Default need some opinions on trim rings and turns

I know it's all subjective, but at least I'm not asking what the best seat is or what the best handlebars are. LOL.

I'm looking to kind of take an informal poll on a couple items. I had an RKC that I just traded in on my new Limited. I had the visor trim rings for the headlight, aux lights and front/rear turns. I also took the flat, pancake style turns off and replaced them with the HD bullet housings and went with the short bar on the back.

I took all this stuff off when I traded in since it doesn't get you any more trade value.

What I am trying to figure out is if the visor style trim rings would look OK on the limited or if they are maybe better suited for more of a "nostalgic" look and i should go with the regular frenched trim rings instead. I will definitely something because I also had a TL phase 7 headlamp which I will put on the Limited this weekend and will need some kind of trim ring because the LED lamp sticks out so much farther from the HL bucket than the stock halogen lamp.

Second thing is whether or not bullets would look OK on the Limited or if I should keep with the flat style turns and put whichever trim ring set I end up going with on them.

So, for the 2013 Chrome Yellow Pearl/Vivid Black Limited:
Visor Trim rings or frenched trim rings and
flat style turns or bullet style turns.

Since there usually isn't a shortage of opinions on this forum, i will give it a couple days and see how many folks prefer each option and maybe that will help make my mind up for me.

Thanks,

Scott

I have the visor trim rings on my SG and like the look.

I say visors and bullets.

Here are a couple pics of mine. I converted all of my signals to bullets, and all of the front lights, have the french visor rings. My Headlight and and passing lights are also truck lights.

I personally like the look of visors on front lights. I have had them on my last bunch of Harley's I have owned

Decided to stay with the flat lenses for the FLHTK and go with the regular trim rings instead of the visor style. Will finish everything off with LEDs once I am finished doing all my research on parts needed.
