I pick up my SS/SC sometime next week, it's Rally Yellow and I am really interested in the painted housings. My question is, should I go black or color match and have the 'Vette Z06 look. The black would make it eye caytching, but the yellow would make it flow w/ the car......any suggestions? I'm probably going to paint one yellow first to see what it looks like, but I will need the color code for Rally Yellow.

P.S. No worries, buying a pair off of Ebay to screw with.

Post on painted housing is here if you haven't seen it -->https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/got-pics-headlight-i-did-black-inner-housing-3476/

 

I wanted to paint mine red to go w/ my car but like you im not sure on how it would look. I know the black would look very nice.

If you go with yellow tell me how it look so i can go w/ red

 

I'll take a picture of the yellow housing on my car when it's done.....as long as someone can help me post it (never done it before)

 

On a yellow car I voted color matched . That would just look good on yellow . ~OR , a gunmetal housing to exactly match the wheels wouls look sweet too . On that bright color black would clash to much I think .

 

i think im gonna try doin it on mine, in a couple weeks and also try clearing out the turn signals

 

That would be the easiest part . Just leave out the out the removeable plastic amber lens on the parking light and use a amber bulb instead .

 

I was messing around with what I think I want my Orange SS to look like eventually. I really want to compliment the orange with black. I saw the painted headlights and thought it'd be sweet, but then I thought if I put a carbon fiber hood on my car, it might look dumb. Just curious to see what anyone thinks about the headlights and hood together. The windows are already done. But other than that the rest is up in the air.

def hood and lights

 

I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber hoods (too ricy), but the black rims with the black headlight housing will look great.

 

Yeah i just orded my Carbon Fiber SS hood for my SC/SS and for some reason these cars, just dont look right with a carbon fiber hood. I think i am going to paint mine, but will have to see after i get it on
