finally!! black housing on my SS z!!

this project is very time consuming, took me approximately 12 hours to finish it, but DEFINATELY worth it. i know there is a company which make blacking housing too, look extremly nice but the price is $800, waay too expensive IMO.

now it only cost me 20 bucks(primer, paint, sandpaper, silicone)
very satisfy with the result!
thanks laosifu for the very helpful write up!

enjoy the pics:

last one......any comment?

 

take pics in the day or in better lighting, its too hard to tell wut they really look like. seems to be really nice but i would like to see more pics in the light.

 

Can you show us how you did it? Any pictures while you doing it?

 

Bet that would look real slick on a Super Black Z.

 

Did you leave the orange strip out or did you paint it? Looks nice! I want to do this so bad I am just affraid of opening up the headlight.

 

great job...can u post pics in the daylight.
wow, 12 hrs...I am too afraid to take out the headlights myself..
can u or Laosifu open a business that would charge half the price or a 1/3 of price??? I will pay u....

 

i like it! though i will admit it takes some ***** to crack open the factory housing.

give us updates on leaking or fogging or anything. (i've always heard nightmarish stories about cracking the seal on the headlights)

 

that looks quite nice. i wonder how a flat black would look. i think they should have come from the factory like this.

i think you guys should not be so afraid to open the housings. just use a heat gun and take your time. as far as sealing i have never had a problem with it and ive taken apart many lights on other cars. you know there is a vent right? so they arent completely sealed to begin with.

 

nice job. looks good. your in sf right?? can i meet ya to check em out in person???

 

nice

 

android123: AWESOME, glad that I can be a big help to you and other Z members.

dkimx15: Only available on the weekends to do black housing so you and Jason should let me know when.

kbomb: hehehe thanks for the idea

 

PLEASE post daytime pics!!

 

yeah man wheres the amber strip? did you just paint over it? tint it? or remove it all together?

 

Sweet.
