Body color headlights or Black?

I am getting some paint work done in the next week or so and I've been given the chance to have my light bezels sprayed body color. I was originally going to do them black but now I could have them color matched.

What do you guys think? Color match or satin Black.

Yes I am quite aware my photoshops are CRAP. But here's an idea, also consider color matching the lip and I'm getting the mirror bases painted as well. Just forgot to add them on.
Oh and yes I plan to go lower, it;s on H-techs now. it;s going to get some S-techs then in the future maybe some coilovers....

your color is not one that can pull off a colormatch.

do a black for the contrast.

Wow, I was expecting this to be a lot more even. But I think the colour matching is better suited on Coupes. I guess I'll go black haha, the grille is also going black.

What do you guys think about the wheels with the lip matched?

Do you think I should go gloss or satin black on the grille? I'm leaning towards satin. The headlights will probably be satin.

4drmadness, are you talking about the skirts? Yes.

keep the lips chrome.. it matches your window trim..

also, I go with satin black for both the headlights and the grill leaving the emblem chrome
