Black of Chrome outer fairing skirt- can you show me?

Hey guys, Ive never utilized your wonderful skills and have a request. I just got a brand new FLHX and have bought most of the parts to start blacking out the front end i.e. black lower forks, and upper fork sliders. I did forget however to buy the outer fairing skirt, that is the piece that is jsut above the forks and below the batwing. My plan with the bike is to go black and chrome, not completely blacked out or chromed out etc.

My request is can you black out my forks and leave the outer fairing skirt chrome, then do it again with it black. I wanted to see which I liked better, I think I already know the answer but I cant answer it 100% without seeing it. Thanks.

These are just some photos I took quickly in the garage 5 minutes ago. They arent great pics but they will give me the idea I need to make the right decision. Thanks again.

Yes I am and I like that, I was thinking I wasnt going too. I plan on doing the french chrome trim ring on the headlight (similar to whats on it) so was torn on leaving that or making it black as well.

Hey great now I am still torn. I know I like it all blacked out like that but of course everyone has it all blacked out so was trying to be somewhat different.

hey I appreciate all the work, you definately gave me something to look at and figure it out. Much easier then trying to imagine it.
