Hey i was just wondering if anyone has installed these on their Z, or if anyone has any experiance or opinions on them? I like them but wish there was a set that was a mix of these two with clear lenses and more than 3 LED lights, so does anyone else know of any other kits like these?

Thanks for the reply, pics would be great to give different perspectives on them im still not sure which ones i want to get or how i would have them wired, although i think im leaning twards just having them on when my headlights are turned on and not as signals.

Hey Burton one of my questions about the second pair are although they look really good in the pictures and all they also look pretty unpretected are they jus texposed or do they have a cover? Also some of the backgrounds look like they could look un-uniform with the Z's color are they or do the pictures i have not do them justice?

Hey it is a little late to take pictures now, but i will take a few tomorrow during the day. I have a blue Z and the side markers are slate black with four plastic squares. Behind each square is an led, so the led never gets wet/bugs/ etc. I have no scratches or anything on the side markers, they seem pretty study to me. I think you could easily paint them yourself if you want them to match your car, but i like the tint/smoked look they give off being just slate black. Ill post some pics tomorrow

The prices on that clear corner site are crazy. Atleast for the g35. Its only LEDs. They cost a couple cents. And they want to charge a couple hundred. People must be drunk as hell.

Ya the ones on that websit do seem a bit expensive but then again they also look like there made really well so i guess it depends on the person. For me thats not really even the look im going for though i think im goin twards the more individual LED look because i think it would look great on a Z and i really like the way they look on the Audi R8's. So for me i really like the 6 bright LED's as long as there really nice looking and wont just break which is why i had some questions on them. I think for my Z i would get white which should go pretty well with a silver Z but im open to suggestions.

http://www.evo-r.net/product/main/index.htmSold these but I'm not sure for what years. I can't vouch for quality or anything, simply as information. He stopped selling them apparently due to them not moving much product but he may have some or may know where else to pick them. Again, as info only.

Just for your information...the evo-r & z store sold the same product.I've had mine for 4 years with no problems....bought them used ($70 shipped) in the classifieds on another Z forum.Mine are hooked with resistors instead of relay's.They also work in unison with the turn signals & parking lights.I have the amber LED....they are brighter but I still think, very cool!

Here are some pics....

Ok, so first off, I abso-freakin-lutely love your car dude.Thanks for the info on the markers because I'm still debating on making my own vs buying. I've got an idea to make two strips, non-visible where one will blink amber and one will stay white. I've got everything I need except the balls so far.i was wondering if you would tell me where you got your spoiler and what the name of it is, it's the first spoiler I've seen on a Z that I would actually put on mine. Thanks for that!

Hey...I appreciate the compliments & Ok....are you referring to the front lower chin spoiler or the rear deck wing spoiler....anyways, the chin spoiler is the authentic Veilside v1 urethane with the logo shaved and the rear deck wing spoiler is a replica of the Toyota Celica.BTW not to jacked this thread but I just started a thread tonight where I entered a contest...just trying to get some free gas!Please check it out here & vote....http://amocoultimate.cardomain.com THANKS!

No problem.Just to let you know that this particular wing does not look as good on the coupe as on my roadster....the reason is, the roadster is more narrow in the rear than the coupe....so it would be too short going across the trunk of the coupe.

BTW in person, this wing is really cool lookin'!The wing top portion is 'curved sloped' which cannot be seen in the pics.Code#SNZ350A

If someone had told me they were going to put a Celica rear spoiler on their Z I probably would have laughed but I actually like it. It looks good.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't even think about that. I may have to look again. Doesn't matter if it works for me or not, it still looks kickass on your application. To think it's a Celica replica. Oh the humanity.

*edit*Holy crap, I saw these on ebay and thought it was a joke. They're 69 bucks now. I guess with as good as they look on your car they must be pretty decent, just didn't expect "cheap ebay" parts to be that worth it. Thanks for the tip man, you just saved me some mula.

When you went to that site for your spoiler, did you go to the Toyota section and buy it from there or did you go to the Nissan section and get the one that looks like the Celica wing? The reason I ask is the one in the Toyota section may look more like the original Celica wing but the mounts/alignment may not be right for the Z.

interestingly enough, the pictures and measurements for the Z and for the Celica are identical. That's cool. I don't mind sharing.

Something else to consider is I think the back of the coupe Z is angled up some while the back of the roadster is more flat. On the coupe this would cause the rear spoiler to be angled up. The front lip of the spoiler may end up actually being higher than the back of it.
