I also agree with you getting chrome. The black ones look kinda funny on your red.

I couldn't find a headlight for the passenger side so i left that alone.

im pretty partial to the look of the stock ones being chromish its really grown on me im heavily leaning to chrome now. even with the wheels flat black and my chrome grill color matched i think it will look decent

honestly, i think the chrome looks good in that pic, but thats just me...
i have the chrome ones on my car, but now that i color matched my grille pieces, i'm going to go with a black shroud and bezel when i do my retro.
if you stick with the chrome grille, do the chrome projectors

I like the chrome ones too, I dont think the grille will change that.

I actually have s ones waiting paint along with a foglight bumper for 03 and up and a color matched chrome grill. i like how teejmajier or whatever his name is lol looks thats my plans. and i think the chrome ones are less "WOW HALO PROJECTORS LOOK" they just seem cleaner to me

I voted black. I am biased though, my car has almost no chrome/silver on it.
I think with the grille inserts color matched to the car, the painted rims, and some window tint, black would look great...

If all goes well with my car, I will be taking the headlights and tailights apart and color matching. I'm trying to get rid of all the silver and chrome on the front and back of the car...

Correction, I did 60% and you did 30%. But seriously, I hate chrome on most cars. Do what me and Josh have done, get rid of as much as possible...

Black IMO, mine are coming wednesday, but for a 2000. I'm not a chrome fan either, the reverse lights in my LED tails have even been blacked out. But I was thinking the other day..... how cool would it be to color match the tails and headlights, assuming you could get the headlights apart?

I voted for the chrome. Overall even w/ the colormatched grill, I think it'll look much better on your car than black projectors IMO.
