    may as well paint it pink cause it will look gay anyway


    or mayb a real dark tint,
    but black would look real odd

    I saw a white VT the other day, altezza lights and the garnish painted black. thought it looked ridiculous in my opinion.
    I have seen on ebay things to replace the garnish, you just gotta get it painted the colour of your car. That's if you want to spend over 160 bucks.

    If you want the Altezza corner lights, painting the garnish the came colour as the car is really the only option available. VX garnishes look slightly better painted IMO than VT garnishes.
    Another option is the chrome decor strip that sits above the numberplate on the Calais models. Put that on a colour coded garnish and it seems to give it a bit more character.

    colour code is the way 2 go but depends on the colour of ur car?, black certainly doesnt look as good on silver so bad examples there IMO. Plus the VT garnish suits the bubbly shape much better over the VX 1, no sharp edges n has a better flow 2 it.
