I meant that I would only have to swap out the lens with one from a used headlight assembly.

Not sure if that piece is different for each side of the headlight (i.e. left/right headlight), but the one that I will need to replace is the one on the right (passenger's side). Probably won't be buying one anytime soon, but if I do I'll let you know.

and I could buy/get the piece that I need from that headlight assembly.

Yeah, no problem, definitely not in a rush.

Off topic: blades, you have swift springs on ur car right? Can u tell me who installed it and how much? Thanks man

Installed mostly by Kirkster with a bit of help from me. Price? A box of krispy kreme donuts :icon17:

I'm kinda getting the itch to do 15mm/20mm H&R spacers BUT the nismo wheels require new studs which is apparently a huge pain in the ***

I think the stud replacement type spacers are usually the safer option though.

I really need to look into getting my parts installed..:roflpuke2:

Gonna do the powder on my wheels first then the exhaust in Nov and then look into spacers. I don't think I want to do coilovers with the FI exhaust on the car because y'know..sometimes there are speed bumps.

speed bumps & pot holes are bad:icon17:

:iagree:

hahaha... i was waiting for you or ron to chime in.

Oh, i forgot to mention I picked up the Viper 5704 Security System on craigslist for an excellent price today.

Good thing about coilovers is that they're adjustable :tup:

:iagree: I'd want to do coils over springs for this reason, but I think I'm going to remain stock where that's concerned for a while.

Im thinking I start a thread for a mod party at my house, to install springs, and rear camber arms..i'd buy lunch and provide beer to all that attended.

Here's pics of the damage on my headlights

Hey shado, im gonna return the rep love once im off my 24hr freeze... thanks buddy.

Which reminds me, I still need to rep you for your help from that day. Just did it now, but forgot to sign my name. :tup:

Thanks brother, I appreciate that!

Yeah I've looked at ground clearance with those "18 resonators on the exhaust and I'm better off not dropping the car. Even those scrape plates you mentioned are not guaranteed protection from an impact.

I doubt the nismo set up in this regard is different. Spacers w/ stud replacement is easy. I just followed this DIY http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...t-spacers.html

if you're comfortable peeling apart your headlights (which I am not) this install should be a cake walk imo.

yikes blades :( that lens got destroyed lol

you've gotta learn to avoid the potholes and speedbumps! or just be very careful. You can scrape ALOT before your resonator actually cracks, but if you're not careful all it takes is one heavy impact and you've got a problem

Talk to birdmanx1, he has a Nismo dropped on swifts with the same exhaust. I don't think he really has that many issues with scraping.

Yeah...... :(

Yup no issues at all, you just need to be careful not taking huge speedbumps. You'll actually scrape the bottom part of the front bumper more than anything else. :tiphat:

:shakes head: Hate when that happens! Luckily I have no visible damage....so far. :icon14:

Update on my headlight blemish: Have an appointment with Kevin at D&V Saturday, 10/6 to buff it out. Will post pictures afterwards.

Are you sure that's damage? It looks like you just got really really excited about how nice the lights turned out.

[QUOTE=Roadster4Us;1933247]:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Totally understandable.

:iagree:

Im just careful in general when I drive my Z.. I pretty much baby it..:icon17::tup:

Silver Lining:
Put the allweather cover on the car last night and decided to perform the condensation "acid test" and left it out in the rain.

No condensation at all this morning.

(woot)

Thats awesome man, but the REAL test would be spraying your engine bay down with a hose, then testing it, thats how you really find out if you did a good job with that sealant. Thats what i did.

My car's been through all the days of rain we've had and goes through that car wash every day at work. Luckily no condensation. :tup:

I've also realized that the headlight damage is not really noticeable if you're not paying attention to or looking for it.

Hey blades, is your cousin happy with his lights?

Wouldn't that be true for anything if your not paying attention to it? Especially if you aren't looking at it. Fat chicks can be sexy....if you don't look at them. See where I'm going with this? :icon14:

Yeah.....especially since his were the only ones that didn't get melted that day :bowrofl:

I meant that even when you're looking at the front of the car, you might not notice it unless you're looking directly at it. You can't tell from a distance either and probably not on the road.
