ive been thinking of blacking out my 06 headlights but i cant really get an idea of how theyd look on a redline, so thanks to ghost_shifts pics i was able to ps some of his shots onto my z (hopefully he doesnt mind )

so heres a few ps attempts (im not good with ps but i try), tell me what you think





(these are the only angels of pics i have that match his pics)

thanks everyone!

 

Looks really good, but nothing beats color matched housings IMO.

 

yah thats what i originally wanted...but after lookiung at the headlights for a while i concluded that there are too many lines in the housing to color match..,its not like a vette where its all smooth in such

 

I think the 06 lights look better stock, although blacked out on PPW looks good.

I'd keep em silver on the Redline.

 

gosh darn....seems to be that hard to get some opinions

 

ok, i'm gona definitely say go colormatch for 2 reaons:

1. while being very clean, the car in that post looks like it got beat up.
2. everybody is blacking out there lights, be different.
3. the red on red is absolutely sick!

i know i said i would give you 2 reasons but the last one is the most important. lol.

 

color match

 

I think the black looks sweet, but I did the same thing, so maybe I'm biased.

 

plus, I've never seen a redline w/ blacked out lights before - yours would be the first I've seen (aside from your ps's of course)

 

When are you going to do it? I have a redline too. I was wondering how hard it would be to color match the headlights and take them apart an all but I decided egh not worth it. Though I would really like to see how yours turn out. If they look good, maybe I would change my mind.

 

well once i decide what i wanna do then ill get to doing it im not really an impulsive person...my thoughts are what my fuure plans are exterior wise...if i do black housings then ill have a sort of two toned black red thing going on....but if i color match then ill probably do something that will give me the effect of a stock look...cwest sides (like azulas) with top secret rear skirts (molded) and like an ings lip or something

and im not reall into the ill do something now and if i want to change it later then lets jsut go for another look...i like doing things once thatll satisfy fe for a really long term basis

 

blackedout 06 lights? or any cuz taurran's z has blacked out 03-05 lights...so i wouldnt be the first in tat respect

 

oh really? huh, what thread did he post his pics? I'll have to check that out.

 

search his name in the member list...or you can got to the pic share part of the forum and hes one of the few redlines in the thread titled "so you think you have the hottest redline on my350z" or somwthing likw that

 

not a fan of blacked out lights, i would colr match if i were you
