Default 03-05 CCFL bumper reflector

Hey guys. Saw a couple threads on this for the 06-08 reflectors but none for 03-05 so decided to give it a shot. Hardest part was dremeling off the backing. Came out pretty good though. $40 in parts all together. =)

$20 for clear reflectors off ebay
$10 x2 for CCFL's off amazon

I did have to relocate the inverters after one burnt out after car washing/heavy rain. Didn't think that area of the bumper saw too much water. They're mounted up near the the top of the bumper by the fender now (not like in the pic). So far so good.

meh, the mounting is pretty much the same thing the 06-08 guys were doing:

https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...-ccfl-diy.html
https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...cs-inside.html

I don't care for the pinpoint lighting on some've the premade led reflectors and paying a couple hundred bucks for something like the zleds seemed silly so I went this route.

Honestly during the day you can't even see the CCFL behind them unless you're on the ground a couple inches away. Was thinking about adding some white backing which would make them even less noticeable and would make it light up as one continuous piece rather than 2 strips.
