Headlights: Yay or Nay!
 
Just picked up the Z. I blacked out my housing earlier this morning. I can't decide whether I like or not.

At times, I think it looks bad *ss and sometimes I think it looks :icon14:

I'm planning on powder coating the wheels gun metal down the road so hopefully that would blend in with the darkness. Meanwhile, I can't decide if I like the black housing or not.

Let me know what you think

Yay. Definitely looks meaner. Now if you black out your fangs in the front, it will look really aggressive

Id say plasti-dip or have you emblems painted. The chrome emblems is probably what is throwing you off since the headlights aren't chrome anymore.

…you have to add more black to the car. Emblems, fangs, door handles, wheels, etc. It'll look great. I'd like to black mine out with a little yellow in there but until I start with the paint of other parts, it'll have to wait.

IMO, should have kept the projector shroud silver so it doesn't look like a black hole.

Yea that was my first thought. I kept mine silver to make the headlight stand out more.

Based on the shots you posted, I like how it came out. Black out your fangs to round it out. Don't over dip. How does it look to you up close?

I'm not completely on board with how it is now. If you paint matched the shrouds...it'd be perfect. I know a lot of people do it like that on here, but honestly it's the best looking way to do it.

It looks good up close. It does stand out a bit more only the fact that everything else is silver.

I like it, once the wheels and emblems are done it will help the theme flow more, now you are drawn to the lights because its the only thing different and dark.. agreed!
