Default smoked out all around?..or..smoked fronts and red backs?? all on a black Z

Hi Evry1.....I have a problem. 1st of all I have a Black TRACK ed 350z. I had an accident and broke one of my headlights. So then They fixed it and now I have one brand new headlight and one old one. the old one is hazing up and has little cracks on it. I tried to do evrything to get the hazing out and the cracks removed. But I just cant get it to look like the brand new headlight. U can see a huge difference. I dont want to buy a new headlight. I was thinking of...
1. just smoking out both of the headlights. And then smoke out the tailights and rear signal lights also to match it all out, all around. So now the car will be black on black all around.

or

2. Smoking out the headlights and reding out the rear signal light and tailights. So the back will be all red and the front will be all black....all with a black car.

Which of the two do u'll think I should go with?? do any of ull out here have pictures of any of these out there on a black z so i can see what Im working with?? i would really appreciate it if any of ull would show me your car or other cars that have done any of this ....thanx

-christian

Christian,

Headlight armor just started selling rear turn signals and front reflector overlays as well. Most overlays are made out of 2-3mil sign vinyl or tint film, whereas Headlight Armor kits are made from 22mil thick, heavy-duty premium vinyl, so that they offer impact protection as well.

PM me if you're interested.

Does anyone know how the HIDs look with the overlays on mine. I am debating whether I should order for headlights or not.

Here is an analysis of Headlight Armor overlays when used on lights at night.

Bottom line is your color should look approximately the same, but light output will be reduced (this is the same for any overlay manufacturer)
