Default Black or Chrome Halo Headlights on NBM?

I am going to order the Halo headlights here pretty soon, and I was trying to figure out which color would look better on NBM. I have never seen pics of either on an NBM car. Let me know you guys opinion.

Thanks!

I'm going with the black halos, only because I'm changing the scheme of my car. I've got a '01 NBM SS, the parts I'm changing to black are:

SS Hood Scoop, or entire hood (haven't decided)
Rear Panel (Berger SS style)
18x10.5 Z06 Black Motorsport Rims
Black Tint Windows
Black Halo Headlights
Blackouts on Tail Lights (haven't decided)

hmmm... i say definetely don't do:

black hood
black rear panel
black rims
blackouts

the windows and the hood scoop black are a good idea, but i really think the other stuff is just going to make the car look worse rather than better. i mean seriously, if you are going to paint all that other **** black, why not just buy a black car!?! every camaro i've ever seen with the rear panel painted i just immediately assume they are too poor to get that piece painted. i've always thought that looked awful. and then when you do your hood that color too, it's really gonna look like you can't afford a paint job! it's just my opinion though, and i'm not in hawaii, so it's not necessarily a big deal what i think

Oh, I'm keeping my stock NBM panel, my cousin's stock black Z28 is on it's last legs, but the body is immaculate. Just swapping it out, if it doesn't work, I can swap mine back in. I was going to get the Mantra/Intimidator SS stripe kit for my hood, but after seeing people post that it's difficult and just go get it painted, I figured I should just go do that. In another post, my hood is scratched so I figure maybe instead of just touching up, maybe just do the whole thing. The rims is because, I don't like chrome, but can't keep up with the polish. Also, I saw a set of the Black Z06 on a NBM and it looks sweet. Anyhow, thanx for your feedback, I appreciate it.

Hey Berman8or, I think the chrome halos with clear corners and clear side markers looks really good, but I also like that picture of the car with the blackouts and black halos. I'm in the same boat as you man. Does anyone know if any of the sponsors carry these, I'm gonna start lookin, but if anyone knows speak up.
