Purchase Day: 6-5-2010
![]() ![]() ![]() I purchased the car used from CarMax with 6,000 miles on the vehicle. Couldn't be happier with my purchase decision. First thing I did to the car was change out the interior, cargo, and rear license plate lights with an LED kit from a forum vendor. I also went ahead and got rid of the egg yolk rear taillight look by installing some stealth turn signals. ![]() I also purchased some LEDs for the reverse lights so they matched all the other lighting on the vehicle. ![]() ![]() 6-10-2010 Purchased an Escort Passport radar and the stationary Z mount. I hardwired the radar and placed the remote mute button on one of the button blanks near the cup holder. I love this mod, 100% useful. 6-27-2010 20% tint installed on all 5 windows 6-30-2010 Installed my GTR start button - another one of those small mods that makes a huge difference. 7-11-2010 I couldn't stand the OEM headlights any longer and went ahead and blackhoused mine. I've done several sets in the past, so I wasn't very intimidated on this project and I think it came out well. ![]() Went with semi-flat black on the housing. Sprayed "chrome" spray paint on the shrouds just to give the silver a tiny shine. I used VHT niteshades on the amber swoosh also. 7/21/2010 Got my custom plates for the car. (seen below) 8/1/2010 Installed the retractable front plate (Show-N-Go) in the grill area. Also posted up a DIY for this install. ![]() ^ click for video 8/6/2010 Installed Shine Auto Rear Add ons, Blue batmobile rear overlay, Rear fog light, and a Fairlady Z badge ![]() Lovin the rear end of the car

8/5/10
Got my Blackstone oil analysis back from my first oil change. Since I bought the car used, I was worried about break-in procedures from the previous owner. Results look good ![]() For this oil change, I went with Pennzoil Ultra 10w-30 and a PureOne filter. |

Nice! So did you have the add ons painted or did they come pre painted?

Nice, where can i get these? I might get them as I am doing the front and side Nismo conversion but not doing the rear bumper for a while. That looks like it would match pretty well.

Changed the headlights a few minutes ago. Went with 6K bulbs from ddmtuning and I installed the LED parking lights that I purchased from christian370z
I'm liking the outcome stock ![]() 6k with led parking lights ![]() comparison ![]() I'm glad they do not look too blue, they have a very slight tint only. I would say they are about the same color as most quality rear led license plate bulbs |
