Default What should u do?

I meant I in the title not u. sorry. But im buying 6000k hids as soon as I can send the money out but I wanna know what you guys think I should do. I am most likely gonna black out my tails but I was wondering of I should black out my heads and fogs and grille too or should I black out the fogs and grille and lightly tint the heads or what? Gimme some ideas. I can't post pics cuz I'm out of town and on my itouch but I have pics in my album. The one with the girl in the yellow shirt is prolly the best front end pic to judge from. So any suggestions are appreciated!

Buy removable covers for the front headlights. You'll be happy when you realize that you can't see. If you replace the chrome bumper for color keyed bumpers, it'd look better. But in the end, it's all up to you.

For me, safety is a bit more important than looks. I'd leave it as is.

I have fog lights behind the grille that are just as bright as my heads so I could use those instead and have the heads black so the safety isn't an issue for me

Not a fan of tinted headlights, but just my opinion. Do like the hood ornament though.

now that i really put some thought into it...I would buy black L tails like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

and the L heads and corners....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-00...A1%7C72%3A1171

and then possibly put a light tint over the fogs. but not much. if you aint got the money to buy it all.....then just tint the tails but not too much where light dont shine thru. you need light to come out of your headlights.....
