Wonder how a inner silver would look? I know some concept cars have it like that and it looks good.

I say no as well... The silver rims make the headlights and turns look really sweet nice and bright as well as the grille.

I say don't do it. Only looks good on certain cars, mainly black and red. Your car looks good as it is.

i'd say go for it, i went through the same tough decision. my car is NBM with silver manta stripe, and it turned out great. it made the front alot cleaner and meaner looking. the silver lights just dont look right on some cars.

I'd have to vote no. You're car looks awesome as it is. The clear housing really compliments the the grandsport stripes, wheels, and badges. I just think that you've got a really nice balance right now as it is. Either way, it's a gorgeous car. Nice job!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the same color as the fender stripes.

Do it man, it is totally worth it. The thing about nbm, is that in some lighting it almost looks black, and the the contrast of actual black headlights would probably make the nbm be more pronounced. Check out the pics of my headlights on my silver Z. http://photos.yahoo.com/mfrey_kdr

I think your headlights compliment your wheels and fender stripes well, so I say leave them be.

Like a few others have said in this thread, you might try a silver or a grey. Take a look at my recent thread...
