im not an underbody kit fan, i like to keep it simple. but some people love it, so its only you who can decide.

I think done distastefully (as with all things) it will look shitty, but if done tastefully, it can add some flair...

ok I did a yellow one today, doesnt look as yellow as I hoped.

its more of a orange-yellow. it is much lighter and more obviously yellow color than the stock amber color, but still has an small orange hue in it.

nonthless, I have a set of red and a set of blue ready to be sold, 2theextreme (blue) and Phelan (red) get dibs first, if nothing then i'll put it up for sale.

I'm still gonna stick with the blues myself, when the times right...

Shunya 08-04-2009 08:19 AM

wow the red looks good!
but my idea of pink is super!
if there's pink it's a must! and extra pair for back ups :D

Payment made! Might get lucky and have them installed by Friday! If so, I'll be sure to have some nighttime pics for ya'll. ;)

ok, im done with getting all the colors compiled, all of the kick plates in these pictures are for sale.

I also have a red one thats not in very good shape, I accidentally bent the aluminum on the drivers side, and bent it back into shape, but you can see the ripples at certain angles - i'll sell this one for 100 dollars flat. the passengers side is in perfect condition.

I also have 5 untouched kick plates which I can alter to your choice of color, just let me know what color you want. I can also do green, which is not in the pictures - I did not do it because I don't suspect many, if anyone, to want green.

send me a PM if your interested in buying,
The final prices I have decided to sell them at are as follows:
200 dollars SHIPPED.
if you already have kick plates, send me your kick plates and i'll subtract 140 dollars from the 200.

**keep in mind the colors shown in the pictures do not show how deep the colors are - they are much more solid, such as the blue is a very solid strong blue, the red is more of a blood red, and yellow is deeper- i just couldn't capture it with my camera.**

Dibs on red! :D

jookiyaya 08-07-2009 04:45 PM

the blood red looks great, only if it was a little redder on the pearl white. ^_^ is the blue the white led? looks real frosty!

Cjanik 08-07-2009 06:19 PM

the top blue is the dark blue, I have yet to capture its true dark blue color - it looks so darn light blue in the pictures but oh well, maybe 2theextreme will post pictures with the correct hue of blue when he installs them!.


the white is the bottom of the bunch, it actually is a little frosty looking, I see it as more of a very light grey color. I think it would look so good on a silver/PG car.

jookiyaya 08-07-2009 09:32 PM

i gotta say cjanik... thats still sick! yeah i agree, the frosty white would look real clean on a silver/pg z. but as for me, ive been so partial to championship white and the classic red honda emblem for the itr, the blood red is for me lol. i cant wait until i get my z in sept.. sheesh ^_^

Shunya 08-08-2009 03:41 AM

frosty looking eh? then Frosty is gunna need a pair

Shunya 08-11-2009 02:21 AM

Now I have a question. Why couldn't you just put on one side or the other of the clear z logo a led shining onto the Z logo? It would not bee seen and probably would be brighter as well.

Cjanik 08-11-2009 02:10 PM

What are you refering to?

-edit- are u refering to the pictures in the original diy post? If so i did not do that becase i did not have right angle smd leds at the time. The kick plates im making up are all right angle leds and face the logo. they are not brighteR though because the inside of the logo is all chrome and the light bounces all around.
