Not a big fan but I think you should paint the silver part black. Definitely want to see what it looks like on the car

The body colored headlight look doesn't work on the Z like it does on the C6 vettes. The housing's shape isn't clean enough to pull it off.

the more i think about it, the headlight is probably to big to pull off all red. but ima still take a picture of the spare one on it. Just so we can have a picture of it lol

So i'm woundering because i think im going to stay away from any red in the housing at all. and because i cant paint the bottom part because it needs the chrome reflecting for the brights to work. can i paint the area of the turn signals? O and i think ill make it all black, expect that bottom area and the orange stripe on the side that i hate, maybe i just make that little part red......thoughts? I am going to start this once i get home in a few

The turn signal part would be fine because the only one that needs to see them are the people coming at you. The headlights are the only things that need the reflectors to reflect and focus the light to the front to magnify the beams.
