Default Carbon Headlights

Pictures coming tomorrow of the first set.
These are great for show or guys tracking their Z's.
The OEM headlights are pretty heavy and run about 700 each if you break one at the track.
These are full carbon replacements for the 350Z's headlights.
Pictures tomorrow.
We will be running a sale on them if anyone is interested please email

gonna agree with failsafe on that one.

so is this a complete replacement, lens and all? bolt in your HID bits and go?

you mention stock is 700$, do we take that to mean yours will be less? very impressive if you produce them for under 700$, assuming that includes the clear housing cover lens thingy.

what about reflective surfaces? I had asked around regaurding painting the reflective surfaces behind the HID and brights, but was told light output would be impaired.

look foward to what you come up with.

I think you'll find the idea is you take out your headlights and put these on/in to cover the holes. ie they're not operational lights.

Would these new headlights get rid of the orange strip found on OEM ones? Is there a blacked out version of these headlights?

I will post some pictures once I get into the shop today.
They are complete replacement housings in carbon.
We use these on our race cars because the OEM headlights weight about 15- 20 lbs each
No lights.....well not yet anyway.......that is in the works.
From what I heard they will be in the $550-$650 range for a set.
These are complete housings made in carbon and not just a cover.
Pic's today.

OMG....Cannot wait to see that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you guys can make the headlights look like the JGTC Z33, that will be looking great.... just need to reposition the headlights bulbs a bit lower...etc, the zed will actually look very mean! Please post some pics!!!! Will be interested in that if the headlights are on the housing as well.

cheers,

richie
