Blacked out headlight for PG !!!

SoCal 370Z · 04-22-2009, 12:48 PM

I am curious as to why you chose to paint the inner housing black versus color-match the body color?

I never liked same color of headlight housing to the body color. My plan is to black out the bottom fang area, and maybe black front hood, as long as I think it not overly done.

But, this is just my opinion.

looking good.. glad i saw this because i am taking apart my headlights this friday.. i had a few questions..

i noticed that you kept the rings stock silver color.. i also have PG and i was wondering if they match well because I was going to try to find a similar spray paint like Medium grey Metal like the one posted here. Painted Fog Light

... what do yyou think?

I think they match pretty good as is. However, If you want to match that to the body color, you can paint it PG.

Here is another picture of the front end...(sorry for crappy pictures, As you can see, I am not photographer, I am just an auditor..lol)

sorry for the low quality picture, it was raining outside and there was a sunset. I could have waited for better time to take picture,
but I wanted to show this to you guys.

What temp. did you bake the headlights at? or heat gun?

plan on doing a DIY anytime soon?

thanks.

I have taken my car to the local store that specializes on tuning Z and G cars. Therefore, I don't know the technical details on the procedures...
