Mmm, seems a few other people are also not getting any response from Igor and the shop; I'll try to stop by on Friday to see what's up with them/if they're still alive.

370Zsteve 03-27-2010 03:21 PM

I love the work these guys do...and hate the unresponsiveness I've seen as well.

shawnal 03-27-2010 04:06 PM

Cant wait to find out what happenned to Igor such talent to go to waste

370Zsteve 04-02-2010 07:48 PM

^^^ saw shawnal's car man the LEDs are sweet wtf Igor where are you dude :shakes head:

k20z3 04-02-2010 07:50 PM

Wow superb work!

waaaasabi 04-03-2010 07:22 PM

I stopped by the shop today. Igor is still there, but right now it's just him working; he has no support for now, so he's swamped. He said he has a ton of personal things to take care of as well, which explains his absence from the scene in the past couple of months. But yeah, he's still alive:tup:

NewYorkJon34 04-03-2010 10:18 PM

Damn what Beautiful Pictures, IM so confused on what color set-up to go with? I have a Pearl White Z, My friend(seeyabud 86) has the same car and painted his lights all matt black, it looks sick but i wanna be alil different. What do you guys think look the best?: pearl white headlights w/black accents like bullitts car, black headlights w/pearl white accents like drew's car, or just all matt black like seeyabud 86's car?

bullitt5897 04-04-2010 12:49 AM

I say be the first to do all white ;)

NewYorkJon34 04-04-2010 09:22 AM

That's exactly what my friend said, I saw that PS shop picture you did bullitt, the one where it looks like yours but with a white reflector and thought that looked sick. Can you PS me the same pic but with white shrounds*, it's just a matter of if I should paint the shrounds black like you did or just Pearl White?

blackbird 04-04-2010 09:28 AM

Does changing the colors of the reflector do anything to take away from the lighting? I'd look at a matte black on Magnetic black car. Just asking here.

Apparently Stoof has been on hiatus, but will be returning to the shop next week. His G is absolutely sick; I saw it a few times around Brooklyn before I met him and it always turned my head. When I met him and we were talking about cars, it totally surprised me he was the driver haha.

He's going carbon fiber crazy. Did you see his new CF trunk...looks good!

Hey Jon,

I can do it when I have free time but as of right now I'm swamped with work but i will try to do one for you soon :tup:

NewYorkJon34 04-04-2010 07:04 PM

Your the best bro, ya my e-mail is NewYorkJon34@Yahoo.com, I'm pretty much decided on doing mine white, it's gonna be my b-day present to myself, just unsure what it will look like all white, also you think I should go with a satin or matt black in the housing?

Thanks for shipping my lights to me in time for ZdayZ. I realize the change of office or shop hurt the time frame you had to do my lights with but you got them to me in time and they where a hit! see pics. Chris Columbus,Ohio 370z blue vert.

Zerafian 12-08-2010 06:41 PM

nice work

bullitt5897 12-08-2010 06:49 PM

nice work great to see a fellow 180 customer :tup:

ONEighty 12-09-2010 02:57 PM

Thanks Chris, it was my pleasure. If you can, post up some pics outside, I didn't have time to take pictures of the all silver housings since i had to get it mailed to you in lightening speed haha.

Thanks Zerafian and Mike, gotta hit you up btw.

USMCASA 12-09-2010 03:10 PM

whats the turn around on these?

bullitt5897 12-09-2010 03:29 PM

Mine was the very first set ever done and it was less than 2 weeks... :tup:

NewYorkJon34 12-09-2010 04:45 PM

Im down to 4 choices for my car: all matte black, gun metal similar to stormcrow's nismo, all white or something like bullitts car. Any one have a suggestion of what will look better on a white Z, im bad with certain decisions, lol

kenchan 12-09-2010 04:53 PM

id do the all matte black or CF.

Jessobear 12-09-2010 07:23 PM

Has anyone ever done these in a "smoked" for lack of a better word? What I mean is that the stock lights are shiny chrome and all the custom ones I've seen are a solid color. I'm talking about something like when the IS300 went from the original chrome taillights to the darker ones.

chuckd05 01-27-2011 01:43 AM

Digging this up but I am doing that to my rear tail lights before this summer comes...

They are going to do my headlights in matte black ( no leds or anything ) and my rear tail lights smoked, but on the inside, like the lexus picture.. Im not a fan of spraying the outside of the light, I feel as if spraying the inside is a much cleaner more OEM look...

Pricing is very reasonable as well... I will post pics but will not be until the end up March most likely.

kielbasa16 01-28-2011 09:22 AM

Im also going to get in contact with 180 this spring. Not sure what color combination I want yet though, my car is black. Alot of the examples Ive seen with black housings sort of get lost a bit on black cars.

TypeOne 01-28-2011 01:03 PM

Still waiting for someone to make them look like this...

What about a darker shade of silver/grey, just so the headlights do not pop out so much...

for 160 for a headlight paint job you cant go wrong.. they gaurantee there work and have seen countless awesome jobs come out of there so Id rather give that little bit of money than tackle it with the DIY..

Grey with paint matched shrouds ( few extra bucks ) would look good on black i think...

Also, PM me , maybe we can go together... I am doing the headlights and tails.. he was telling me that he takes the headlights out and you can drive home without them... but I cant drive home without tails... I was planning on taking a cab to the train station but if you are going to go too, I will just do it at your leisure and take care of your gas... LMK!

I was thinking of dark grey/gunmetal as well, and painting the door handles someday to match as opposed to body matching the handles.

As for getting there and back, if indeed Im ok driving with no headlights then Id be happy to give you lift, no gas compensation necessary. Would you have to leave the Z there then?

SPOHN 01-28-2011 04:18 PM

Mine are there now. Can't wait. Matte black housing with gun matallic shrouds and the amber colored reflector will also be GM. Not positive, but these might be the first GM headlights out there. I defiantly going to get the door handles done also. I should of talked to 180 about this.

SPOHN 01-28-2011 08:53 PM

I already know it. It's KAD.
