Default Pics of Silver Z's?

I just got my new silver Z28 today and its painfully stock looking. I need some ideas of how to make the exterior look nicer. Post up some pics of your silver Z28 or pics of other people's silver Z's you might have

You can clean up your headlights, search and you will find the way to make them look like new. I also reccomend painting the chrome part of your headlights black, it looks killer on a silver car.

Did painting the light housings take away from the brightness of your lights at night? I am thinking about doing that, but I'd rather have something bright then something that looks good.
