Panamera Shroud Retrofit ? ? ?

zhopa · 11-24-2014, 04:43 PM

Has anyone ever done this on the 370Z? I've seen it on G37s before but never on a 370.

Oh please no! That was the late 90s when they did the Supra taillights on Civics, and R34 front ends on Accords. No please, don't go there. It's gaudy.

Lol I don't think so. To each his own I guess. I think of it to be a pretty tasteful mod.

I like the 4 racing style DRL's on the projector shroud. Do that on the stock 370z headlights

Here it is on my boys M37.

It can be done... Just has not been popular. You will need to drill 4 holes in the shroud and use a super flux led. Can be found here: 12V LED - Pre-wired Waterproof SuperFlux LEDs

I super glue them in then use silicon sealant to seal in behind the led.

ive done a few panamera shrouds for people in the last few years . those things are huge and always a serious headache to install . i honestly dont think they can be fit in the z headlights in a decent looking way .

bullitt5897 · 11-25-2014, 02:58 AM

I have done several and it is a very tight fit. Required a lot of massaging of the shroud on the back to get it to sit perfect. Same for the runway strip.

they actually will fit and look decent ? im suprised . ive used them mostly in motorcycle headlights for guys with double halos and they work decent on them but ida never guessed that they would actually look decent in z headlights .

What shrouds would you recommend for the 370Z, guys?

I'm looking at putting a halo behind the shroud to bleed through, so maybe an Apollo or Gatling Gun shroud.
