73-78 Headlight Bezel Color

Ok for all of you round eye people, What do you prefer for the color around the headlights on the chrome bezels? Silver, Black, or full polished (no paint). Also does anyone have pics of them fully polished??

Re: 73-78 Headlight Bezel Color

My preference is satin black headlight bezels and grill. I tried argent for a minute and it just looked too stale. Here is a headlight bezel thread from last year.
