Default Paint is finished! (56k death)

As many of you have seen in my other post HERE my car has been in the process of getting painted. Well, its finally finished as of last weekend, so here are some pics. It would be completely assembled again if we didnt get 18 inches of snow sunday . Should I keep the headlight buckets the same color as the car, or return them to how they came stock? I'm stuck in the middle and cant really decide. Feel free to give your opinions.

Looks great dude, have never cared for the green on fbody's but this car looks sweet, especially with the black graphics. If it were me I'd leave the light whatever you called them like they are, makes it unique.

Actually since my car is a B4C (V-6 style body) the roof came body color, the black top would have been an option considering its not a "real" Z28 . Also I wanted the ZL1 stlyle stripe to follow through from the hood - top - deck lid/spoiler.

I Think U Should Paint The Headlights Black, In My Opinion I Think It Would Look Better Since U Painted The Scoop Black.
