The chrome does look unique, but I vote black heads, but paint the fog lamps. Your blacked out fog lamps look horrible imo, and must have crap for light output. Paint the interiors of them similar to the headlamp painting technique, you'll be looking really slick. Masking the interiors of the fogs is a challenge if you have big hands though, I cussed quite a bit that night
