To paint, or not to paint???

last nite, he said he wanted to clear his lights. and not only that, but black inner housing as well. so we went out and got some supplies. i did the job. those lights were being some bitches, but the end result was beautiful, especially since his car is all black. i wanted to do mine, but want an honest opinon from u guys. My Vic is SSM, with a carbon fiber hood, and a soon to be black altezza grill. So, throw me some opninions!!!

Be original, dont go black. Have the framing in the headlight housing painted SSM...... Its subtle yet enough peeps will notice if they know what to look for.....
