Have people bring their own tools, and hopefully find someone who knows how to actually do it, and have them take the lead on it.

And, you're car is silver, I think, if you found your car's paint color, that would look pretty sick. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a plan to make a plan, lol.

I think my headlights are fine the way they are. My car is platinum graphite which is a gray that's darker than the silver color. If it was a darker gray like the 40th Z, then maybe I would do it. After the spoiler, I think my Z is good in the looks department. Now its time to move on to performance :tup:

What about doing something like this:

It looks really difficult and complicated though.

Yeah, that DIY looks intense, I dont wanna do the whole LED type deal, but I do wanna custom paint the interior pieces, I really think we could get someone thats done it before, to help a few of us out. It'd be fun.

I'd be afraid to open up the headlight housings. Always be afraid that condensation would form inside.

Custom headlights look good, but it's one mod I'm passing on solely due to risk.

Yep. You definitely don't want to be getting condensation in there.

Beyond that, the LEO harassment that comes from having anything done to lights is simply not worth it, at least if you drive the car regularly.

Yeah I don't think its worth the trouble. It's also makes it more difficult to bring the car back to stock when trying to sell it. You would have to go through the trouble of buying new headlights and replacing the painted ones or find someone willing to buy it as is. I'm planning on selling it in like 3 years, so I don't want to do something that would be hard to bring back to stock.

Yeah it does. I get my gas from Sam's Club, so its still cheaper than most gas stations. Filled up for like $3.27/gal a few days ago and it was $3.62/gal across the street :eek:
