Default My 06 DB with clear reflectors!

Installed them today, love the way it looks now!







Next step is to get rid of that amber bulb in the turn signal.

By the way, I have a full clearbra kit on, can anyone tell?

+1 for an amazing install of the clear bra. oh and nice little thing.

Was this hard to install??? Also where did you get it and how much. It should look good on PPW.

It took a little time and creativity. I originally planned on taking off the entire front bumper, but when I got to that row of clips on top which are near the hood latch they would not come out no matter what. I even tried plyers. but anyways, after they didn't come out i gave up on that idea.. the drivers side is no problem, but the passenger side is a little tricky. I ended up taking out the lower splash guard, removing all of the clips and bolts, for the inner fender and right side of the bumper so it will move around a little and the i took a socket wrench with a 1/4" socket and put a screwdriver bit into it, then i manuvered my hand up through the bumper and got it out okay. I also had to use a long screwdriver to push the tab down so the reflector would come loose. it wasn't a stressfull install though, i had a fun time doing it

oh i picked it up in-store at performance nissan and i paid $42.50,
yeah it should look pretty sweet on PPW

haha that part of the curb is level to the asphalt. i'm about a good 8 inches away from the curb there, have to be careful not to stick out too much though, those cars to the left of me were coming pretty fast.

I'm getting chrome bulbs that light up amber from Evostyle.com. If you are ordering for an 06, be careful because they changed the bulb size for the fronts. I already notified them and thats why they are sending me a new pair for the front. The new bulb size is 3457NA in case you were wondering..

Looks great! I wanted to ask you what all did you have the clearbra installed onto?....fenders, bumper, hood, mirrors?

Just put my clear sidemarkers on too, I took my entire bumper off though as I remembered what a PITA the passenger side was with my old Z, this one was more difficult because of the way the reflectors clip AND screw in. I also put in my sport horns and fixed my CAI while I was back there...and cleaned up a bit, bunch of dirt up in there.
