How'd this guy get his Z to glow like this?

Was looking through for some Zs for my friend and saw this one and it kinda shocked me lol. Never seen this before.

It's reflective vinyl, it's a tape similar to the reflective qualities of road signs.

Oh cool. So I'm assuming it'd be a pain in the *** to do it yourself? Or is it rather easy to tape on the car?

That looks like it would be VERY distracting while driving.

Totally legal and no different from any other vinyl application.

Trying not to go overboard is the hard part.

I did it on my R1 for other cars to have better visibility of me at night. It looked great.

Daylight.


Daylight with Flash:


I don't have any pics at night with flash, but it lit up really well. When not overdone it looks great.

I think the 370z is getting to Civic status faster than we thought.
