dainedazz · 09-10-2009, 03:36 PM

Which is better to get?!

FLAT black Headlight housing with color matched red projectors?

or

GLOSS black Headlight housing with color matched red projectors?

idk which one i should go with!

On red I'll go with flat black. Gloss black only goes well with black imo.

neither, how about satin? Thats what I did on my 350z's headlights and it looked pretty good.

I'm going Satin, but dunno if I'm going to full color match my projectors. That look will be overdone, I think.

DannyGT · 09-10-2009, 05:04 PM

neither, flat black = chaulkboard after a while and the gloss is perhaps 'to much'..

Do what I did...matte black (satin) - basically its a flat black with a semi(low) gloss to it.

nogoodname · 09-10-2009, 05:06 PM

i painted my grille satin and it looks neat....
