i like the all black but the black out cover just doesn't seem to match your car enough for me so no cover plus the cover sorta look blueish to me

the only reason i have blackouts is because my grids were separating and i didn't want to pay $225 for Honeycombs. if i had them, id leave them alone. but i would get honeycomb decals for the reverse lights
