Default Blacked out my headlights (Pearl White Z)

Well I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but just decided to go for it. I'm actually really happy with how it turned out. I think it will look even better with black wheels and possibly blacked out fangs.

It was just about dark when I got home so the pics are pretty crappy. I'll try to get better ones this weekend.

Is that paint or tint? It doesn't look too bad, how's your visibility at night?

I just opened the headlights up and painted the chrome/silver pieces. I haven't drove it at night yet but light output should be roughly the same. The pattern might be a little off since it won't reflect off all the sides as well as stock. I'm sure it'll be fine though.

Thanks guys

A black roof had crossed my mind but I haven't given it any serious thought yet. I like the idea of a CF or black rear diffuser. This weekend I think I'm going to paint the wheels black for starters

I'm on the north edge just a few miles away from Lowes Motor Speedway and Concord Mills Mall.

Yes sir! I had the dealer swipe the seats out of another Z on the lot. I was dead set on persimmon. It's weird, everyone seems to love or hate the seats. Mostly people hate them, including the girlfriend. The dealer seemed happy to swap them into my car so he could get rid of them
