Headlight modification?

In all seriousness, you folk are welcome at my house. I have the jack and the 4 jack stands. I do live very close to College Park though.

I don't think we'll need jack stands. We just need to get the car jacked up to have access to the undertray to be able to take the bumper off. Once we get those bolts off from underneath, we can set the car back down and drive it around with no problem. Actually you might be able to reach the bolts without jacking the car up as long as you're at stock height. I can't do it on mine since my car is lowered.
That's all very true. Once we get the bumper off we can put the next car up. I am lowered about 1.5" in the front so I'm in the same boat.

OP once we get this together please update the main post. We need to post who is attending as well as a list of all materials.

We have a buffalo wings and beer near here that has pretty awesome wings plus there's a hooters in rockville.

I can either bring a fuckton of wings or booze. Either/or

I was serious about the potluck thing. A sign-up works best so people don't duplicate.

Also quick question re: legality. I know the Z's headlights are ridiculously bright to begin with (I get people flashing their hi-beams at me all the time) but is this mod legal? I run around without a front plate so not trying to give anyone another reason to mess with me.

I think the potluck thing is a good idea but some of us are going to use different items depending on the mod. So as long as we negotiate on the items I'm down.

Not gonna lie I'm pretty pumped for this. There aren't many Zs in pa for me to meet up with.

Also you really get that much hate for your lights? I haven't noticed any of that up my way. That's really dumb

This mod is NOT illegal, you're not doing anything to the light itself, your only painting trim pieces, which has ZERO effect on the light output.

Pretty sure I was banned from Bentley's about 12 years ago but I'm gonna have to assume they won't remember. I know the 'Fe closed down but is Cornerstone still there? Used to love that joint.

If we all do this the before/after pictures are going to own hard.

Yeah but it's mostly on backroads with no street lights because people don't seem to understand the concept that their pupils dialate in the dark. City driving, never.
