Question Blacklines Vs Whitelines

I am not a big fan of Blacklines. With all respect to people who got them, but I think they make the car look cheap. I would get a whitelines if they were available on the market today. Do you guys think that a Whiteline would become available on the market soon? BTW, who makes the current Blacklines? Maybe we can get enough people to contact the manufacturer, they will start producing Whitelines.

** I have attached a picture of what a WHiteline might look like.

I think the blacklines are quite nice looking, but for alpine white the whitelines would look much better than the blacklines. For that reason I might try to modify my blacklines (as soon as they get here) to see if i can make it more like whitelines. Only problem is I don't have all the necessary tools to complete the project. We'll see i guess...

When I first came to this site, I only saw blacklines and was going to buy it.
until I came across several white-line pics.

I don't know about other colors, but for bright cars, especially white, whitelines > blacklines.

Actually I would be in on a group by if that is what is needed in order to get these made. If I had a dark color I'd get the blacklines, but for TiAg the whiteline effect in the picture would be best.

Hahahah! Seriously though - the minorities were pretty outraged when McDonald's phased out their "brown" chicken nuggets to purely "white-meat" chicken nuggets (probably just bleached, grounded chicken meat).

I don't know if it's just me, but the whitelines look pretty much like the stock E90 lights.
