Default headlight bucket painting

i don't know if i should or shouldn't, but just wondering if anyone else has done this, i want to paint the headlight buckets black, only the inner part, not the outer - kinda like how the newer mustangs are, just wanna see what it looks like and any opinions if it will look ghey or not - btw my tail light panel is blacked out as well as the hood is flat black.

I have to agree with 67mustangreg and vote no as well, if you want to do whats in the picture in the link.

I actually think it would be cool if the inside black part of the headlight bucket on the 05 up Stangs had that part painted body color.

I vote no also. Who ever put that stripe on that green car should be shot.

I'm jumping on the "NO" bandwagon too. I've seen pictures of quite a few mustangs that have gone this route and never liked any of them. The green car that was posted is especially horrendous.

That car looks like it was painted with rattle cans or house paint and a roller.
