Got my headlights painted this past Saturday. Did the housing in black and the shrouds in a light gun metal. The color of the shrouds ended up lighter than the car's color (I wanted it to be darker), but it still looks good. Had an incident with one of the lights where the lens was melted in the oven. At this point I'm just gonna leave it as is, but I might buy a used headlight later down the road to swap out the lens.

Just ordered some Eibach sway bars. Hoping to get them this week and install them this weekend.

b1adesofcha0s · 12-13-2012, 09:58 AM

Well I got the Eibach sways installed last week. Sorry no pics, was in a bit of a hurry. Set it to the soft setting in the front and middle setting in the rear. Steering feels a lot tighter and sharper, but I won't really get the full effect of the sway bars until it gets warmer and I get summer tires back on the Z. It was still a pretty noticeable difference in the handling/steering. At least as much of an effect as installing the swifts were, if not more. Highly recommend them

I always go into a project thinking of doing a DIY and pics, then half way thru it DOH! I realize I forgot from trying to hurry lol

Yeah this just happens to be one of those mods that you can't see once you're done installing it.

any issues with the front lip being to low or scraping?

I'm lowered on eibach springs and installing my evo-r front lip soon.

b1adesofcha0s · 08-22-2014, 08:49 AM

I have definitely scraped it a bunch on times on steep driveways. Just gotta be very careful with those.
