^Good! 
When I saw the first post and spotted the Nismo decals on the stock 17's, I was all cocked and ready to flame-on
As for your headlight question, do them black.
I'm in the process of doing the same right now.
Also, when you do your emblem, make sure you mask it off properly. It will look terrible if you do the entire thing in IP.

-They looks cheap and crappy 90% when retro fitted on a car they dont belong.
-They frequently overheat or just break. Then you see cars with one halo because the owner is too lazy to reopen a headlight and fix it.

Yeah haha, its kind of an embarassing pic...I havent gotten a chance to snap new pics, and your grill looks amazing, I still havent decided if I am going to try for emblemless or what you have done, if I go down the emblem route I hope it comes out as nice as yours did, what paints did you use?
I used Valspar paint. (actually, do a an advanced search for valspar and my username, you'll get all my posts on the grill)
The paint you use is less important than the prep and care in painting.
