That is sweet man, it's hard to tell it is the same red Z, in your sig! And if I remember right, those are Skyline taillights correct? Anyway that Z will look killer after you get the body finished, and painted. Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys. Its been so long since she has been one solid colour. hahaha. Granted it is only primer, its nice to not have to worry about people mistaking the paint w/primer as some sort of screwed up camo job. I found out about the tail lights through a local automotive dealer in the south bay and they recomended these. I had orginaly wanted to go to a bigger diameter, Skyline or C6, but my bugdet and the availability swayed me towards these.

Haha, I did the exact same thing. I mean, why spend hundreds of dollars when these work just as well and can be had for about $30/set. Mine is done being painted, but I just haven't had time to install/wire the lights yet. Are yours grounded through the lights' housing, or do they have an actual ground wire coming out of them?

Funny thing is, even though I've had my Turbo back for a few weeks, I haven't even taken any pics of it. I've just had it sitting in the garage the whole time while the paint fully cures. I just haven't had time to finish up all the wiring. I've mainly been working on moving the power network I set up in my original NA, over to the Turbo. But soon though; I hope to get some good wrenching time in this weekend. ^__^

Take it out in the sun. It'll cure faster and more thoroughly with a few days of good sunlight on it.
