I personally think you should vht/paint. To me it looks a lot cleaner. I would try to color match to the truck, but i'd like to see it first with the photoshop. You have a nice color on the truck as it is and it would look a little awkward with them black. But, like I said, I guess I would have to see it first.

Hell, the black really doesn't look too bad.... But I would still say stick with the color-matched, thata way it looks almost like its from the factory, but mean as hell

yeah im kinda digging the black. i mean what i can do is do it with the nightshade just black at first and if it doesnt look good i can always paint it blue after. im ordering hids later, and eventually doing the halo's so once everything is done itl look sick!

Personally I would go a little bit further down on the headlight with the diagonal shape and start the diagonal a little thinner on the corner of the headlight.

+1, I think i started on the inside (near the grill) on the third line and ended up just about the second line on the outside, maybe a little higher. Start with the black and see how you like it, but I think the color matching will look good.

Nice, can't wait to see the end result. Hopefully you taped 'em up real good with something like painters tape. There was a guy on here wanting to tape it off with electrical tape one time. lmao
