Black Zs with painted headlights

Just painted mine a few weeks ago, didn't want to do black because I thought it would be too dark for a black Z. Painted it gunmetal, will probably open

This was my concern as well.

Thanks for the pics guys, some good looking headlights here. Those of you with work in progress, remember to post pics when they're done!

I've been wondering the same thing for a while now.

Thought about leaving the housing chrome or maybe doing it silver to match wheels/door handles and panting the shrouds and reflector black.

Maybe someones photoshop skills are way better than mine and would be willing try something like that.
