DIY Headlight mods

next, here comes the HARDEST part. You guessed it right, opening the HEADLIGHT!! i used both Simota's and Digitonium's DIY and these took me about 1 and a half days to open!! :shakes head:

I didnt take pictures when i pried the headlights as im too busy opening them and my hand's all messed up with all those greases from the bolts and nuts :p

after 1 1/2 days, i've successfully removed them!! thank god i didnt screwed up! :happydance:

at first, i'm thinking of only blacking it out but then the ideas come to me and i tried all of them and come out with these! i look at Alex's and Igor's work for my inspiration :tup: thanks to both of you guys :tiphat:

blacking out the housing :

Enjoy! :tup:

its ok bro :tup: once you do put it on itll make you happy and i always love the anticipation on putting on parts

Great journal. Keep up the posts and super nice work.

What is that overlay in the rear license place cove with your cars name on it? Something you had custom made or ordered?

Yeah i can't wait to install them. the anticipation is killing me lol

Thanks bro!

That is not an overlay in fact it is an acrylic plate license that i told one of the installer to design it like that.

Mods added.
 

As to let everyone know, i've traded my AAM short tail and Swift spec R spring with one of my friend and he's a regular member on this forum (KembayauZ). Now i'm using his Invidia Gemini's CBE. I've also installed Stillen Gen 3 intake and 34 row oil cooler that i bought from Z1. I've also ordered H&R spring from one of my fav vendors @Kris of 370ZTune. Here's the pics :tup:

Yeay parts!

Stillen Generation 3 cold air intake
 

Let's start with the Gen 3 shall we, i bought this directly from Z1 motorsports. Thanks to Dustin, John and Shanna of Z1 motorsports for making it easy to get them. I went with a custom coupler to complete my red themed engine bay look :tup: so, without further ado, i'll just let the pics do the talking :icon17:

Thank's pretty much it. As i've stated in my other thread i've encountered with an error with CEL lights up and the engine kept on shutting it self. My mechanic had found the solution and the car is now running better that ever! :tup:

Z1 34 Ror oil cooler & Invidia cbe
 

After a couple of days installing the Gen 3, i went to the same place and installed the oil cooler and the cbe, replacing my AAM short tail.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7141/6...55d2fea8_z.jpg

and yeah, i forgot to mentioned that i've also changed the engine oil & filter since the oil cooler is already installed. My previous oil is Shell Helix Ultra fully synthetic and oem filter and my installer recommended HKS super racing 10W 35 fully synthetic oil with hks filter and amazingly, they feels much better!!
