    Color matching is great. Black has its place on certain color tacos, but colormatching to some make it even better.

    Color matched IMO, going satin black looks good too but just not my taste... in my case my truck is magnetic grey and the lights are smoked already so the color of the light housing is pretty similar to the body color... bi winning? i think so... :)
