On mine I did the entire housing flat black but had the 2 headlight shrouds done in gloss black.. I was just looking thru my pics.. they all kind of suck but this was some i had.

I'm liking the flat black housing with the gloss black shrouds. I'm definitly looking for a suttle contrast and that's pretty sharp! The dark gray housing sounds interesting too! Would like to see that! N 2theextreme, your car looks sick! Love the blue with carbon fiber. And your headlights look awesome! That's what I'd do if I had a blue z. Haha. Thanks for the suggestions and the help guys!

Hey, I'm thinking about doing a very similar job on my black Z. Can I talk you into taking some better picks (less glare) of your headlights? I think it looks good, but want to see it a little better.

Also, who did your work for you?

We did that setup for one of our clients as well. Matte black housing with glossblack/magnetic black shrouds. Here are his pics:

So I was at the auto parts store yesterday and came across this stuff called shadow. I duno if anybody has seen or used this stuff before. It was the first time I have seen it. But it's a two can set and is used for blacking out chrome. It comes with the paint and clear. It's more or less a translucent black paint that still allows the chrome to show through. I used it on a couple small chrome parts I had laying around and it looked pretty good. So I'm thinking I'm going to used this on my head lights now and paint the rings gloss black. Hey if I don't like it I'll just paint them the flat black I originally intended on. Thought I'd share my find with everyone and see what your thoughts are and if anybody has used this stuff before and if it worked well.

go to my site i have them done the way u just described.. plus rims nd tail light tints

Id post pics but there all the same from one black z to another. I get so many looks and MR Works did an outstanding job with the best service.

^^^ I saw you last week!!! On friars road hopping onto the 15 south! ;)

lol was probally me heading to work, Everything is still working great not zero problems, just looking for the next mod, thinking rims but dont know where to go and want light weight

chrome and gloss black
 

I have a black z and I was wondering what yall thought about leaving the housing chrome with the shrouds, landing strip, and reflector strip in gloss black. I like the look of the blacked out housing but think this might be a different look.

I was wondering about the same thing. I would love to see if anybody painted their shrouds and strip black but left the rest of the housing chrome. Pictures please....:pics:

Did my headlights yesterday. Decided to go flat black with gloss black surrounds. The shadow paint stuff I got to try and tint the chrome looked like ***. Haha so I decided to just go with flat black with gloss black surrounds. Came out very nice and with the help of the diy thread was pretty straight forward. I'm happy with the results and below are some pictures of the results. The LEDs are very bright and almost looks like my headlights are on in one of the pics!
