Need Opinions

Alright guys, so i need some advice and opinions.

Im not really sure about the direction i want to take my CL soooooooo i did some quick chops. So far i know i want Black, not really sure where lol but i want some black on the car.

Here is what i have:

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5


Keep in mind that sometime in the near future i am going to be buying some wheels. Most likely mesh in either black, grey, or gunmetal.

So with that, i need opinions. Whether it be which one you like, dont like or i need to change/add something, go a completely different direction.......

I vote on your 1st pic.And those smoked amber lenses are hot.Are those real or chopped also.There making me want to split my lamps again. Most I would do is some legal tint on the front,sit it a little lower,and maybe some big black tips out the back.And your cl would look perfect.Looks sweet in all pics thou.

No.1 if I had to pick something from the list...

Feeling a different direction though...and maybe that has to do with the current wheels.

ditto ---

dont paint your wheels, cuz in the end all they will be is just stock rattle canned wheels --- leave them the way they are and buy a new set of something you really like

head lights look awesome stock the way they are, tinted tails (upper part) might look good...

sometimes less is more...

I'd like to see some different wheels...

I'll think it'll transform the way your car looks.

And I've never been a fan of tinting your headlights...

^ :Nod:

Like I said, they're very subtle changes.

I am working on some more chops that will be more detailed and area specific like tails, headlights, calipers and other thing so that you guys can get a better idea and help me decide.

Check for updates

Ok so for the headlights:

Remove the amber marker yes or no?





Tint yes or no?



(please ignore how dirty the car is )

^ I think number 1 only works if you have dark ass wheels to go along with it...

Number two you could pull off with a very light coat

And I just don't like number 3 at all

I'd tint the whole tail light, but not that dark, just something subtle.

My opinion.

Cleared reflector.
tint bottom or all of tails.
tint/black the chrome trims.
Tenzo-r DC-6s or Type Ms (VS-XX copy pretty much)

Don't smoke the heads.

^^ I believe its the machined lip.





They are a few more different variations for this wheel such as the same "Charcoal Grey" (what they call it) except with a machined lip, which like i stated above, i believe is the difference between V1 and V2:


I have my eyes on this one ^


THE ONLY thing i dont like about this wheel, is that the spokes have a "bowed" effect. +45
