Default Black Housing on the Z

I got the Silverstone and was considering doing black housing for my car. I wanna hear whats everyone opinion on it. Does it look nice or not. Also would you recommend glossy or flat black?

I know...corny, but I couldn't resist!

dude I want a DIY on opening them. so many possiblities for it... was it hard to do? I know that sometimes things can go wrong, but when all done the little mistake isnt noticable, did the housing crack or melt or discolor in any places at all? or was it a perfect job?

I need to get to that damn amber strip!!!

agreed, I would love a how too, or some direction to do this. I want to do it but am hesitant, to hurt the head lights.
