Anyone familiar with that? My Z is stock, bought it in 2014. I have a steady job and now I'm looking to put a little work into it. Starting with exterior, moving to audio, then performance. All the help is appreciated.

don't do it. it looks ugly as sh!t

I used VHT nightshade to tint my tails. Only 2 coats and then wet sanded and polished.





There is a very good DIY on painting the headlights and installing Halos. Check the DIY section, I believe it was NutNMuch that put it together, even has videos. It simple, but can be frustrating and nerve racking.
