Now for my part 2 installment of my winter mods. First up is the Great Gonzer Glo-Panel. This things looks truly amazing, the blue light is so crisp.





Now onto my favorite mod of the whole season, my 1999 JDM Taillights.



Old ones out.

Comparison shot.

And here is a pic of them when I was done.

But then the sun rose the next morning and I got some day shots of them. There will be a huge pic whoring come spring break after I install my Part 3 of the winter mods.

Now for a before and after shot.

Before.

After.

Looked killer the other night Jared, but I still don't know how I feel about the flow panel. ...might just be one of those things I always look weird at, heh. The Jspecs look 10000000000000000 times better!

The taillights are 100% Genuine OEM JDM taillights and very red, not pinkish at all.

The tail lights that he has came on the 99 Z32's in Japan. At that point they cleared out the bottom and added the lines to lenses so to clean up the look of the rear of the car. They are much nicer than the regular tail lights in my opinion. Being OEM Nissan, the quality is top notch.

Custom tail lights are always an option though. As long as its clean and classy and doesn't take away from the flow of the car I'm all about it. I custom did mine like 5 or 6 years ago.

Now if only it will turn off when we want it to

On a side note....I talked to John at Z1 for awhile and I'm heading out to mail out the ECU. He's gonna test it the day he gets it and give me a buzz

Well, I got the glow panel from another Z guy that makes them for $110, but he isn't making them right now. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/439293/5

I paid $319 for the taillights, which is the cheapest you will find anywhere.

that's 319 USD i presume, I can get them shipped over from japan for cheaper than that, i'm actually in the process of talking to someone about those. where did you get them from anyway? i'm curious.

is there a way to wire the tail light panel to come on with your brake lights as well? or is it just a DRL kinda light? and you could put it on a toggle switch as well, to flip it on and off whenever?

I got my Jspecs from Ultimate Z. You can wire your rear panel however you want, I just decided to wire it into the taillights, you could also wire it into the third brake light to have it only come on when you press the brake, but I think that would look weird.
