$150 for paint, $250 for the lense swap + shipping.

They look good, but they don't really flow with your car.

I think the lights look great and they flow well.

Your lenses are very clean- mine are all scratched up and really detracts from the paint. I've gotta refinish them sometime soon and make them clean like yours.

I just came across a picture on here of a orange porsche with blacked out headlights just like this, but he painted the projector housing the same color of the car. Wonder how that would look on the z, looked good on the porsche.
