How'd this guy get his Z to glow like this?

Was looking through for some Zs for my friend and saw this one and it kinda shocked me lol. Never seen this before.

It's reflective vinyl, it's a tape similar to the reflective qualities of road signs.

Oh cool. So I'm assuming it'd be a pain in the *** to do it yourself? Or is it rather easy to tape on the car?

I think the simpler question is - Why?

Haha I think it looks decent. I mean I can see where it might be too much but me personally i think it's decent and would stand out in the crowd

That looks like it would be VERY distracting while driving.

I wonder if they're legal

zeus37 · 04-01-2015, 01:40 PM

Totally legal and no different from any other vinyl application.

Trying not to go overboard is the hard part.

I did it on my R1 for other cars to have better visibility of me at night. It looked great.

Daylight.

Daylight with Flash:

I don't have any pics at night with flash, but it lit up really well. When not overdone it looks great.

That's clean! Where'd you buy your tape? Definitely gonna do it

I think the 370z is getting to Civic status faster than we thought.

You see here with Exhibit A, this is why we can't have nice things.
