Neither, they just need to be off - I don't think they flow with your car right now. These eyelids are hard to work with. IMO they only work for a Z if you have some type of front bumper or front lip to re-enforce its aggressive stance.

All good points from everyone....although if you are a photoshop wiz you can easily just make them yellow and see if you like them or not.

This will give you a very good idea if you think you will like it black or yellow. Good luck.

Paint them. Since you don't have a front lip or aftermarket bumper the car can't really pull off the diff. color eyelids.
