Smoked film headlamps/ Blacked out emblems pics
 
3 Attachment(s)
Boys,
The film because its so thick is a little bit of a bitch to lay down.
I wanted to change the front head on appearance to tone down all the headlamp look.
Also by blacking out the emblems makes you look more at the body lines I think.
I just got this car and the paddle shifters are rocket fast WOW FUN...
There is no way a manual can shift this lightning quick...

PS: I used the plastic dip spray from Home depot....real easy to use!!!!

PS: If blacked out the whole healamp...then would'nt i look like every other Z with smoked out headlamps..wow that's different.
"outside the box"
Here,s is a night pic...I,am the last guy that.s wants to look like everyone else

I agree that the 7AT shifts faster. That's pretty much a given at this point.

nice! excuse my ignorance but why didn't you tint the whole front lights?

You should've tinted the entire head light. I'm not really a fan of half the headlight. Unless there was a reason you only did half?

Pretty sure the lights are tinted that way for design purposes. It gives the car a different look. I'm not a fan of it, but it is at least fairly original.

I wanted the brightest headlamp possible at night but not showing the
whole headlamp. With a 3/4 qtr.film job I still get the full effect of the Xenon and I like the slits exposed for a different appearance. I applied the film myself so I figured no problem if I didn't like it. Cruise on!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to paint the side markers and door handles next.

Did you remove the 370Z from the back?

The vertical door handles are so unique to the Z though, why hide them?

^Agreed, I think it is a signature touch and they don't look too bad in my opinion.

Do not come to California with smoked headlights, you definitely gonna get pulled.

Wow, you just made a Japanese car even look Japanese... :wtf2:

I'm sorry if that offends anyone but that's as anti-racist as I can make it. :rofl2:

Because on black it stands out like a sore thumb. I want a BLACK car, not a black car with silver spots all over it. To me they were an eyesore, and when painted black = money. :tup:


Just my :twocents:
