what if you painted the projector shroud red...that would have looked cool

Yah i was soooo tempted to color match it i even bought the paint!!!! but i it would suck if i changed my color later on and i would still have red halo looking things lol

DIY for the Black Fangs? Yes please! This will be one of the first things I will do when I get my car (4 more weeks). And the blacked out headlight housings will probable the 2nd mod. I think it will look great on PG...

BTW: Great job on the headlights and thanks for the tip on the 7 dollar rear overlay mod!

They had a black GTR at the dealership when I ordered my Z in April, when I went by to check on my order status last week, it was still there, guy who ordered it changed his mind!?!? WTF? To bad I can't afford it...

Have fun at the meet, your Z will be a good second, after the GTR

Damnit, I am going to have to do this. I did it on my 350z, and wasn't going to on this one, but they just look soooo much better in black! I did the oven method myself.

Oh crap! The DIY section has over a page of sticky's. Since it's new, it should be at the top. I didn't see anything in the first page about headlights, so I thought he hadn't posted! Thanks Simota!

Caravanshaka · 06-28-2009, 01:58 AM

fyi, one headlight done with blackout and LED's, the other one is completely painted and nearly done wiring so I should finish early tomorrow and have plenty of time to do a DIY write-up in the evening.

4 days and still no DIY - am I too impatient?

The headlights... but LEDs would be good too. Am I missing something? Do they already exist somewhere?
