Default Paint is finished! (56k death!!)

As many of you have seen in my other post HERE my car has been in the process of getting painted. Well, its finally finished as of last weekend, so here some pics. It would be completely assembled again if we didnt get 18 inches of snow sunday . Should I keep the headlight buckets the same color as the car, or return them to how they came stock? I'm stuck in the middle and cant really decide. Feel free to give your opinions.

kinda half n half on the headlight buckets we'll just leave that up to u but at the same time i guess painting it black would go a lil more with the paint scheme so what ever u decide it will still look clean as hell!

Looks nice, I would paint the headlight buckets black, like they're supposed to be. For some reason, IMO, when LT1 camaros have the headlight buckets painted the same color as the body they start to look like a third gen from certain angles.
