Default Should I Get Halo's?

What do you all think? They look great on everyone's car, but I cannot decide how they would look on mine:

i think it looks good like it is but the diamond clear ones would look good if I had to chose. But u have blackouts on the taillights - I would go with the black ones. BTW -Like how u painted the calipers!

You can do one of two things.
1. Do Halo's chrome, then get clear diamond corners http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/camclearcorl.html
2. Do Halo's dark, dark out the corners
Either way will look awesome!!!

If it matters on your opinions, I sold all the carbon fiber covers, front and back, so the car back would not have any covers at all...

I wouldn't touch your headlights. I have the black halos on my white SS and am very happy with them but I think, for your color, stick with the stockers.

I have black halos but with your color scheme and if there are no blackouts anywhere else I would say go with halo chrome. Then go ahead and finish off the look with clear corners and possibly even sidemarkers. I like the Xenon rockers but am not a big fan of the gaping hole in the front chin spoiler. Clean looking though, nice job!

I have a black and tan interior setting here for install, so I have the "dark" theme, carbon fiber rear fill letters, cf nose badge, so the dark would make sense. I also have silver wheels, silver grille, and silver RAM AIR letters on the hood. Cannot make up my mind

They are cool but they dont go with the lines and shape of the hood. I'd just replace the bulbs with super whites or whatever

i like your car man but if i was you i would get bigger rims for it with fatter tires on it ....cuz of the ground effects make the wheels look small oh and you should go with the chrome halo's with clear corners

Right now, I have Sylvania (sp?) bulbs. The wheels are 18x9.5's on the rear w/ 285/35 and the fronts are 17x8.5's w/ 255/50's I believe. I have thought about 18 in the front. I need to lower it, but am worried about ground clearance...

I cannot decide I think the black would stand out more, but the chrome w/ diamond clear corners and side markers would look good also.
