His title says "...on black cars"

All the black cars I've seen do not have the headlight pockets done separately.

Re: Headlamp pockets on black cars
The headlight pockets are a satin black on all Z28s. I've not been able to find the exact replacement, but others here have. There are pictures of original low mile black cars on the History forum to prove that they were all painted the same satin finish. Do a search over there. I even posted a pic at one time.
