  • Should I get blackouts on a dark blue car?

    Does this just look ugly, or would it make the car look bada**. At this point, I have no opinion, just considering it, so any input, positive or negative, please. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    thats a good question. i love mine but my car is black. i have seen some blue mustangs with black outs and i dont remember telling myself it was ugly, but i see where blue/black could leave question.
    6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.

          Me personally, I think blackouts are kind of cheesy. No offense of course to anyone that has them, but it makes it look you are missing your chrome trim around the gas cap and tweety bird mud flaps.

          However they don't look that bad on the front, I'd just omit them on the rear.

            I think that they would look pretty good on a blue car.

              I've got the blackouts on my navy blue car and they do look bada**. They get rid of that clashing yellow colored tail light and also on the front your headlights dont stand out so much (white headlights against a dark car)

                I Like the way blackouts look on any car I like them on the back as well! I have every light on my car covered in blackouts including the turn signals and fog lights!

                          Yes get them! I think blackouts just look good on our cars in general. Looks real nice on blue, Theres a hot blonde that drives a Navy Blue 98+ RS here and it looks really good. Red Blue and Black are best for blackouts imo

                            well IMO it makes the car look 'less-clean' but it doesnt look awful.

                            I just wonder why anyone would want their brake lights to be dimmer??

                              The black outs looks pretty cool on a silver car but for the look im goin for im not going to get any! I bought clear corners to go good with the headlights.
