Color advice
 
I... Need some other people's opinions on how color combination I should use when I paint the insides on my headlights. I've got most of my car completely blacked out and not sure if I should stick to that or... Go with like black and red to match the nismo stitching? Or something else? If anyone has pictures of theirs with different color combos that would be awesome :-) this is what she looks like now...

I personally just can't stand the bright headlights staring me in the face lol

Im personally not a big fan of the black housing with red shrouds look, if I were to paint my black Z it would be one solid color. Im not sure if ricer is the right word but it just seems ehhh to me

I vote all black

Do what you want to do with your car. Since you are asking for suggestions, blacked out housing would look great. Go easy on the red accent.

Well i think u need a few things by looking at ur ride pic
1) red wheel nuts/locks
2) red calipers ( if they arent red yet)
3) blak headlights with red LEDs i think 180customs can make em color change, like from blue to red that should be awesome
4) a bloody mask while u drive it, :bowrofl:

Thats effin awesomeee

I did my headlights black, with satin on the housings and gloss on the surrounds. VHT Nightshades on the orange reflectors. It came out great.

Just change the color of your wheels. It will stand out much more than other small mods. I say gun metal to dark bronze. Personally I don't like matte wheels, they look really dirty all the time.

Those blacked-out housings look mean on ALL the blacked-out Z's that I've seen.

If you can't make up your mind, honestly man IMO you should just leave the housing as-is. Your pic looks OUTSTANDING! And the standard housing on your Z make a serious statement. Looks like sleek, glowing demon eyes.

Already going to get pulled over for illegal tint and speeding. Don't need to add blacked-out headlights XDD

I'm a fan of either painting them black or color matching them to the paint..which in your case is basically the same thing..

Anybody have a black Z with blacked-out headlights or have a pic they could link to? :3
