ahh ... that makes a lot more sense. Considering all the extra DB coloring detail he's done to the interior/exterior of his roadie I would have thought he would have liked them.

 

I got a pair because over here we are required by law to have amber blinkers on the side of the car. So instead of drilling holes and wiring up something like this...




the Zignals make sense 100%

 

Yeah I like the zignals, but I don't like the fact that b4 boogiemike went to the nissan dealership, he was selling them privately for $96USD or so. Ever since he's selling them through a dealership, the price is now $165 or whateva was quoted.

 

Wasn't that a group buy to help pay to get them made in the first place. People on the GB did it on faith and ordered the product based on mold pictures and a prototype long before they were made.

Yep.

<--Participated in the Group Buy

 

Yeah, they were $80 + $5 shipping for the GB. I was selling them at a loss at that point. I needed to get them out to everyone in order to promote more sales. We went through Courtesy for a number of reasons. 1. they're right down the road from us . 2. They have a huge web presence 3. They work closely with Nissan 4. They deal internationally
5. The parts manager is a very cool, layed-back person to deal with.

Of course, they have to mark them up a little in order to make it worth thier while. If I was a millionaire, I'd just give them away to whoever wanted them. Unfortunately, I'm no where near being financially able to do that. We had to scrape money up just to finish the production. That totally ate into my turbo, suspension, body-kit fund. All for you guys.

 

Being part of the "older crowd" myself the reason I liked them so much was because of how steath they are and unless you are a Z owner, you would not know they were not OE emblems, even when they lit up. When I've shown them to a couple of my friends, i've had to point out the Zignalz to them and tell them that's what I added. It didn't even occur to them to think that was an aftermarket part.

As far as the price, I was lucky enough to get them at a post-group buy/pre-full sale price, but I would definately pay the full sale price for them. But again, maybe that's because I'm older but to me it's not any different than paying extra to eat at a good restaurant or staying at a nice hotel.

 

+1!!!

 

oh how I wish I could still get a pair of these in white.

 

Too ricey for my taste, but you aren't me.

To me, this causes flashbacks of the numerous lighted Honda 'H' badges I see on the trunks and hatches of RSXs and Civics around town.

 

Not "ricey", as that term was played out when it originated back in 2000, but just ugly.

 

can't get em anymore

 

welll maybe someone will uncover a pair for sale. One can hope
