I dunno I'm kind of on the fence about it. I would like to paint them, but I'm worried that if I do it myself, they're gonna look like **** when the paint starts to chip off (because you know it will) and then it will turn into a can of worms that I'm going to have to fight with the rest of the time I own the car. I also sort of like the way they look against the silver. Anyone else have any thoughts?


EDIT: Also, after staring at that pic you photoshopped, I feel like blacking out those grille dividers makes the car look wider, which is sweet lol

 

Is it just me or the Depo E-codes looks just like a facelift projector headlight but with a clear corner mod?

 

I bought my ecodes with HID preinstalled from eurosport garage, I was satisfied to say the least. Would buy from them again.

 

E-codes are the european version of the facelift headlights which Depo made a copy of.. So yes it does look like a clear cornered facelift headlight. They also have city lights and a cover over the turn signal bulbs and a different beam pattern.


I got mine from them without HIDs preinstalled, they are a good company with good prices.

I just think the textured lowers look cleaner most of the time. Have you ever thought of painting/vinyling your roof and/or mirror caps black? When are you getting loww?

And another question, did you put city lights in? I've been having weird problems with my led ones and I'd ask if you've experienced the same things..

 

Yeah those pics settle it. They're not getting painted. It'd be tough to get them to look right anyway. I'm going to fix the driver's side lower and be done with it.

Re: the black roof/mirrors, I have thought about it but I like the mirrors being the same color as the body, and was never a big fan of the black roof. I feel like once I did it, I'd regret it.

Re: the city lights. Didn't put them in. I just left the little holes empty, I don't even notice them. I thought about putting some odd-colored bulbs in there just for sh*ts and giggles, but I had heard that a lot of people have trouble making them work right so I just scrapped the idea.
