Hey Chaps!

As the title suggests... Yay or Nay?

Saw a video on Youtube of a bunch of Evo's with colour coded fog light bulbs as well, Might try and find an Extra White bulb :)

So yea, the options are:

1. White Rings
2. Chrome Rings
3. Black Standard Rings

Cheers peoples!

Haha knew someone was going to pick a colour not on the list :P.

I was thinking red but I don't know. I like the sound of white but would it be over kill?

what I mean lol is personally I think it will be too white and not shiny enough to look pretty lol ;D

Cause Marks not biased at all! ;) Look at it this way: get chrome ones, plastidip in white (always lightest color first) if you dont like that either peel off and respray or just spray over the top with red, see how that is, then can always try black if u dont like either of them and if you decide you like chrome best, peel off the plastidip back to chrome :D
no Erin not at all biased .... Now why would u think that lmao , ^ agreed plasti dip them then u can peel it off

A few members on here have done the white thing a few years ago but they had blue cars. Ryan-hoges and peter-kinesis. Maybe check out their mod thread or garage.
You could also Photoshop white foggies onto your car to get an idea.

Thats such a british thing to say..(my Dad says it!...:lol: ) Nah white and chrome are actually pretty similar. Like Ive got white bits where my chrome has come off on my chrome grill surround but you cant see it when you stand black, blends in. I think its because like displayed colours are just the absorption and reflection of different colours of the spectrum of light IE: You get white because its the reflection of all the those colours in the spectrum (hence why its not actually a colour and why black isnt either cause its the absorption of all the spectrum) and chrome reflects everything else too. My point is: I dont think you will see too dramatic a difference either way between chrome and white because of those properties. Like, you will be able to see if its chrome or white but I dont think it will look washed out because of the similar properties of the colours. Up to which you prefer is all.


Jesus Erin, I asked for an opinion, not a scientific explanation LMAO! You make me cry with laugher :P
