it requires talking off front bumper, 2 front wheels and under tray, then you have to bake your headlights in an oven to make the sealant melt (silicon) then you pry them apart, then you paint the pieces you want painted theres variety of ways to do them, then primer, paint, clear coat then bake them again melt silicon and put them together. it took me 6 hours aprox.

That would look slick on a black Z. Take some day pics and post 'em. Looks good though.

Ive done this to my Celica, gives it a JDM look. Its a really simple process, its just time consuming. I dont think you really need to primes or add clear coat to it since it will be in the housing itself. Just go to an auto store and buy high gloss paint and add a few coats, it should be fine.

Heat to 350 degrees and make you sure you turn the flame off after that, if you dont turn the flame off you will melt your headlights and they will warp! and i leave it in there for about a good 7 minutes and you gotta use muscles to peal em apart but they come apart
