Official Cheap Mod Thread

The following assumes the use of LEDs but should be same basic procedure for incandescents.

If the LEDs are white, you can buy tinted caps. Or you can probably find some tinting "paint" but you need to make sure it is compatible with the LEDs. (If incandescent, will have a glass bulb and compatibility is not an issue.)

If they are colored, you will probably need to replace the LEDs with the appropriate colors. This will require some soldering skills.

The FSM may give more info but probably considers it part of an assembly with no serviceable parts inside. Worth a look. Link in my sig.

Did the washer mod tommy exhaust 6$. And sounds amazing. Waiting for boost to get a 3" exhaust and this will tie me over until them

Painted "Z" and outer ring of side marker lights. 1 can of VHT epoxy paint ($6.00). I should have wiped the dust off of them before taking the pics.

Like to see it on the car. Does it effect the light coming on? What color is ur Z? Nice job by the way..

Car is in the shop, wheels are being powder coated gloss black. Car is silver. I didn't do anything to the lens so lights will function as normal.

Now I'm interested

that's my color scheme at the moment...

Jimbo370 · 06-15-2017, 03:23 PM

Also like to see ur car powdercoated. I heard it is pretty much permanent so I thought I might have them dipped first?

redondoaveb · 06-15-2017, 04:26 PM

Hopefully I get my car back today. I'll probably get some pics up tomorrow.

redondoaveb · 06-15-2017, 07:26 PM

Just got the car back and installed the lights. Here are a few pics.

Jimbo370 · 06-15-2017, 08:06 PM

Yep, sport rays. I ended up paying $750.00. I drove the car in and when they were done I drove it home. They took care of everything. That included powder coating the lug nuts. We'll see how well they hold up. I ordered a black set just in case. They had the car 4 days.

For me to not have to do anything but drive it in and drive it out, $180.00 a wheel was worth it.
