Default headlights

hey there guys one more question from me i have talked to a few headlight companys such as oracle and am trying to find some one to build the 350z headlight to look like the 2014 stingrey headlight becouse when you look at the two headlights they fallow the same line but they are diffrent so if you guys either know of a company or a actual conversion kit but i couldnt find one besides building it myself which i dont mind doing it just i would like it to be as close as possible.

It's a relatively inexpensive sports car but that doesn't mean folk want to dress it up like a Mexican truck with bull stickers on the side doors. No disrespect but I'm guessing you're picking the incorrect model to sell this to. But if not?, more power to you.

Why bother, it'll just end up looking similar to these. Then your car would just look riced out.

Starting to wonder about your build/plans there Mr. Kylin Nelson... I hope your Z doesn't become riced out but to each their own. Would also recommend on some grammar lessons.

As for your topic, i believe your pretty limited to what you find on the net unless you have the skillz to customize your own set of headlights (not easily done without a good understanding of electronics).

You basically want to bondo the headlights up to your car, that trend died back in the late 90s and it was rice back then as well.

i usually use just type out what i want im not to worried about grammer and i dont think its close to ricer it is brickyard color and i order gold vsxx works wheels and quick silver finish wilwoods and then megan racing coilovers and then im sand blasting the rest of the suspension hardware and powder coating it in our shop. so idk if it is ricer i just think it would look cool with the stingrey headlights. and we could make the lights but i would prefer not to i mean we do complete car builds from the ground up so i think we understant the electrical standpoint but thank you for your concern it is a new market for us we normally do 50s to 70s muscle cars so if it gets to ricey tell me

You want to "fit" Stingray headlights onto your 350z using bondo... I mean fiberglass. Like I said, that trend died back in the late 90s and it was considered rice then. Why don't you do the conversion and post up plenty of pics, see how this forum responds. Keep in mind I've been here for quite some time and pretty much have seen it all.

I see you got some nice wheels and brakes but did you ran out of money when buying coils?

People view the term rice differently... here's my view of rice for a 3fiddyz.

Lambo doors
Audi day time running lights
GTR/Aston Martin front end conversion
Your 'stingray' headlight... my 2 cent, good luck mang.

Agree on the Coilover side of things, all that coin for wheels and brakes and then $600 coils???? just hope your suspension doesn't fail on you with those nice wheels and brakes...

I personally find that modifying your 350z to emulate anything other then what it is is pretty ricey and tacky!... if you want a cool build I would steer towards Nissan's GT cars, unless your trying to go a "need for speed" then you might be on your own as far as opinions go because they usually won't be to favourable for you..
