looks good

sounds like you used Simota and/or my DIY for help, glad it helped someone!

i think it looks good, black on black will be weird i think the contrast will be missing if u do so

I'm thinking the back casing black, and leave the light housings the grey that they are to give it that contrast and help them stand out a little more...

Looks great!

Nice, good job!

Does it decrease the brightness and field of vision at all?

Since the Z has projector headlights, no.. There's no reflective housing needed for it. Even on reflective type housed headlights, there's two parts, the reflective piece (you don't ever paint it) and the surrounding areas which are paintable and not used for reflection.
