350Z DIY: zenki to "kouki" Tail lights (06-08 update)

[dasoupdude]

Difficulty rating: 1stars out of /10

(same instructions go as for left side as well.)

!)remove top screw plastic covers.

2)unfasten all 3 screws.

3)CAREFULLY remove the tail light, towards the edge near the top reflectors is a plastic piece which is mounted inside a hole for extra support, (some of you may found to disregard the piece because it has snapped off and is now stuck inside the cave. you can just pry it out easily with a pair of needle noses.)

4)Locate the 2 fixtures, with a firm grip of your fapping hand; twist and pull.

Disconnect both bulbs sockets from the fixtures(squeeze or if a lil tough use some sort of grip tool)

5)Take the light to a safe place, i.e. in your trunk or for safe keeping under the hood.



6)As you can see the 06 tails only make use for one mount, the fixture which was formerly known as the "night time" light will be disregarded. Only the brake light fixture will plug in.

once everything is into place, begin mounting the new tails in. Line up the small plastic holder to the hole and press the tail light into place. Make sure the holes at the top are properly sustained and show 100% visibility.

7)before mounting screws in, be sure to test the lights as well as brake lights.

Finished product.

2005.6 350z.

Hell I would, but leaning more towards a matte black look, his is more like gray.

especially with the fact I wouldn't have to worry about scratches and fingerprints.

[ilovesideways]

did you rattlecan a z?

[dasoupdude]

Not at all. Before my friend bought it it was professionally "rattle canned" from the previous pwnr.

oh, not my thing but to each his own

I have to figure there was a real good reason the car ended up in primer, and make it dang near impossible to sell, the cost to give ti a decent paintjob just made it not worth the cost, I hope your bud got a deal

I don't really know my paint ethics but he "says' its not primer but an actual matte paint..idk I have to find out more about it, we lived about only 40 mins from where the guy who was selling it lived. Apparently my buddy managed to get it for just 8,000. But along with it came a frenzy load of problems.

hey soup that flat black car looks like a military issue 350Z

[ilovesideways]

it looks like that same ricer black they use on 240's and not true matte black which does look good. I would just paint it myself...get a spray gun, small air compressor, garage and paint.

Yeah ricer black is when it looks like the paint has fuzz growing on it from a distance, the car has spots that are darker and spots that are lighter, uneven, faded, scratches easily, etc...
