new parts came in today, pix of my car, and question for the 350z group...........
i say SMOKED reflectors. I'm going to go clear myself, but that's b/c it's a better contrast with the Brick plus it goes with my wheels better.
I think smoked look better w/ your wheels and front.

damn John...Looks killer!!! I was very,very close to ordering that carbon front Finisher as well,..but don't know if it will work w/ the NISMO Lip I have on the way!??
HOW thick is that carbon fiber peice?....The lip is gonna fit over the Stock bumper kinda like this---it will look just like it but its not Top Secret?? I would like for it to be on there too,..but not sure if that will be overkill on the front end,..but either way!! You car is killer!!!
I gotta slam mine like yours,..I got eibahs on the way but I'm gonna throw the Sprints on and I bet its the same drop you got!!!
KEEP IT UP!!!!

John,
I would go with the Smoked. It is a better contrast and also matches the black in the front head lights. I would say it would match your wheels, but it looks like you are getting new ones.
thanks,

When did your parts show up? My lights haven't been delivered yet.

John car is always changing with new mods every day. His mods are very simple that gives it a clean look.
I wish I had John car now. lol
Yeah, in my opinion, i would rather keep my side marker clear...

John, I agree with Matix... go with the smoked lenses up front for the contrast. The clear just seem to disappear into the PPW.
Oh, and though you didn't ask, I'm not too crazy about the finisher up front. It looks fine from head on, but from the side seems out of place. Just my .02

Something has a "Wing of Doom" on it,..can't make it out?
Yes,...go w/ the Smoked--I got em on mine(PPW) and they break up the color on the front bumper quite nicely+Its JDM y0!---Clear is kinda Rice IMO--not into clear anything on cars?Never likes the Clear reflectors anyway,.but thats me,..who am I?
Go with the clear... but that is my opinion.
I have the smoked since I am in Japan... original parts. I think they look best with Silverstone -- otherwise I would have opted for the clear.
Clear looks great on most other colors --- especially CS and black.

I say clear.
Your car looks super clean, looks great...I think the smoked would take away from that clean look.
Thumbs up on the CF finisher too, that makes a BIG difference IMO
Don't do a thing to the exterior
throw on some FI and be done!

scully32-i installed the sport horns today. i didn't have to take the front bumper off to install them like the instructions said because i have skinny arms.
anyways, it took me 20-30 minutes to install. not really impressed with the sound. i thought it would be way louder.
anyways, the sound is good enough though. wish i could do a wave file for you, but i am not a computer guru. hopefully somebody does a sound file for the 350z board soon. the nissan jdm sport horns imho are not worth it.
synergytheory-thanx for your opinion.

Man, your car looks awesome! I want to get a set of the smoked reflector for my car. Does the bumper need to come off to put them on, or can you just pull the original ones off, and snap on the new ones?
