Default Eyelids Search Narrowed Down..Need Your Opinions

I decided to start another thread on this to attract more people and their opinon's...Ok, the new headlights are coming in tomorrow and I am putting eyelids on them for those of you who don't know. What should I go with for the eyelids? Chrome Vinyl? Or use another material and paint it the color of the truck? If that, what's the material used for that called?

Thanks for your help..feel free to look at my photo gallery to make your decision - Keep in mind I will also be putting chrome side mirror covers on if that helps to determine your decision

if you are willing to wait a week, i'll take my spare set and just spray them from the inside. The paint might not hold up, but that's y I got the spares.
