this is the reason I stop posting and coming to the Z forums, most of you are so opinionated and anything not pure 100% JDM is a puke bucket.

no problem, all I wanted was some insight on the headlights, and thx for a few of you who stayed on topic. Now I know it is definitely a toyota headlight put into a 350z housing.

The headlights were the most desirable part of that car, if it makes you feel any better

I'm not big on the JDM thing, I could care less where something was made & I don't sport a Fairlady badge on my LHD US car. But if someone asks my opinion, I'm going to give it. I realize that some things that look like a steaming pile of shyte to me, might look great to you. That's no reason to make such a blanket statement about everyone on these forums.

Take the last car that I sold as an example - it was a maxima that I had for 5 years and that I had already put 200k miles on since I travel a lot. The interior was pretty much immaculate, but the outside had seen better days because of the long hours on the road. I thought that it was a piece and that it was probably not going to last much longer... so I perceived it's value as low. However, the guy from the trailer park that bought it was absolutely excited about it because he couldn't believe that he could afford to buy a car that was only 5 years old for that price. He thought it was made out of gold.

Proof that one man's crap is another man's gold. Maybe this car is your gold?

If it's just the lights that you're wanting input on, I'm sorry that I went off-topic and commented on the car, but in my world, it was worth commenting on. You had to expect to get some type of response with that particular car pic. Anyways, the lights are the thing that I dislike the least on that monstrosity. But at the end of the day, if you like them, go for it. There are things that I do to my car that other people on here don't like. Go with what YOU like.

It's been awhile since i've seen Q45 output pictures but I don't recall them being all that great. If your going for performance i'd definitely go dual projectors with 50W ballasts. But if your going for wicked looking mods then the Q45's qualify.

Proof?

I seriously doubt it is an Eclipse, front wheels are too far away from the door and firewall meaning its probably another RWD car of some sort. Not to mention the windshield frame is different.





So unless its had some mechanical conversions, converting to RWD for instance.... then maybe, but then can you still call it an Eclipse?

Default Miata?

I thought that the windshield, softtop and rear (that I could see) looked more like a Miata.
