      Need help deciding about headlight mod...

      I've talked to some of you guys about painting the inside of the headlights black. My Aveo5 is Tahiti Green, and the emblems and rims will eventually be black. My boyfriend thinks that it would look cool if I painted the inside of the headlights the same color as the car. There is a website where I can buy spray cans of color code matched paint. ( automotivetouchup.com ) <---anyone know anything about this company while i have brought it up??
      I am not sure which one would look best; black or color matched.
      So, my boyfriend suggested that I see what my "friends" ( ) think.....????

      not sure if it will help or not, but the "yellow" headlights will look dirty to the rest of the car most of the time through the lense.

      i personally went black.

      matte black and gloss black makes difference, decide which one you like....

      sealing the headlight will be challenging...

      or consider painting the housing black and leaving the orange reflector on,
      more like OEM. just an example.

      or go with body color, but just a lil bit darker (closer to black) then you get 2 tone color,,,,
