Exclamation ! Color Match or Not !

Guys I'm going insane with this already. My headlights and grille be painted soon and I'm confused if I should color match the projector shroud or not. I need some help and I know some of you have an artistic eye so what do you think will look best but different at the same time. There is one LP that has painted headlights and he got color matches shrouds and everything else obsidian black.
Most people just get the black housing and thats it.
I know i want to black out the housing and black out the parking light shroud like this one. But I'm confused if i should color match the projector shroud or not, and to black out the blinker/fogs too or not?

Keep in mind I have an emblemless gloss black grille.

Help me out!
This is the general idea of what i want for sure.


And this is the LP with color matched shrouds.


This also a G37 with a color matched projector shroud.

Should i color match the projector shroud or not?
Should I black out the blinker/fogs or not?


Please share your thoughts.
I got only like 2 or 3 weeks to make up my mind.

If you're going with the midnite style grill, then keep some chrome in the housing, like the shroud. If you arent going to have any chrome up front, then ide color match them the color of the car so there isnt just this chrome piece with nothing else chrome around it to to it all into the scheme. Its all about balance of colors. All black grille-color matched. Midnite grille with some chrome-chrome shrouds.

Well guys the onlt the thing is, someone already has it all color matched shrouds.
Im definitely leaning more towards the color matched projector and everything else black. I want to be somehow different than everyone else. With LED mods I know I will be for sure but the color scheme is a b!tch lmao

Why not: LP Projector | Black Housing | LP Parking Light | Black Fog/Blinker?

Im getting everything black except the projector should is going to be color matched. This will also match the emblemless grille but not ruin contrast.
