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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!
