Default Sneak Peek at something different. Yes, I know I'm now officially a ricer ;)

Love it or hate it, let's hear your thoughts!

FYI the reflector is CLEAR with 30 AMBER LEDs. It is wired to blink with the turn signals. The LEDs are invisible when not lit up, and it looks like the standard clear reflector.

It was made special order by Ares. (rase creations)

More shots (and better shots) to come.

I bought these a long time ago and haven't put them on until now. I was debating for a while whether I'd like them or not. Still deciding.

I pray that you decide to take them off because it is ricey. I think your car would look better with some smoked reflectors since you have gunmetal sf's. That is just my opinion of course.

Well I am going to feel it out for a few weeks. Worst comes to worst, I will just cut the wires and it will look like the standard clear reflectors. Which I happen to like

I dont think its THAT bad, i kinda like it. Rick is just a harsh bastard But u might want to think about putting a smoked overlay over them. then black housing ur headlights. I could help you do the headlights mike, now THAT would be hot. And heres an idea (lets get a response from RIck also..)

Can you wire the reflectors to ONLY light up when you put the blinker on and flash witht the blinker? now that would be sweet i think!

Right now they ONLY light up with the blinker, they are "off" MOST of the time. (Plus, they are totally invisible when they are off, you cannot even see the LEDs in there)
GOOD IDEA , good thing I thought of it.

I'm not really feeling smoked either... just my taste.

If you cannot see them, that is pretty cool. I think Brian is on to something as in wiring them to only blink when the blinker is on. I just think it looks weird when it is on like a parking light. Good thinking brian

I went with some Zignals from Mike, they look 100% like the factory side emblems until you turn on your lights at night at which point the outer ring and Z have a slight pure white glow and when the turn signal is active over 30 LED's lights up the Z part. Looks awesome and is a great alternative to the ricey front reflector LED's. Just my 2 cents, I know everyone has their own opinion. But much respect for trying to be different, after all thats what this is all about and our love for the Z
