Help Me Decide Headlight Colors
So I'm having Bref paint my headlights on here, but I'm not sure what colors to do. Here's some pics of my ride I snapped real quick with my phone...
I was thinking of making them look like this, except replace the carbon fiber with matte black paint.
The main question I have about color is if I should go with the matte black or gloss black. My grill and rims are both plasti dipped so matte would go with that right? But in the next year I'm probably going to save up for some new wheels, vossens or something which would get rid of the matte wheel look.
So, what do you think? Matte or gloss?

Bref's gonna do your lights? Nice! Congrats! Go with something that will flow with the rest of the car, if your grill is staying matte, then go with matte, of if you already know the wheels you are getting then go with that theme. Good luck, can't wait to see how they turn out to be.

Are you sending you're lights in? I plan on meeting bref in may to get my lights done in person. If you want to have some ideas and roll with another forum member on here it is cool.

Wish I could do it in person to see everything, but I've got school and work so that's not really an option unless he comes to Dallas to do ours. I know there's like 3 of us that would like that idea, but sadly I don't think Bref can do that 
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go with the glossy black housing with OEM VR shrouds and side strip. I'll probably change my grill to glossy black when I purchase new wheels late in the summer, or if there is a DIY guide I might do it sooner. Anyone have a link for one? Searched with no results
