Default I went to have my Z06 vinyl-wrapped, and forgot the headlights are painted!

I have a velocity yellow C6z, and I decided I wanted to change up the color with a new grey wrap. I took it in today and suddenly realized that the headlights are yellow inside. Those of you with color-matched headlights - how have you dealt with a color change or wrap? Open them and paint them? I considered leaving them, but I think yellow headlights on a grey car would look odd. Any experiences or ideas?

I’d say open them up and paint them black. That way it would look good with any color, or if you remove the wrap and go back to yellow, you don’t have grey headlights.

You're correct! Scottsdale to be exact.

Anything but tinting them. Makes the car look cheap. Get some black lights from RL Sebring. I paid $1250.00
for a black set and theyre better than factory new ones.
