no blackout. imo headlamps are one of the few parts where the OEM look is very valuable in the overall perception of the car. modifying them is very often that one step too far. Considering your theme and coherence so far I wouldnt touch them.
great looking car. Im with you on the attention to detail, although mine is entirely black. great touch with the full gloss grill. Its super clean so far, dont over do it

I had the same dilemma -- Unless your car is a dark color (grey, dark blue, black), the blackout will not look good unless it is part of a theme; in which case it would look fine.
I went with no blackout, and to be honest, they stand out more than I would ever expected anyway.

So basically i've gotten every single reply possible. lol. Even one i hadn't considered : "i like it stock". (sorry sean, it's too late for me. i've been taken to the dark side. stock is a long gone vision for me now.)

I have OSS angels on my car without the blackout , but I did get rid of the amber I blacked that out. For Dakar idk it's really hard to tell which would look better. I say it's a toss up , blackout will look good with your wheels , yet no blackout will leave it clean looking. Regardless what you go with , I promise your going to be knocked on your back when you see how bright the angels are.

Sorry I've been a little MIA these past couple of weeks, busy with work. There are more mods on the way, I just haven't had time to get around to having them installed haha. But they ARE coming. Chief amongst them : OSS, new front bumper, maybe a new front lip, and suspension (i'm currently debating between KW v3 coilovers and the Ground Control kit which allows you to keep EDC fully intact. Further out on the horizon i'm considering ESS and Brembo. So, in short - NO. I'm definitely not done with the MODS. haha. Once work dies down a bit, I'll get right back into full force modding and update this with the latest pictures . - esquire
