figured id add some headlight shots to give you something shiny to look at while im over here just running wires and tearing sht apart etc.
Heres a shot w the Stardast kit on a stock body ( looks great w the fr bumper IMO.. just needs side skirts) at the Tamayima PA in Tokyo ( where all the crazy led lambos park etc)
Halo work... all 350z specific pcb items made by Sam Rios and Z LEDs. Labor was diy tho.
5000k white led halo ring and side panels.. parking light activated
functional drl switchback for turn signals.. white tuns off and amber flashes.. white turns back on after about 1.5 seconds after turn signal is off.
A full projector firing ring for demon eye effect in red.. 2 circuits... every other group, groups of 3 leds
half on...
both (all) on:
or together with the parking light... washes it to a red center and pink sides.. pretty frikin cool.. I also wired up a switch back for dual color top marker led ( 3 dots) so they turn red when the demon eyes are on.
these are all taken in a fully lit garage btw. They are very bright.. so the LUX on the camera automatically dimmed down to make sense of the light blurs lol.

hey so this bumper is the sht... in case anyone wants to know, the VIS quality on this is killer.. fitment is perfect.. and while its not predrilled, it has the hole divet areas in place.. piece of cake.
has the original under side detail as well.. mini upswooping wheel well ducting, half length undertray splitter piece also.
VERY cool.
and flexible as all hell too.. almost like polyurethane.
it fit right up to my fmic like a glove and theres a ton of room to move my oil cooler up front now, so that we shall do.
So i had an electrical snafu yesterday.. i apparently blew the fusible link on the posuitive post... starter wire conection wasnt the best and i think it pulled too much current. anyways, that will be fixed tomorrow..
but i took the day off and yanked the interior mostly out.. and gutted the decade of overlapping elecrtonics installations.. mismatched wire colors and bullet connectors, scotch lock t taps, etc etc..
eff that.. threw in trash.. rewiring everything up where the psngr airbag used to be... termianl strips w jumpers and relayed direct battery power for illumination, ingition keyed power, radio turn on.. and a terminal strip for constant power as well as a good ground.. makes installation of all my gadgets easy.. and makes future additons a SNAP.
trash box.. get that corn outtamahface!!!!
mounted the oem style fenders that will be getting trimmed for wheel fit and then cut in half and blended to the Amuse bits.
traced out a decent radius... the tires still ahve another 15 mm out to go lol.

updates for those who didnt see the post whoring on FB lol..
first off, my cat Squirrel is unimpressed w any of this.. AND hes batman apparently..
the shipping took 5 days over a weekend to boot..
the packing was perfect and tidy.. the construction is amazing.. the fit and finish is literaly 100% FLAWLESS. My only qualm is they should be pre drilled , but its ok.
Ive never seen better JDM fiberglass work in my life.
