Not a fan. Although it might look sick on a black car.
In my opinion, adding black to a white car starts you on a slippery slope. One black accent can look out of place and then you find yourself adding more to keep a balanced look. Next thing you know, you're blacking out everything. This is fine if that's the look you're going for, but just know that once you start....

I'm having this dilemma with my headlights. I really want to do the housings black, but I'm afraid they'll look out of place with nothing else on the car black.

I thought there was a red Z floating around that had Venaci really big on the side that had this done in vinyl.

I agree with you Luna.... although, what do you think of the gloss black roof? There's a few cars of which I saw, and I think it looked decent. Gave the "flow" between roof and rear.

But yeah, the key is tasteful accents.... not going ape$h*t on it.

As for your headlights, I like em stock... althought every now and then I find myself looking at the white painted headlight interiors.... looks decent in some cases.

it looks okay from the side but how the a-pillar joins at the hood just looks out of place.

So is any other visual mod technically lol
I agree with what kenchan said as well. That little snippet at the bottom is out of place. With a black roof and A-pillars it would look good i think. Sort of like the new Scion tC

Only if the window's were totally blacked out.

Eh... I like the color.

It reminds me of the S2000... Normally from Honda they are painted but then they cover it with a black film.
