Canada Poll & Help: Color decisions for front headlights

So here is my dilemma, I was going for the black'd out sleeper look but also want to make this beast really look bad ass... to go with that idea I am trying to decide on what to do to my front Headlights....

If anyone is good with Photoshop and would be willing to do some rough work so I can get an idea I'd appreciate it...

I am deciding between a Blood red, Metalic red (like duplicolor's metal that Outtamymind used on his engine), Color Matched Black or just saying *** it and going with Projectors...

Opinions / feedback are welcome... negative assenine comments will be ignored.

Photos for photo-shopping:

I think a really dark red like maybe the sport tint with a black base under it might look really good... hten see if you can get the reddish bulbs

I was thinking the same thing!!

Anyways, I would say either color match 'em black and possibly eyelids, or just go with black halo projection headlights. (instant aggressive look)

James.... dont you have the red interior lights and alot of red accents? I think i remember you doing that... if thatsthe case I would think some real dark deep red lights would look sick... just to accent... I wouldn't contrast with a real bright red (like the victory) It, might be worth it. If you want, I have like an extra half a can of Sport Red tint. If you want it let me know, ill let it go for just the shipping. and you could test it out. worse comes to worse you could always paint them over with black.

I just have this mental image of an all blacked out cobalt with black widows on the rear lights, red interior lights and red headlights with a blood red housing in my head and it just looks sick.

Great Memory ^_^ LOL Yeah I've got the interior lights tinted and the tails done and the red interior Led under kit and the Underglow kit (not installed yet).

See the metal image your seeing is prolly like mine sick dark kinda blood red painted lights with black eyelids and the red light inside etc would look sick but I'm not totally sure so i wanted to see a test version before i do it....

The black projectors look mean. If you throw eyelids on them, even meaner.
Like this, except these are chrome and don't look so mean.

Thanks for the pic it looks good, yeah I like they way they look with eyelids I think I will prolly go with the color matched paint and if I screw it up then I'll get the black crome projectors...

Spaz: thanks for the heads up... I was going to keep it red with the actualy area as a reflective manner
