Default 06' headlight Blackout out or Charcoal Grey Metallic??

Hey guys I will be setting up an appointment with Caesar aka ESsTeAEyE for headlight services problem is I don't know what to do? I have an 06 Silverstone.

I can either do a complete blackout out like Nitrouz's ride...

or the same idea but with dark charcoal grey metallic like the work he's done on STI's ... see this thread...

Im just not sure which direction to take...

btw down the line im interested in the nismo v2 front bumper and cf vented hood. I think if i kept everything silverstone i should go with dark charcoal grey....but if i left the vents CF and maybe the bottom lip of the v2 black then maybe i should go with black out.... such a huge decision!

I would suggest dark charcoal grey metallic. It flows with your silverstone better without overpowering it. Also, the shade of CF is closer with the grey instead of black. I just got another CF hood and it's not painted yet...and it looks kind of weird with the black headlights...just not flowing very well imo.

Good luck!
