The devices are fitted low on the body, close to the wheels. As the vehicle approaches the curb, the protruding 'feelers' act as whiskers and scrape against the curb, making a noise and alerting the driver in time to avoid damaging the wheels or hubcaps. The feelers are manufactured to be flexible and do not easily break.

Where I grew up in the '60's they were very popular.

I saw them on a 350Z the other day. They looked terrible. The lights are too big and look like it's a Pep Boys stick-on.

they look just like the GT-R ones that MSRP for like $1400 . wonder how much they will be for the Z

in japan the skyline sedan G37 has them as an option now aswell but i think those are only 4 LED unlike the 5 LED on the Z and 6 on the GTR.
would have to see them in person not sure about the placement for the Z. on the GTR i love them but cant justify the cost not to mention you need to take the front bumper off to install

here is what they look like for the GTR. while the mounting is differnt im sure they are in essence very similar

they look awesome!!! looooooooove them to death.............NOT

Not a good looking accessory for the Z in that zone. The gap between each LED is not proper, imo.
Anyway, if someone likes it, great.

wow, this post really took off!

I don't care for them myself, and I am done with cosmetic mods, unless I do them myself for free, but I have never seen an actual factory accessory get this much negative response!

A single strip of small LEDs across the bottom would look better.
