Ricer!!! I seriously dont get this, taking about your $1000 headlights to spray paint them?? Seems like such a downgrade, but to each his own so whatever makes you happy.

You are an effin moron. So many people have done this to their cars and it looks good every time. Where do you get calling me a ricer, when it a tastefull mod that EVERYONE wants to do, but most lack the ***** to do and the rest pay hundreds of dollars to get done?

Here this is my old car, I did it on it as well.

Hah, you dont have to get all butt hurt. Only thing im trying to say is that if someone did this on thier Honda civic then they are a ricer, so how does doing it on a Z make any difference?? Also just because as you say "everyone wants to do it" doesnt mean that i should do it too. Sure it doesnt look bad or anything its just the whole principal and double standard that bothers me. Oh well nice car none the less..

The double standard your talking about is in the statement above...

No one has ever said doing this to any car that has a nasty chrome headlight is ricey. If you do a google search, youll find that in EVERY forum there is a how-to on this. Not that many people like the chrome lights that the majority of these cars come with.

Just because you drive a Civic doesnt mean you are a ricer. I have seen alot of well done Civics amung other cars. I have never nor will I ever degrade a Make or Model just because of it driver that has no idea on how to build their cars. Most of the people everyone calls "ricer" is trying to show their individuality with a slim budget, or a lack of knowledge.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment.

+1 get him hahahaha. Good job ill be doing the same to mine soon. im to scared to bake them. imagine if you go get them out of the oven and there's Burnt headlight in there ahha omg ill cry. Also IMO hes not a ricer for doing that but IMO you are with your clear headlight reflecters and carbon fiber mirrors.. hahaha ill rethink about smashing some one for being a ricer when you are one. Also taking your resonator off of your stock exhaust system doesnt give you 354684616HP just a FYI

I would rather see a honda owner do this to their car than buy ebay headlights.

And if your calling a car "rice" because of painted headlights, then go do some searching. You will find that STI's, SRT-4's, Acura's, amound many others do the same thing.

Man that looks sweet. I am considering doing this also. What would you rate on a scale of 1 to 10 on this as far as difficulty.

Anyway you can post a step by step DIY?
