Had a fender bender and wanted to commit harry carry... some scuffs on my rear bumper, etc. Finally got to wash her and use a claybar and only one tiny bump is visible now. That is some voodoo magic but happy again.

I put in an insurance claim for CYA anyway... now thinking won't need it.

Installed the OEM hood onto my car. My VIS vented hood is going to a friend with a TTZ (guru if you old heads remember him).

TrackSpec center vent is on the way as well as a carbon gurney flap. Seb is doing his magic wrapping up my tune. Turns out your rear O2s will mess with with it. I should have fixed them instead of ignoring it the whole time lmao.

Down the line will be some craft squares (i miss the small f1 style mirrors, though 2023 means the F1 mirrors will be bigger than my OEM haha!). I will also go with some MCR Canards to finish up the front end.

I found a 3d printer who made these for me as well. Really cleans up the strut bar mount area.

Also, installed lighted rear Nissan emblem.

Can you print and sell me a set of the caps? I'll paint mine

Figured I better get this done before winter hits...

Used this:

Basically - pretty easy process: tape off area; sand with 400 and 600 grit (I think I did a minimum of 20-30 minutes of sanding per light); wipe off, then alcohol wipe; then UV clear coat spray -

** What's unique about this kit - is that the UV coating is activated by the sun, so you have to have the car out in the sun when you go to spray it **

A few shots, I'll give it about a 8.5-9 / 10... not OEM perfect, but much better than the nasty yellowing that was making it's way down the light from the top. Part of this is my fault - I forgot to tape them off a while back when buffing out the paint to prep for ceramic...so until I started parking outside I didn't realize I'd accidently caused some of the problem:

markesc · 10-16-2022, 03:08 PM

So - beats paying $1400 for new lights... I still am on the fence paying for those morimotos... I almost would rather have the newer OEM blacked out lights...

So this is my $30 fix... "allegedly" it should last a few years.

I also bought the kit from Sylvania but I did not use it as there are a few reviews showing that you get to redo everything after 12-18 months...

ZontheRocks · 10-16-2022, 04:07 PM

Looks good!

I’d rather have stock black out than morimoto, but still not in my list of things I’d pay $1600 for. Lol

markesc · 10-16-2022, 08:09 PM

I agree completely... well maybe I'll get those next year perhaps...

Now I'm tempted to sand/refinish the DRLs....
