Black housing headlights on Tidewater Blue?



What does everyone think? I'm interested in doing an HID projector retrofit, but am debating on whether to black it out or retain the OEM color match.

(BTW - this is someone else's car photo that's been photoshop'ed obviously)

I think Honda should have made all the head lights black on all the Fits - that the mod most of us want to do but it is just too expensive to re- place them. I would not trust myself to do the paint but many guys have and they look great.

The Black housing i think its a little to much for that specific color. A less dark color such as SSM would prolly work, but if that were me i would smoke the lights lightly and see how that goes.

I like the Headlights, but Tide Water Blue is just so.... well yikes. I actually think it's going to take alot more then normal to pull that specific colour off.
