I wasn't sure of the color at first either but it has grown on me looks a lot better after getting rid of the silver In my opinion. And thank you, your Z is sick!

Sorry, it will be a while for the front bumper I backed out all they had left were carbon fiber I really wanted one but I did not seeing spending the extra for the carbon when I planned to paint the mouth matte black. Sad day :(

I figured since I had to take this out to remove my tail lights I would take a few pics.

As you can see I had to router the housing to make the lights fit right but the results were worth the effort.

My OCD has been driving me nut how I can see the wires for my L.E.D panel through the dome lights. So I decided to try and make them less visible I wrapped the wires in white electrical tape. What do you guys think?

Before

After
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps96704ef6.jpg
The L.E.Ds wrapped outside the car.
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps05ff38f2.jpg
One of those small things I think makes a difference.

Zerocool 03-29-2014 09:38 PM

A lot better. I would have gone crazy being able to see the red wiring.

Dont see many people do the dome light cover. Very nice!

Like_a_boss 06-06-2014 11:57 PM

I don't know why not, I personally think it looks good. But I'm not really for plastic pieces there will be a good amount of alcantara to come. I can't wait to see the quality that everyone has told me about Tony's work I can say he has amazing customer service I don't think it ever took him 5 minutes to reply to a text.
