Default Headlights: Clear strip installed, painted SB to match car - by MrZipps

Some people have requested pics of my lights so here goes.

Sent my headlights to Dan aka MrZipps. He removed the amber strip, installed the clear strip, and painted the areas I wanted SB to match the car. They turned out amazing I think. Alot of people don't notice at first, it's the true enthusiasts that do. Thats what I like.

I would have no problem recommending his work to others. He received my lights and got them back to me pretty d@mn quick.

His site is www.mrzipps.com

The pics:

I bought the clear strip here:

https://my350z.com/forum/inventor-classifieds/136247-smoked-clear-headlight-diffuser-strip-55-a.html

But that was before I knew that MrZipps carried them as well. If I were to do it over again, I would probably by everything from him to make it easier.

Awesome !

You're the one Dan was telling me about when I requested pics of a SB Z with a cleared and OEM paint matched housing. I better contact him to get my headlights cleared. Just need to find a way to get the front bumper off....

That looks great! I have been thinking about doing this to my SB for a while. I might get around to doing it one day.

Thanks Dan.
