Default Ordered my Zignalz!!!

boogiemyke, has been working on these for awhile. I've been following his progression the entire time. I think he has a pretty cool product he's made. GB is ending soon, better check it out.

Not feeling it, the only lighting I would possibly do is the side reflectors wired to the turning signals.

I've had the prototype version for a while now and get lots of compliments on them. I thank Mike for all the hard work he put into this project.

I think there is a link in the thread for the install instructions. I don't think it's hard at all.

+1 for the hard work Mike has put into this. Thanks.

I always love the OEM Z side badges. The Z logo silver reflection is just awsome. It would be a shame not to use that badge. This is why we didn't go with full replacement. But this one is unique as well. Everyone has their owe taste. BTW our LEDs are 10000 MCD. On our next new shippment all colors are in 10000 MCD. Expect date Jan 15th. Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for spreading the word buzz!

Everyone is correct in that some may like them and some may not. It's definitely a personal preference for everyone.

I know we don't have the final product for display as of right now, so it's a little hard to invision how they'll look. Our intention was to always keep the OEM look, but just add functionality. So, you'll have the best of both worlds. In Europe they are required and Nissan went the route of adding another protrusion under the "Z" emblem. I think that distracts from the sleekness. We've just made a direct replacement with a circuit board underneath. There are 2 circuits that can be wired-up however you choose. Some may decide that they don't want the "color" to illuminate and would only like the "Z" to flash with the turn signal. It gives you some options.

Here's a couple of pictures I took of some of the Zignalz I molded myself. As you can see, they aren't perfect and that is why we decided to have them injection molded. The one thing to take note of on the below pics: the material is actually clear plastic that we've painted silver. The paint looks just like the OEM silver, but it allows light to pass through. The second pic is of 2 that we molded and 1 OEM emblem stripped of the black paint. I took that pic as a comparison to the OEM silver paint. Once we receive the molded pieces, they will be much smoother and the paint will reflect much better and even more like the OEM silver.
