Front offset is +25, 18x9.

that will stick out especially when looked at from the front.

for 9" width, you want to be +32 ideally at stock height. if you plan to lower it, +25 should look okay.

blinking red lights is kinda annoying... especially at night and bright.

some bikers had them and i got so annoyed, wanted to smash into them to shut the damn lights off. :mad: :p :icon17:

kenchan 12-18-2013 02:36 PM

problem with blinking lights is that i tend to loose the sense of distance. that's one of the main reasons why they are so annoying. i have to work harder to determine my distance.

Haha you know it can function as a fog light like it was meant to be :ugh2:

IMO to have it blink or come on when breaking is kind of a waste/ricy. Better off to just wire it up with the simple on-off. Being a Canadian model I have the switch on the turn signal stock so it was easy. Basically just upgraded my OEM fog to one with LEDs :tup:

I've used it for less than 10 times for the last 2 years...

to be honest.. if they can't see your tail-light, the fog light won't be much better.... :icon17:

the fog lamp is significantly brighter, and it being low to the ground, sometimes you get more visibility than up high. :D

It was an easy mod and doesn't look rice-y if you do it the way it was intended: http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...tml#post502524

It's as bright or maybe even 50% brighter than a brake light. Comparing it to regular tail lights is inaccurate.
I've followed my own car and I can say it's very visible in inclement weather.

not saying the fog light is useless but just saying a lot of times when I am driving in heavy fog I can see the tail-light of the front car no problem...


just saying... guyz easy on me please... :wtf2:

kenchan 12-18-2013 03:54 PM

cant afford real parts?

no problem, just photochop. :tup: :ugh:

Pintsize725 12-18-2013 03:54 PM

Front offset set to +30. Hopefully that's the last change.

kenchan 12-18-2013 03:55 PM

why 30 not 32 that i recommend? are you trying to tell me something, ms.pint? :mad: :icon17:

kenchan 12-18-2013 03:56 PM

i suppose we can always photoshop it +32 later. :p

What'd you go with Tracie?

Edit: nevermind. I searched. F14. Enjoy!

happytheman 12-18-2013 09:45 PM

Cleaning the lint trap out this evening and guess what decided to pop off and roll into the bowels of the dryer? Yup, my custom made wedding band!

Ill have you know that I became an incredibly quick study of dryer disassembly 101! :eek:

Guess this is what I get for losing 70'lbs. :(
