    I think they look better recessed they remind me less of trailer lights :p

    Being small contributes to the trailer light look for me, maybe if they were larger like R33.

    nice looking replica, if a little plasticy (prob just the photo, or the paint job)

    but i quote you're original post

    you lied to us man. You said you owned a Ferrari and you didn't :(
    next time do BOTH the following
    1) Drop the F word coz you never owned a ferrari or even close ;)
    2) throw in the word "replica"


    i feel used. :p;):rolleyes:

    PS: Given the price of 240's and 260's has risen in recent years, that must have been worth a bit

    should have kept it dude ;)

    I don't mind the look of the round tail lights, and I think the car looks good with them.

    BUT it changes the appearance of the car, it takes some of it's identity away. It suddenly does not look like a 300zx, it looks like something out of a parts bin.

    I had them on the convertible for 6 months. It really confused people who had no way of telling what car it is. I had people come and ask after having done a few laps of the car. One person still thought it was a Ferrari after he and I had been standing next to the car for 10 minutes talking about Ferraris.

    WOW thats actually tempting price range

    how come given a good 240/260 will get you back $15 at least

    doesn't make sence :confused:

    wouldn't mind one with that kit, but I'd throw Z badges on it in place of the Ferrari badges as its a Zed

    hmm....maybe a custom badge.... a Yellow Sheild with a black Z in the middle and the JAP flag across the top......hmmmmm that could work

    wouldnt be a real one, a kit car if anything, only 33 250gto's were made, as far as ive heard they were used track only pretty much, and enzo himself had to approve the purchase, and unless you have a few mil handy, be hard pressed getting your hands on one!

    every single zed i have seen with ferrari lights has looked cheap and nasty, the lights are very plasticy, and dont fit in well, if the lights were done a lil different might look better?

    Cheap and plasticy? what are they supposed to look like? Polished steel?

    All tailights are "plasticy" for a good reason too i'd assume wouldnt you?... lol

    I agree they are an aquired taste, Each to their own. But that was a pretty stupid comment to make :)

    ok looks like a cheap low grade plastic, which will fade and scratch/break very easially :) i do realise the stock rear lights are plastic, but they are done very well!

    the red circular part of the ferrari lights which most zeds have reminds me of the brake lights on old trucks

    i dont mean in a sense of lining up etc etc, i mean fit in with the scheme of the car, 300zx's lines are very smooth from top to bottom, the ferrari lights are NOT smooth at all

    exibit a: cheap made chinese lights

    exibit b: rear ferrari lights

    [​IMG]


    exibit c: a nicer copy which flows with the 300zx look
