Akebono Upgrade, Headlight Retro Complete, & Side Blades On
 

A few weeks back, a buddy of mine, who runs Axis Automotive Lighting in the Tulsa, OK area, and myself opened up my headlights for a simple retrofit. The housing was colormatched, STI clear lens installed, and TRS's new products, RGB Demon Eyes and XSB LED Switchback Flex-Strips were put in. We placed an 18" and 3" in the headlight.

Unfortunately, after testing the strips to make sure they were good, installing, and mounting them in the car, they were turned on just to find out the 18" strip in the driver's side headlight did not work.



Finally, this past weekend (3-4 weeks later), we got the headlights all finished up with all LED accessories functioning.

We spent most of the day, however, installing the Akebono sport brakes.
After purchasing the calipers used off of a G37 and ordering the rest of the kit from Z1 Motorsports (amazing service and shipping time), I painted the calipers and added the 370Z lettering to them, before they set in my closet for two weeks before getting around to install..

Anyway, brake install went well with bleeding taking more time than we both expected. My CF side blades from Fly1 (also great service and faster turnaround than expected) were applied after the brakes and headlights were completed.

Nice, love the last pic!

Me too; I appreciate it!

Sweet drl look clean.

That's sick as ****...those lights.

Nice rotor size comparison, really shows the difference. Makes me want to do mine soon, maybe one day.. :rolleyes:

Also awesome looking Z!

No prob Adam; glad I could help. :tup:

Damn... I would pay you guys to do my headlights haha

love the headlights!
Was it hard to do?

If you were to ship your heads to Axis and find a set to run while they're built, it can be done.

These were not difficult for an experienced retrofitter, no. Everything was disassembled, prepped, painted, lens swap was done, demon eyes placed in the projector, and the strips laid down across the headlight whichever way you decide to apply it. The strips are flexible and come with 3M tape on the backside of them. To me, wiring is the hardest part.

Could you pm me about pricing and contact information? I Mightdo it this winter as snow doesn't fair well with the Z. I'm in Kansas of that makes aa differenc.

Absolutely it helps. That way, you may be able to travel to Keith to have these done in a day instead of shipping and what not. I'll get in touch with you.

nice work dude!!! :tup:

Looks great man! Jesus I'm jelly of those wheels
