Ok, I ordered these and had them painted. The colormatch was dead-on but the covers did not come with any 2-sided tape to put them on. I am sure there has to be a better way to attach these things and not have them come off or look raised. i got some super thin 3M tape, but a test makes them look raised up, without the tape it looks flush like the light came that way. The test fit is pretty good, just the driver's side doesn't sit flush, but with a strong enough adhesive it will be perfect. These appear to be ABS and can be prepped on the headlight side. Any suggestions at all? Or should i just go to a bodyshop and let them do it

I had mine installed by ZPresence on 350ZFrenzy. He used 3M Acrylic Plus tape and mine look very good. I do push down on the corners each morning as I walk out to the car, just to make sure everything stays tight!

i will once i get them on. now to find some more thin tape or work with a strong adhesive specifically for plastics.

teaser pic. i just laid the cover on the light to take this pic, mainly to show the colormatch. these will look good once i get them on

Yeah, it looks like they did a really good job with the color match

Looks nice. Can't wait to see how the fit looks once you figure out how to mount it.

Nice pic, the color matches great...

installed finally. i just went with the thinnest 3M tape i could find, sticks pretty strong. I think i got the driver side one off just by a mm down towards the bottom, but it is barely noticable.

looks great steve!!

forgot to mention forget the big bug splat on the front, that bug just wanted to commit suicide on my bumper

Steve, those look great. Did you have them painted or did the vendor match for you? What is the cost and where did you get them?

 

[steve350z]

i got them from Intense Motorsports. They had them on special for $99 and they painted them, total price was $175 painted and shipped. But it took over three weeks for them to get them to me. But the end results are pretty good so far, great fit and the paint matches. you have to provide your own 3M tape for it. with it painted i had to prep the back and get rid of the paint that got on the back so the tape would stick firmly but took like 15 minutes to do that.

Is this the product that you had so much problem getting a shipping pro number for?

Does anyone else make them?

that is the one. They was the only non-e-bay site i found that had them though, at least the one that offered paint service. anyone else know of a place

 

[Fuzion]

wow those are totally awesome!

 

[DiRN]

Those look sweet Steve. Was the wait worth it?

I've never been a fan of headlight covers, because I think our stock headlights just look mean.

They do look nice on the SS though, good mod.

Nice Steve, one of my Zchickz friends just got these in Silverstone. They look even better in person! They are also available from Evo-R.net

Evo-R.net website

They are taking their RL 350Z to SEMA if anyone is going check them out. I think they will also paint them for you. If you see their 350z find Andy. He is really great.
