Headlight Painting Opinions
I have a 2010 Graphite Shadow coupe and will be getting the headlights done at 180 Custom soon. I have REALLY struggled with the color combination(s) but am "currently" planning to go with...
Matte Black housing, including fog light reflector
Graphite Shadow (gunmetal) projector
Gloss Black "inner" projector
Gloss Black side strip
Any opinions would be welcome, particularly on the side strip. Anyone with experience able to comment?

Thanks for the insight. I talked to Alex @ 180 again today and he also felt I should go with matte black on the side strip.
As for the fog lights, I've only turned them on once or twice since I got the car 8 months ago, so I "think" I can live without them. I know from pictures I've seen of various painted headlights, they look better without the big, round, chrome circle of the fog lights unless you leave the projector chrome as well. (I gave that some consideration, but decided I wanted a "paint matched" projector for a more aggressive, custom look.)
