Default Stupid orange reflector lenses on front bumper

Do they make clear replacements for the orange lenses on the front bumper? The car would look so much cleaner with those lenses clear. If so, how do you put them in? from the inside of the bumper?

im sure if you were to buy some, they would come with instructions, if not, im sure there is a right up about it, and if not that, the 350z repair manual is a great thing to get. i think Shift_Daytona Z still has them for sale for cheap

The clear lenses are hott. There isn't really any "right" way to put them in. The easy way is to take off your front bumper 'n put them in that way. Of course, knowing us guys, we never do anything the easy way. I ended up unscrewing the bottom plastic guard 'n 2 of the screws off the inside wheel well, slipped under the bumper, unscrewed the oranges lenses, then put in the clear lenses that way. Lemme tell ya, after messing around with that stupid idea on my Z for 2 hours, I became a master. I can change those sh*t's in 10 mins or less. Money back guaranteed =P.

Hahaha, I should. I'll start a business. "Put in the clear Z lenses the fu*kin' hard way.....in 10 mins or less!" Of course, my real business name won't be a novel long 'n it'll be way wittier. That was the best I could've pulled out of my *** within the minute of reading the reply.

I agree the easiest way is to take the bumper off. Once you do it it is not hard. Just figuring out how to get it off is the key. Certainly you can replace them without taking off the bumper too, just harder to do so in my opinion.
