I love the overlay! Hook a brother up! Lights look amazing also, MR works? I prefer that style over the landing strip LEDs. :tup:

Jebus bro! You wanna trade cars? Haha, did you do the DRLS yourself too? The overlay looks great too. I don't like the glare that comes off it when the sun hits it...

does that side clear if you remove those details?

and dude...ease up on the heat, those weld beads are humongous :p

Its not enough that simota is spending all his money on parts, but now he is taking the free time of looking for the house on the car. I am gonna keep looking in your local paper to make sure you dont end up on the dead pages.

That overlay looks great. That ugly silver gauge was always something that I've been irritated about the Z.

The greddy DRLs also look very sharp:tiphat:

:bowrofl:yah it clears... i got the highest side on the top and the lowest side on the bottom..... basically drew a line across / <<< like that from the bottom point to the top point.... :happydance:... about the welds... i have no idea how to weld small lol there about 1/4 size :tup: so not to huge... i do however have two welds on the bottom that are about 3/8 big.... :facepalm: this happened because of a mad gap between the aluminum pieces which was my error LMAO... sooooo i just made the weld huge to cover it up hahahahahaah its ok though cuz that part is hidden..... :tup:
