic in my sig comparing the factory light and a projector side by side.

And I would kill for projectors also. I don't even think it's possible to make projectors flow very well in these cars

Just throwing the idea out there. Your car looks good regardless.

Whistler mod Red or Black, red mirrors. I think for the most part, when the mirrors are left black they look unfinished..there are a few examples out there that still pull it off

I voted factory with red mirrors, But I think your car would look great with the whistler mod done in black. Very nice car though either way you go. I need to get myself that hood.

This is perfection:





The ONLY improvement on this is if you paint the rims' spokes charcoal grey (leaving the lips chrome), do the Whistler mod but with charcoal grey instead of black and MAYBE some cowl side stripes that are charcoal grey maybe even with a chrome/silver outline...

Ha it's about time you responded! You were the first person I thought of when I did these red mirrors.

I've already done the whistler mod:



Which I only liked from certain angles. If I were to do it again, I'd do PCP style and I'd also get smoked corners:
