I never realized it until I started looking around but it really changes the look of the whole front end on cars that are more subdued like the Z and GTR. It's amazing to me how just changing the headlights makes a world of difference, here are some examples:

IMO the cars look infinitely more aggressive with the headlights redone.

Man that's pricey! Probably get what you pay for though. There are a few mods I'd like to do to my Z but the Mustang gets most of the funds for now. Getting ready to drop about $1500 on a much needed new top. Would much rather get a Motordyne exhaust.

So far this year I've done everything in my signature plus the Uprev tuner license, gen3's sitting in my living room, and tuning that's about to happen.. So I'm probably done for this year

Just curious if you ever thought about DIY on the headlights? I'm considering it but I'm scared I will ruin something... lol.

I'm sure I could do it but I'd much rather have the pro's do it than mess with it myself. I've done lights before but what I want is just more involved than I'm interested in tackling.

Almost done with my Gen3 install, did all the modifications that were necessary and relocated the horn... So far so good.

All in all there isn't that much cutting/modification that's really needed. Will throw a few pics up when it's done.

Since the install is done I'm selling my K&N drop-ins:

K&N 33-2399 x 2 - (Drop-In Filters for Stock Air Box)

If someone here locally wants to grab them I'll go $75.

Just saw this...guess I haven't been around enough. I razz people too hard sometimes and it comes across the wrong way. Should've realized its hard to interpret something like that in print. My bad and apologies to all, especially Patrick.

It was pretty simple and maybe took 10 minutes. The only issue I had is one I've seen on every car I've owned and removed the bumper to date, and that's the issue where the paint on the edge tab that pops in next to the fender gets a little scuffed because it's so thin at that point...but nothing to be concerned over as long as you're careful. You'd only ever notice it if you put your face down there in that corner/crack and looked at it. My OCD will probably force to me touch up that tab/corner just because, but it's really no big deal.

EDIT: Also, I should add that if you're looking for a hand doing anything of this sort I'm happy to help.
