Angel eyes Black Vs Chrome?

SAMARAI · by **SAMARAI** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 2:27 pm

Hey guys, looking for your opinion. Im very keen to order a set of Angel eyes for my cali.
Black or Chrome backing is the question. What's the better less cheap one in your opinion?

Im thinking black backing for a few reasons.
1. To be different to most other cars/calibras on the roads. (Im worried the chrome look will look too "factory standard" like other cars on the roads).
2. So the Angel eyes stand out more.
3. During the day, black backing even without halos on would look meaner.
4. Black backing would keep with my black and white, two toning. (Tint, Future black roof, black door and bumper trim etc)

But guys, will I regret it down the track thinking, the "Original Calibra" look is gone with black backing? I almost think Chrome would sit a little more discretely?
I guess there is no going back with Angel eye headlights and I also think Chrome backing would look fake and cheap?

What's your thoughts? (Below is the set I'm contemplating. Been the best valued price I've been able to find.. and thankfully best description on them too)

Black but don 't be surprised if the Angel Eyes on those units aren't very bright

I'm thinking black too guys. And yeah from what I've read I hear they aren't too bright. But I'm not too worried. Its mostly the black backing and front fog I'm keen for. The angel eye rings are just a bonus!
