IMO two-tone usually doesn't look very good.
If you do two-tone, the only way it could possibly look good is if it follows the lines of the car.
The edges of the hood have their own lines.
The eyelids just screw it up, they stick out too far
Then the lines on the front bumper seem arbitrary... they don't really flow with any aspect of the car.
Your car looks nice as it is. Maybe tint the chrome trim, roof strips, and badges black would help. But a black hood? That makes it look like you got in an accident and couldn't find a new hood that was the right color.

It looks better without the eyelids, im not really feelin the led strips though.. you should make them hidden IMO & also you need a better black..this looks like a charcoal gray... Did you actually do the paint job or is this just a photochop?

It looks way better in those pics than it does with the black photoshop.
if you're looking to paint, the only thing I could think of would be to do the nissan burger in the exact same paint as the wheels, then fill in the "NISSAN" letters in red.

time for a new grill IMO. I think if you are going to do that you need to get rid of the burger and the big front tooth. Looks hidious that way. Two tone is hard to do and when done right looks amazing. try a different grill like the hollow one with black mesh. the knockoff one from china would look way better. I also agree with no eyelids. Leave the directional led strips they look good. stick out a bit because they are a different color, but look good none the less. Maybe paint them black around the leds.

I never got why everyone put they're eyelids on backwards. they were designed to follow the hood/fender lines. switching them may help.
as opposed to you and others have installed them backwards.
maybe try following along the grille lines instead of cutting the lower pillar? then follow up the hood? i dont have PS...
