hahaha..sure..sure. I wash my car EVERY WEEK. Don't think so pal. go back the other forum and dig up the thread i notified you the problem and i posted lots of pic on it but you keep denied it. I didn't even create a new thread to complain. I just post a reply on one of the member got the same product from you and here is what exactly i said" I guess i'm not lucky as you since my headlight bulb come off and it scratch the housing". Then i also PM you but you refuse to work it out with me and ask other friend to gang up on me. tsk..tsk..shame on you.

I already don't care and mind about it but you just keep grude on it and think i bash your Zsignal because of that. I'm not that narrow mind like you Mike. I guess the person need to grown up is you.

Just to be clear, you post this new picture for what? are you try to swallow some hate and frustration and try to protect for your new product (like you said in your PM) If you product is good, they're good. No need to put on sugarcoat face mike. It' will get sticky and dirty. hahaha I don't think i will buy anything from you again so you dont' need to impress me here

Correction:

You "have" your car washed every week. Therefore, you don't know what is/isn't being done. It's a fact that the plastic on our headlights tends to oxidize and develope a layer of "yuck" on them that needs to be buffed off every once in a while. That's what appears to be on yours...or your friends...or whoever you're claiming those to be now.

You're not making any sense and haven't since the beginning Alex. I'm tired of trying to figure out how you come up with things. You seem to have reasons for everything, and if that reason doesn't work, then you make-up another one. So, please just drop it. I'm willing to accept the fact that I got ripped-off and slandered for no reason and the same guy is still wanting me to give him discounts on other things. So, you just need to accept the fact that I will not deal with you as a customer anymore. Fair is fair.

I posted the new pic because that's why I'm in this thread...hence the thread topic. I'm not here for "you" Alex. Sorry to burst your "Bubble".

In Mikes defense, He painted my headlights and they are perfect! I am very happy with his workmanship. I have the good fortune of having 2 Z's in my garage, My wife has a 04 Redline touring and I see the same imperfections in her headlights, and by the way they are OEM. It's oxidation!

I was one of the first to install the prototype Zignalz and they have held up great, I get lots of complements at shows and meets on them. Mike also smoked my tails and again perfection. I have won 21 awards in the past 2 years of showing my Z all of them 1st place, Best of show and Best Engine, with only one 2nd place finish! I appreciate Mikes talent and help for what he has done for Me and the Z community. Thanks Mike for your hard work and effort. Look forward to installing the new Design Zignalz on both Z's

Randall, i saw your headlight and it was perfect. That is the reason why i send my to Mike. Nothing to complain on your car. Beautiful. I know what oxidation is. My headlight was scratch FROM THE INSIDE. (mike, what part of INSIDE don't you get it? need me to spell out or give you the dictionary? )

Mike, lolz, how the heck i buff inside? you see your attitude? just don't sit back and listen. Look who not willing to let it go? who keep brought it up and try to defend for the FACT that you send me a poor product and not even bother to listen to your customer. If i don't let it go long time ago, i would wait and bash on EVERY thread about your headlight work. Did i do that? I don't slandered you. I just said the zsignal (base on the picture look cheap and you confirm it. "You're right too...I admitted they were cheap ", Mike said. Don't you see you contradict to yourself?

Why don't you and your wife just sit back, relax and enjoy life instead of getting so pissy. are we cool? hahaha..guess you can't be cool. BTW, you should thanks me since we talk back and forth like this, FREE PUBLICITY for your new product.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let everybody know that they are available now through Courtesy Nissan. I thought I'd get it out to the members.


CourtesyParts.com Exclusive!

Replace existing "Z" side emblems with a pair (2) of Zignalz LED Turn Signal Side Emblems.
Japanese Fairlady Z models come equipped with side markers that blink with the turn signal indicator. These side turn signal indicators increase street driving safety. Now you can add side turn signal functionality to your 350Z without drilling into your fender or adding tacky looking side markers.
Zignalz LED Turn Signal Side Emblems maintain the factory "Z" emblem look when off, glow amber or white with accessory lights or parking lights on, and flash bright amber when the turn signal or hazard lights are activated and blinking. No drilling is required for installation. Wires use existing emblem mounting holes. Minor modifications to existing wires required. Wire taps are included. Sold as a pair only.

Mike,
Got my Zignals today and they look awesome, just like the factory emblem in color and style. Cant wait to put those suckers in, the packaging was very professional. Thanks for offering a great product to the Z community! Those that try to diss your product have not seen it up close, if so they would notice that every detail from the original emblem was incorporated to the new Zignals. I will post some high quality pics when I get the chance, also before and after install. Sent you a PM Mike let me know if you got it, thanks man. Oh and as far as bubbles concern with junk in his light, mine has the same problem and has never even been opened, it is just something that happens over time, I have heard some users get rid of the problem using a soft cloth and vinegar, just my 2 cents

I didn't want to go the lighted side emblem route, so I polished my original emblems. Plus it didn't cost anything, except for some gumout. You can use a soft cloth, but I used my dremel with a polishing tip which made the whole process quicker.

That's a neat way to accent as well. Another way to accomplish what you did is to just use some paint reducer. It wipes the OEM paint right off. You'll just need to be carefull and not get any on the clear-coat around the emblem. Some tape can be applied around it to prevent that from happening.

Nicely done.

This is Michael with Motorsport Auto. I see alot of people complaining about the price of the LED fender emblems. being sold on our www.350zsource.com web site. First off we are not marking those emblems up, very much at all, They are expensive for, we are importing them direct from Japan, The US $, does not compare well with the Japanese yen. Secondly, these are made from Factory Nissan parts, wiring, emblems, harness clips, packaging, everything is OE. Very high quality, Color picture step by step instructions. We are not trying rip people off, We thought they were cool, and wanted to offer them.

I have had the same style ( the three squares with leds) on my Z for a couple of years now. Someone on this forum made them for me, and I combined them with the evo-r Z4 style rings, and using a circuit another member made for me, I have those plus led side bumber lights that light with my headlights or parking lights, and flash when the turn signal flashes. Boogey mikes lights are nice also, but I think that this style is much more subtle. I think that the Z source is just providing another product, that many might find expensive, but it is good that an assortment of products are avail. The yen prices are encouraging Americans to make products for the Z here. Japan is pricing itself out of the market. We should not blame the retailer, just look for alternatives if the price is too high. After all, they are made from two side badges that go for about $36 retail, have six total leds (about $3 retail) and a couple of cents of wire. The hard part is drilling the small holes. So if the Z store can't sell them at that price, maybe they can hire someone here to slap about a hundred sets together.
