Digging this up but I am doing that to my rear tail lights before this summer comes...

They are going to do my headlights in matte black ( no leds or anything ) and my rear tail lights smoked, but on the inside, like the lexus picture.. Im not a fan of spraying the outside of the light, I feel as if spraying the inside is a much cleaner more OEM look...

Pricing is very reasonable as well... I will post pics but will not be until the end up March most likely.

Im also going to get in contact with 180 this spring. Not sure what color combination I want yet though, my car is black. Alot of the examples Ive seen with black housings sort of get lost a bit on black cars.

What about a darker shade of silver/grey, just so the headlights do not pop out so much...

for 160 for a headlight paint job you cant go wrong.. they gaurantee there work and have seen countless awesome jobs come out of there so Id rather give that little bit of money than tackle it with the DIY..

Grey with paint matched shrouds ( few extra bucks ) would look good on black i think...

Also, PM me , maybe we can go together... I am doing the headlights and tails.. he was telling me that he takes the headlights out and you can drive home without them... but I cant drive home without tails... I was planning on taking a cab to the train station but if you are going to go too, I will just do it at your leisure and take care of your gas... LMK!

I was thinking of dark grey/gunmetal as well, and painting the door handles someday to match as opposed to body matching the handles.

As for getting there and back, if indeed Im ok driving with no headlights then Id be happy to give you lift, no gas compensation necessary. Would you have to leave the Z there then?
