Thanks for the compliments!

looks good, but i'd rather have the amber then those covers.

Well, I decided to take the headlight covers off today. I think I like the car better w/o them.

nice reflections, the best wax out there for that mirror look

here's my Polylack Nano Seal hood shot - its an acrylic wax

simply wipe on and let cure for 5 minutes. No ZFX, no mixing bottles, no layering needed

its optically perfect like Zaino but isnt so much like a mirror, it basically sits half way bw a mirror'd Zaino look and a deep wet glossy high quality carnauba. Longevity sits in the middle too

im a big fan of Zaino on light colored cars, but its a huge drainer for black cars

I like the headlight covers, although they might look better if you glued them on instead of using double stick tape which causes them to stick up higher..

The one thing I hate the most about the 350z's is its Big @ss headlights, they are way to big for the size of the car and look funky IMO... Its the one thing Nissan screwed up on... well that and the Big @ss chrome door handle that sticks out like a Zit... other then that I luv the body style

there are a few subtle eyelids which make the headlights look more streamlined

+1 I love the headlight covers but using the tape raises them to much and makes the cover to noticable.

i think the headlight covers look great when the lights are on at night.. definitely more of a porsche-esque look to it.. but ya, unfortunately they are not completely flush.. ah well!!

I went and got some black vinyl and made some eyelids that look like an extension of the hood. I think Blue Batmobile made them too. I just winged it and I love the looks of them. It cost me $15.00 for the vinyl and took 20 minutes to do. I will post pics if you guys want
