Was there anything particular you had them do to tint the tail lights (besides the basic answer of paint) or did they just have an idea of what you wanted and "winged" it?

1st one will be out of the oven. They will be a color called Stone Black, which is about a 40% gloss. Figured since they will be covered in brake dust, I don't want them shiny.

They had previously done the tail lights on my corvette when they did the custom paint job, so they basically knew what I wanted. just something dark, but not too dark to obscure the lights was all I told them.

First wheel powdercoated and ready for rubber (which is also in the garage now!)

Very nice, as expected. Are you going with the colored lip on these as well?

No, all black for these

sound clips:
I just installed the new Invidia Prototype exhaust, (Gemini) and I have Berk Test pipes.

With the stock exhauset the berks had some rasp. With the new exhaust, no rasp at all! These are iphone recordings. first from outside at idle and revving to what the car would let us, then a couple accelerating 0-80, windows up and down.

Overall, its an awesome sounding exhaust and not overly loud.

0-80 windows windows down
YouTube - 0-80 berk test pipes and invidia gemini, 370Z
the window down one didnt load, but there is absolutley no drone at all!

Glad you like them mike. I'm really surprised how good it sounds and how not overly loud they are even with test pipes.:tup:

I'm not sure if I have the same definition as rasp because I still hear that hiss at the end of a rev which is what I consider rasp..:confused:

Its got a tiny bit there in the idle clip, but thats with no load on the engine, (especially compared to test pipes only). In the car on the street there is none, and revving at idle is something I only did for the example video, not a regular thing.

Your z is pure sex my man.

That hiss is common once you have any HFC/TEST PIPE, that only occurs on deceleration. So far, all of the HFC and TEST PIPES we've installed has that mysterious HISS

why can't i see the photos????????
i also want to see them????? bad network....:( :(
