Don't no one with darkened lights get pissed off, I'm not trying to offend.

It's just a pet peave of mine so maybe I'm over-sensitive (or old). I have yet to see one that looks good. Kinda like spinners...

If you said "I like to drive 65 in the fast lane and I won't move over for faster vehicles because I'm going the speed limit" then it would **** me off too.

I think they look ok!..I wouldn't do it myself though...If you like em, then go with them...IMO, I would only say its ok if the entire car is black, with blackout everything...I saw a badass 3rd Gen RX-7 lookin like this, and his license plate said Batman...I voted No..
