You only charge $50!!! Yeah, it's not that difficult, but it is pretty time consuming. That's a DAMN fine deal to get lights painted. You are a gentleman and a scholar sir!

The write ups around these boards aren't that far off from what i've been doing. I suppose i could snap some pics and do another write up? As far as blue, white, black, etc.. It's all pretty simple. The 06's are VERY easy to paint vs. the previous years IMO. It's put together in a much better way and easier to pull apart. Plus, the brights aren't affected with a TOTAL color change unlike the previous years. And again, yes, i charge $50 plus shipping for any year light and can do it in ANY style you want. Some painted, all painted, rainbow, put a shop sticker or a graphic in them, maybe a Z emblem?, etc.. It's not hard to do.

Oh, and as far as more pics. Sadly my wife has lost my memory card before i could post them to my photobucket. The ones floating around here are the only ones i have at the moment. My next set i can post will most likely be a set of 06's in graphite for a member out of Canada unless another member takes me up on my offer for PPW before wednesday.

hmm, nitrouz those are hella nice looking headlights but dont you reduce the brightness of those lights? because i read somewhere that the chromes around the lamp are functional and by painting them black i think u reduce light output?

No, this is not true for 06's. Both the driving light and high beam are true projection unlike the previous year lights where only the driving light is projection. For example, my personal set are 04's 100% black. My driving lights have changed 0, but my brights will only reflect off road signs. In an open field, sitting inside my car, you could not tell when or if i was flashing the high beams. For people in the city, this might not be such a big deal. I don't use my brights at all and it doesn't bother me that they hardly work anyway. For the 06's, the light output remains intact.. With ANY color you choose to paint them.

Subrwho can you gaurantee that the quality of work will be the same as mrzipps work? nitrouz lights are pretty nice, and it looks like great detail was put into those lights, only reason i'm asking is because we haven't seen too many pics of urs.....thanks...
