Default Blackhousing: Should i also do the whole turn signal part?

I see alot of blackhousing headlights w/ the whole turnsignal area painted,
But dont you guys think it looks cleaner w/ out it painted?
Does anybody have pics or closups so i can compare the two?
By the way, my car is being painted platnum grey.

well, i bought bulbs that look chrome when they are turned off, yet they blink amber when they are on.

keeps the piggy's away and looks decent in the process.
