Black out the Reflectors?

[Ryushin]

My HID retrofit has been completed. But my retrofiter has given me the option of painting the reflectors black. I like that aspects of it being black, but I also think the chrome looks okay. Here is a link with a different brand of light and the first set of pictures has it blacked out, and the pictures towards the middle show it without it blacked out:

Taz also has a picture in his PDF on page 25 of the stock light and light that has a projector with it blacked out.

Please let me know what you think. The Cobra is DSG in color. I have this weekend to make up my mind.

So no one even has any opinions on what would look better?

I blacked mine out, it looks better imo.

I think I'm leaning towards it being blacked out. Otherwise, it might look like a hack.

What about the Angel Eyes in that first link:

I'm think I'm starting to like those in a blacked out housing. It would give the cobra some eyes. Or would this look to ricer in our cars?

I would go blacked out and i don't care for the angle eyes i think they look a little to ricer.

What about painting the the shrouds black as well, and painting the rings around the projector DSG in color? Or would it be best to just leave the projector and shrouds chrome and just black out the reflector.

I painted my shrouds black as well, the ring around the projector is brushed aluminum.

I like em blacked out

Then I think it's pretty much unanimous. Blacked out it is. I don't think the angel eyes would look good on our cars. BMW yea, but not ours.
