Emblem is out of the question. Staying chromey for sure.
I have a gloss black roof as well... and if i was going to go black accents up front I was planning on blacking out my mirrors as well haha.

Option 1.
Satin Black headlights and grille. Colour matched mirror bases.

option 2.
Satin black headlights Gloss black grille, gloss black mirrors.

If you are doing the grille black do the lights black. I think the lights would look good oem color if the rest of the car was left alone.

Unless your car is black, color matched headlights are so tacky. You might as well color match your rims too...

why all the hate on color matched? I have matte black housings... and car ahaha.
Personally,
-Black housings.
-color matched mirror base.
-then for rims keep the same unless you black out all your chrome then make the lip black to match.

Lol I'm scared to open my headlights, I have a friend that did a few headlights he's trying to talk me into doing it. I also need my lens clean it's getting hazy at the top. So what bumper are you going with?

I can't tell you, you will find out next week hopefully when every things painted.

Fuji is staying silver for sure. It doesn't contrast right with the black on black.

The grille is actually going gloss for now. I might change it to satin later.
