    I'm telling ya folks I need a girlfriend. Stop work, start working on what to do with the zed. I know who'd put a stop to that real quick.:zlove:
    Ooops, back on topic.
    Now that my rear end has had a face lift I'm finally thinking the lights let it down. I've alway liked the originals but I've used a bit of imagination and can see something like this on the back instead of these "oldies". Everyone has 2k light so I'm looking for something a bit different.

    Now I'm thinking they're very expencive, why not use my contacts in China to get a set made there. I get my castings done in Shanghai and know a bit about the place as I have to go there from time to time.
    So after a lot of snoopng about I think I have found the company for the job.
    I've supplied them with all the necessary info to get an idea if it's on or not.
    And don't start thinking "made in China!" They have their act together now.
    I'll keep yous informed of my progress.

    You could have people comming at you real quick if you set up a GB.
    That Idea look great. Would lift the age nicely with a "butt tuck" like that :)
    You keep this up and you could be called the plastic surgeon of the west.

    you cant beat that microsoft paint.


    relocate your reverse lights into the indicator section and spray the centre panel the same colour as your car.
    smack on a nice zed logo and wham bam thankyou mam ,Individuality.

    GB


    After the GB for the diffuser, I don't know about that.;)
    Seriously though if I get a positive responce from China, I'll do an expression of interest and take it from there.
    I'm after a top of the range product and won't accept anything less so we'll see what they come up with. I was given a couple of more contacts so we're in there.

    And that zed logo, pinched my idea but I was thinking of getting rid of the 300zx and replacing it with a big Z.
    It never stops!:eek:

    I was thinking like what's already there but a big Z inside a gold circle etched in or whatever they do to get that effect.

    They're badges, I was thinking of getting a blank reverse panel and put the z logo in that. Basically change the "300zx" into the Z like in the pic by dedzed but bigger. Same design, different logos.

    how about a big z el panel.
    I will be experimenting shortly with an el panel behind my painted centre panel to see if it glows much or at all.
    invisible during day but visible by night much like a hooker in Northbridge.

    Whist waiting for the Chinese to get their act together I threw the net out and look what I caught locally!
    A reply to my e-mail.


    Unfortunately i havent done these as of yet, but i have made many custom tail lights in the past and would certainly be interested in creating some for your 300zx. Do you have a spare pair of these or are these off your car?
    If so, I can come and pick these up or if you can drop them off, otherwise i will go to a wreckers and purchase a set to create almost the exact same as what the clearcustoms.com tail lights are like.
    Look forward to your reply.

    I might rip the ones out of the 2 seater and let him have a go at them.
    Stay tuned, I'm expecting results soon.

    "Hi John,

    Great, no problems at all, we currently are becoming traders/sponser at silviawa club, and will be looking into more at some stage soon, and are having a new huge website being made at the moment also.
    If there are any LED or HID lighting products you or anyone else needs please dont hesitate to contact us".


    I'll be getting a set of tail lights to him on Monday and we'll take it from there. I'm pretty confident of a good result.
