Question Headlight mod yes or no?

I'm trying to decide whether to do the headlight mod on my car. I love the way it looks on NBM. Just don't know how it would look with my other mods. So here's my options.

1. Leave it alone
2. Paint the headlight's and the billet grille black.
3. Paint just the headlights.
4. I wild idea that popped in my head. Paint the inside of the headlight's NBM.

You guys know best thanks for the help.

EDIT: Here's some pics Top one is most up to date.

I know I can't decide. I don't want to do something and get pissed if it doesn't look good.

Don't do NBM. Someone on here with a SOM car painted the headlights to match and it didn't look so great in my opinion, because they blended in too much with the car and looked almost washed out.

With your car having chrome rims, stripes & a chrome grill, to leave the lights chrome seems to be the right thing to do.

Alright heres is what I decided. Leave it alone. I would put on some halo's and just leave it alone. I have the chrome halo's on my car right now, I really like the way that it looks (I have NBM as well)

On dark cars(NBM or black) it looks the best. I wouldn't paint them body color.

Be different, be original. Number 4 will look great, trust me. Post pics when done though.
