Ya I sure learned my lesson by dealing with them. Those pictures you posted in the first post are probably the sickest looking 06+ lights I've ever seen. Clearcorners did an awesome job on those!!

I just finished reading your original post. Sorry to hear about all the crap you went through with Nic. It's just funny that everything you wrote about Nic and CCD is 100% true because I went through the exact same thing with them. Nic has no idea how to run a business, much less dealing with customers. After I told him about all the tiny cracks in my headlights, he told me to try to get some new OEM lights through my insurance
. After months of arguing with him, he told me to send my lights back and he would replace my lenses with some new '08 lenses. But after all the crap I've been through with them, there was no way in hell I would ever let anyone from Cincity touch my lights again so I refused to send him my lights and just took it as a lesson learned. If anyone on here is thinking about getting your lights done by CCD, I would strongly encourage you to do a bit of research on them on this forum. They've screwed over way too many customers on here, which is why they're no longer a sponsor. Damn I wish I would have gone to Clearcorners instead

+1... I got Tony's (worldfamousz) ones on my car, when he sold them to me, he got Mike to do a refurb and then shipped them over to me, lights are amazing quality and I have had no issue with the lights.. when I came to fit there were differences between the UK and the US version to do with the auto leveling... I called Mike and he was amazingly helpful on both email and on the phone.. something I wouldnt have really expected considering this was a used item I had purchased and something he wasnt making any money out of....
Top guy and comes highly recommended... price is high, but you get what you pay for and his after sales service is just great :thumbs: top fella

Same sh*t happened with me. The first time i had a nightmare with another company, so i went to CCD with brand new headlights thinking they would understand. My story is exactly like yours except i'm still driving with them, blinking LED's and all. He says i can send them back, but never again would i go through that hell. Not to mention these lens can only be opened once without making damage. This story is so drawn out and horrible i don't even feel like typing it anymore. I also had marked my headlight when sending it back in to replace the blinking LEDs. I received someone else's old headlight instead of my brand new one. (guts swapped for no reason???) ughh i have to stop thinking about it now!!! grrrrrr
Congrats on the new headlights they look great!

All I can say is this, when the new Z debut'ed back in 2003 -- my company was the first to offer products for the Z33 platform. In fact, we've offered products for all the NISSAN/Datsun sportscars..... Z32...... Z31....... S30.... S130...... R32/33/34/35....... S13/14/15.............. you name it.
Its 2010 now and we've got goodies for the G37 Coupe & Sedan, as well as secret plans for the 370Z which are presently undergoing prototype development. In fact, R&D for the 370Z lights has been going on for about 1 year now.
Its not easy to run a small shop and keep your customers happy. If theres any advice I can give you guys, is to exercise caution when modifying your car. Careful who you trust with your car and with its parts. Its very easy to receive sub-par service. While I will admit that turn around time is slow (at times, very slow), I'll be damned if anyone out there offers a more detailed, higher quality product.
And to Goose, thanks for the opportunity to build you a very, very special pair of headlights.

Mike @ clearcorners is doing some of the best work on light mods around the net. by best i mean top quality OEM level at a high price. There's a good reason mercedes charges more than ford for a 4 door sedan.
I've personally had 2 different cars lights modded by mike and he's never failed to deliver a quality product. No long term issues at all with almost 20k+ miles of using the mod's on my 350z.
