Black out head lights or body colored head lights?

On a IROC blue camaro what would look better? Body colored head light inlets or flat black head light inlets?

I would say photo shop a pic to see what it looks like. I like both ideas, but would need to see to judge.

Send me a pic and I will try to do it, but you need to post it because I am computer dumb and don't know how.

I like the black, It offers a nice contrast for the area <unless you have a black car>. When I had my 84 z painted they had the inlets matched and it just didnt look right. I think cars need a little contrast around the lights anyway, I miss the 2nd gen chrome.

Black. And it should definitely be gloss black, the way it came from the factory. I had my front end repainted and they painted the inlets blue like the rest of the car. I told them to re-do them because I specifically told them to paint it black just like stock. And they did. But yeah, definitely black gloss.
