I love your car! Well done.

First set of SA-55M's that fit the car IMO

Thank you!!!

I was a little apprehensive to get them at first, but I figured it was worth a shot. I love concave wheels and have had them on every car I could fit them on.

There aren't many people that run them on 370s, although it is a popular wheel for EVO / STi drivers.

I should have more little updates coming soon... I'm going to attempt to pull my headlights apart tonight for a little subtle modification.

+1 Its so hard to get those wheels to look good on any car!

They fit nicely on the Z though!

Get out of my thread you! :stirthepot:


Anyway, thanks guys!

I did a little more work yesterday smoking my reflectors in my headlights. I don't like the painted housing look (no offense to anyone that has it) but I think it makes the lights look cheesy and obviously modified.

So last night I pulled my lights out and pulled them apart to smoke the reflector inside of the housing. It came out really well and I didn't screw anything up!

I'm uploading pics right now so I'll have them posted in a few.

It took about 5 hours from start to finish, would have taken longer if I were painting other parts.

Many thanks to ur post. I love it.

Boost_lee 07-13-2011 12:13 AM

looks great

I originally wanted to smoke my lights, but couldn't find a good paint to use. Which did you end up picking?

Well, I used VHT night shades to smoke my reflectors... not really a smoke because it's nearly black. However, I can say that in direct sunlight, you can you still see a little sparkle through it.

I have been wanting to black chrome my housings but that is apparently hard to do and do it evenly. If I ever decide to pull them apart again, I might try it.
