Pictures of my Z32 during a beautiful sunset...

We had a really nice sunset a few nights ago, so I snapped some pics. I have 3.2Megapixel version available upon request.

I didn't post these for negative comments, so if you have a problem with something I did to my car, keep it to yourself because it won't affect my opinion one way or another. I simply figured some people would appreciate some nice pictures of a clean 300ZX.

BELIEVE me, any time I dig through old pictures and come across one like this


it makes me wish the accident would've never happened. On the other hand, I never actually wanted a red sports car; they just attract too much police attention. I wanted a silver Z actually. Black is beautiful when it's clean, but this Z doesn't have the aura (or the sentimental value) that the red Z had. As a side story, it's a sinful blessing that the accident happened. I found out after the accident that the machine shop I used to machine that block did a bad job, and I needed a new engine anyway. If I had never been in the accident, I would've kept wondering why the dipstick was still popping out after a rebuild and I wouldn't have had another good engine to use. However, if Ultimate Z didn't offer to sell me the black Z at the price they did, I would've ended up fixing the red Z. Things just fell into place better with the black Z, so GET USED TO IT! lol

yeah. I'm currently checking around for the best prices on the parts to make them because I'm thinking of making them to sell to other Z owners (there were a lot of people who asked me to do that when I first posted pictures). I'd probably do a variety of colors (since legally, you can only have white or amber lights on the front of your car while driving... so I can't legally turn mine on while I'm driving because they're blue), and options with the packages (I'd sell completed headlights for a straight swap and have a core charge, as well as the completed rings for the person to take apart his own headlight and install it themselves).

I dig the halos. Start a separate post about them when you get rolling with the core/swap and DIY program.

Ok, I've been thinking about this and I've shown your pics to some of my friends. It's unanimous, we all agree that you need to do a how-to/write up on how to add the halos...please.

here's your writeup

do this
http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...&msg_id=927171

then take apart the headlight (8 little phillips screws holding on the metal brackets, use a heatgun to heat up the tar that holds the glass in, pry the glass off)

then do this

done
