Headlights Opinion

Do you think painting the rim around the the headlights on the LS1 black, would look good or not. I was looking at my friends LT1 and realizied that the LT1's had the rim around the headlights painted black and the LS1's are the body color. I think the black around the headlights makes the lt1 look more agressive than the LS1, and was wondering has anyone done this or could chop it

ls1

vs.

You need to read again homie, he's asking the recess area where the headlights are at like the LT1 headlights are black. IMO, leave it.

I dunno, looks like it was punched in the face and has two black eyes. Maybe it would look better with whistlers too?
