  1. My lights are built Poor quality pics sent to me 4:30am this morning, but I'm really happy with them! The tint mod looks dark in these photos, but I'm sure in daylight it will look like a light smoke... Very happy with it, and glad I didn't ask him to paint the reflector black, lots of people do this and I personally think it looks cheap. He's also installing LED indicators for me with resistor to prevent hyperblink, should be bright enough to pass through the tint no problem, and look a little more modern at the same time.
  2. Content bump - so people know what I'm banging on about
  3. I did notice the Morimoto halo's in your thread mate, was tempted, but after a leaky set of lights I'd much rather a pro do it with experience and the proper butyl seal stuff. Gutted they won't be on when the respray is done - but they'll make really nice living room ornaments while I'm waiting for the car haha!
  4. I have an OEM JDM bumper with the better quality spats bonded on, for sale in the 350z parts for sale section.
  5. Cheers Richie! Few little updates from ZWorks doing my lights - the paintshop have repainted the shroud in WV2 Silverstone, I'm much happier with it now, not too dark, not too light - As you can see, he's sanded the Ironman sections clear ready. He's also tinted the dimpled plastic insert ready - he got the tint level bang on what I wanted... Will take the edge off the chrome indicator section nicely! He did that last night... So he's looking to finish up and post to me tomorrow... I won't have them on before the respray (2nd March) I can wait until it's out of the paintshop - probably for the best in case they get damaged. So yeah, it goes in a week today and I'm 100% settled on Bianco Fuji
  6. Good man, and the wheels in a very dark gunmetal similar shade to the carbon, will tie it in then
  7. Maybe just paint the base? I can't post images on my phone, but here's a link to an example. http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/attachments/australia/36576d1158118175-nismo-v1-cf-rear-spoiler-spics015medium9kn.jpg
  8. Bumper and spats still for sale... Will not split, due to the spats being bonded. Make me an offer.
  9. You going for the VHT Anodised paint? I used the red variant, it's a lovely finish and has lasted well, it's available in smurf blue!
  10. Very true! People ask about the car all the time, I'd much rather say it's bianco fuji over balloon white haha! But I prefer the bianco fuji regardless... Look how much better it defines the V shape and line in the middle, should really show off a Z's lines and curves well
  11. I'll be in touch after my respray mate - all my money is going there at the moment but definitely still interested
  12. Don't apologise mate, you're entitled to your opinion and it's welcome I do like the Balloon White too, I like its crispness... it's worst feature though is that in low lights it looks grey, in certain light conditions it looks far less bright than Bianco Fuji, hard to get a photo to demonstrate I'm not quite ready for that mid life crisis just yet mate haha Me too mate, nearly all my mates that don't have Z's say go for Balloon... I love that it's crisper/sharper pearl. But the drawbacks are it's more silvery, and grey in low lights especially. Bianco looks great in any light, and I love how the pearl has a satin effect
  13. Yeah I'm settled on it... There's only 5% doubt in my mind Balloon looks cleaner and crisper, and that 5% is decreasing all the time With regards to my Zworks lights, we both agreed the paint shop haven't matched Silverstone grey very well, it's too dark... I don't want the projector to disappear into the black housing. They are going to repaint them asap.
  14. My bathroom spotlights seemed to pick up the differences quite well... I think I still prefer Bianco Fuji. And the Z Works guy has my projector shroud painted - WV2 Silverstone, looks quite dark here...
  15. I do really love this kit combo, you've done well Only thing I really dislike is the numberplate position - can't be legal either? Also lose the blue GB stuff and borders, plain plates ftw!
  16. Cheers buddy, I'm hoping so! The flat white does nothing for the curves at all It's an artists impression of what my Z will look like when it's done
  17. Ferrari all over the show - and I have to agree, I picked it out myself before looking at the names... Looks best in all lights.
  18. WE HAVE SOME SUNLIGHT!!!!! For a few mins haha Basically - stuff the numbers, I've ordered them in order of preference. It is incredibly difficult to pick up the differences on camera - though most the goons in my office think they all look the same in person! (Yeah, I actually took them to work haha ) But there are definite, noticeable differences in terms of pearl content and warmth/coolness. 1. Ferrari Bianco Fuji - The warmest and pearliest. 2. Lambo Balloon White - More white/silvery than #1 but just as pearly 3. Lexus Glacier Frost - Pearly, but dull/grey in low light 4. Lexus Starfire Pearl - Pure white with coarse flakes, not much pearl 5. Nissan Storm White - Average pearl It's basically between 1- Bianco Fuji and 2- Balloon White. Bianco is warmer and I'd say slightly pearlier than Balloon, balloon is a cooler, silvery white... Balloon gets a better hit of sunlight in this pic so may unfairly sway opinion.
  19. #1 is also the bottom left one in the first pic. I'd say it's the pearliest - and also the warmest... So #1 is Ferrari Bianco Fuji
  20. Reckon you could pick it out from these Zeus? Spent the evening looking at them in artificial light and this morning in day light but not sun... they all look very similar, but I can tell them all apart without looking at the names I need some proper direct sunlight to make a real decision! I will say that it's between Ferrari Bianco Fuji and Lamborghini Balloon White from what I've seen so far in artificial and low lights.
  21. Bottom left isn't actually balloon white! Although it is very similar. Under any light I have at home they look far too similar to pick up any real differences in what they actually look like... I'm going to have to wait till daylight to get some proper photos. First impressions; Ferrari bianco fuji - pearliest, also the warmest. Lamborghini balloon white - as pearly as above, but not as warm, almost satin like pearl. Lexus glacier frost mica - pearly but quite grey/dull in low light. Lexus starfire pearl - crisp white pearl with coarse flakes giving spectrum effect. Nissan storm white - not very pearly, warm tone.
  22. Possibly! I thought that was Bianco Fuji Haha! Don't say that, hopefully there will be enough of a difference up close for me to pick a winner, they are all similar colours to be fair I just need the best one!
  23. Finally!!!!!! Some colour... Just been sent this by the bodyshop! Collecting them shortly and will get better pics I have no idea which is which in this picture!
  24. GIXXERUK is from Gele too, I'm from Conwy and there's another lad called Carl who has one in Llandudno... Good to see more people in North Wales with Zeds.
