Ok I have to admit Im growing more towards this mod

Rickey89 · 12-08-2009, 04:15 PM

how hard would it be to wire in a switch? is that something that you can just have made when you get the mod? sorry if these are noob questions but electrical is not my forte....

Caravanshaka · 12-08-2009, 04:17 PM

if you are local to him I think he offers it, but in reality it shouldn't be too hard.

Need to run a wire either directly from the battery or from the fusebox that is hot at all times, run that to a switchin the dash (I suggest that pad where heated seats switches are in the touring), then run that wire up to the front to the lights.

Thanks caravan, yes you are absolutely correct. For my headlights we ran it into a drop in switch in the seat warmer panels. Also thanks for user M.J. posting a thread about this drop in switch. Here are some pics from his thread:

We will be offering this switch with all our orders with instructions on how to install them onto your vehicle (if you are not local)

Rickey89 · 12-08-2009, 10:38 PM

pretty cool in regards to the switch and instructions included for us electrical newbs

Just let us know when your ready, we go by appointments ideally we work on 1-3 headlights per week!! PM if you want to know pricing!

motoextreme · 12-09-2009, 12:24 AM

I've been PM'ing him for days. Not only is he doing my lights next week in all black (and screw it, LED's too even know I wasn't going to) but he's helping me with a bunch of other Mods.

This guy is one hell of a vendor!

I have to make it up to you man...I'm in HK next month again, maybe I can get one of our factories to make some crazy laser sh#$ or?? One of our new spy items uses a TINY little camera, make your own rearview system? Getting a little crazy here but if you start thinking out of the box all you need to do is drop me a note and I'll get you what you need!

Can't thank this guy enough..

Marco_xyz · 12-09-2009, 01:44 AM

Thank you Adam!!! I just want your car too look hawt!!!

motoextreme · 12-09-2009, 02:09 AM

Yap it was a pleasure working on your headlight set. Marco and I would love to see them on your ride. Hope you had a very nice vacation. It's funny Marco and I know people on this forum by location. While we were working on them we kept referring your headlights Vegas. Good times.

Nice gallery Caravan

We have many photographs of MR Matte Black, Satin Black, and Gloss Black. Currently we are working on special set for Texas hint hint.

Very close, our client from Canada did his in K51. DJcuetip was similar but totally custom. Had had a custom PPG pint mixed which we sprayed a one off Lamborghini Gunmetal. The material was quite expensive but turned out beautiful.

That's our custom MR Matte Black set that we did for a local Socal San Diego member Jeremy. Very nice guy and a pleasure to work with. I here he will be having some future plans done to his vehicle I can't wait to see the progress.

Thanks Caravan. This is one major reason why we are offering the switches for those who want it. With the safety switch you have the convenience to shut them off and on.

Could be a bit tricky if it's your first time but it's not hard at all.

Right now this is how we ran Marco's on his Z. We are testing another option as we speak but with his car being prototyped for stage 3. And it's a few hundred miles away, it's not so easy to visit the vehicle everyday. In the near future we will be offering a sponsorship on a future product that we have yet to test so keep posted everyone.

These switches go well with the Z's interior they belong in this location.

Caravanshaka · 12-09-2009, 07:41 AM

Pics look good guys! I'm impressed your offering the shaved dimples, thats a good bit of finishing work with body filler to smooth them out. Not sure if I am a fan of the yellow shrouds though, I think I'd go all black if I had a yellow car to avoid the "bumble-bee" comments, lol.

koeppelnissan · 12-09-2009, 11:06 AM

Looking forward to getting the matte black on a roadster. They should be here in a day or so!

molamann · 12-09-2009, 11:15 AM

is it possible I drive to your shop and get everything knocked out at once? If yes, how many hours will it take?
