+1, paint them. Just make sure whoever paints it knows what they're doing or else it will turn out terrible.

I used Krylon Fusion, about 4 good coats, then topped it off with 2 coats of Krylon clear reflective paint. It isn't as reflective as the can suggests, but it adds a little "sparkle" to it.



I painted them when I first got the car in 07 and it is still holding up well. Better than Nissan factory paint anyway, lol.

I'd love to paint my reflectors black but I'm having a hard time figuring out whether or not it will look good. Any opinions or any red Z's here with black reflectors?

Think I could get it done at any normal tint shop?

And did you paint your door handles or just bought them like that?

No way dude just jump on ebay buy some overlays 15% for cheap and lay it on. They wont be precut. Theres a DIY for overlays and tint, just follow that. Its ridiculously easy.

I covered my door handles with this stuff. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3M-DI...ts_Accessories
