Hey if any of u guys are looking to paint the inside of ur headlight housing any color i can do it for u.. my best friend has done a lot of these.... and if u have bought the headlight strips we can put those in for u as well... by the way just to give u an idea of what clearcorners.com does here is the link with prices http://clearcorners.com/products/nissan/350zx3/. My boys price is $175 shipped.. if ur local and want to drive up and do it, the install is same day installation approx 3-4hrs and the price for local drop off is $150 & $25 if removal of lights is required. so pm me with orders and any questions just post up.

DISREGUARD ABOVE PRICING


the price is 300.00
-shipped
-drop off
-w/removal

i can do it any color, but price will be slightly higher if color matching and use of automotive paint with clear cote is requested, DUE TO MATERIAL COST

I think it is great you can offer this service but I think you should use pictures of headlights you've actual done. I think it's a bit misleading if you use someone elses work. In this case, ClearCorners.com who I know has a representive on these boards. I don't think they'll like the idea you're using their pictures to sell your service. Just my .02

Also, I think the important question here to having this type of mod done by someone else is what is your gaurantee against the following:

[1] Hazing and/or Leaks
[2] Paint Quality (no overspray/lint when resealed)
[3] Damage during modifying process/shipping

I think these are the main reasons why people are hesitant on doing this even though there are DIY instructions already available.

Sorry, don't mean to hi-jack or be rude...just watching out for my fellow Zers.

+1 on that, GTNPU Z. Very well said. He's right. Also, what's with the price boost? I rather pay a few hundred more to have something unique, some leds, custom paint and guarantee from clearcorners.
peace

I WORK AT A BODY SHOP AND KNOW THE IN'S AND OUT'S OF PAINT
i only posted one pic belonging to clearcorners.com and only used it as refrence for the member who asked to see how it would look on a smoked silver Z, i did not claim it as my own. all other pics are mine, i stand behind my work and have done about 30 sets of lights from numerous makes of cars, and have never had a problem with fogging, fading, or left over residue in the housing, i guarantee my work 100%. and have never had any complaints, i am not a simple do it your selfer. i have a reputation as far as the level of quality of my work, and have 3 sema cars lined up to work on this year and i did 2 last year.you are completly right in your post for looking out for other Z owners and i am doing the same by providing this service

SO WHO IS DOING THE WORK HERE, YOU OR YOUR BOY. AND IF HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS DONE SO MANY THEN WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT YOUR REPUTATION ALL OF A SUDDEN??????? HMMMMMMMMMM.
I have done this mod to my own headlights and know what a PITA it is. I think the price is fair IF you can guarantee your work, BUT with the misleading statements as above, you will need some VERY trusting people
