No problem man. Just wanted to see how you were doing.

I opened the package with James, and it looks fantastic.

Creative motherf**kers like you.... create a clear distinction between having taste, and just tons of money: throwing a laundry list of expensive parts at the 350z.

Some people embarass this little community of ours, but you do the complete opposite.

Much props.

Yes. That's the first thing I noticed when I turned them on. They are definitely a lot brighter than the 03-05 HIDs. The high beams are just insane!

Got the kit through Vertex USA & the wing was purchased through the private classifieds here. Yeah, I definitely got lucky on the wing. I know a bunch of people are looking for it & I happen to find a guy who was parting out his ride.

Yeah, this seems to be the norm when us 03-05 guys upgrade to the 06 headlights. THE TECH...if you have DIY instructions on this fix, please PM me the link so I can test it out.

Well, if you're talking about the rainbow swirls you saw from Nitrouz's pics....no. That's because I didn't use a polarized filter lens when I took these pics. Under the sun, I don't recall seeing it either but I'm pretty sure they were caused by my filter.

GJ! I always wanted to see the 06 headlights done in a graphite/gunmetal versus using black. This color definitely looks great with SS!

Outstanding! You've done an excellent job putting everything together; bodykit, wheels, BBK, headlights. Looks factory yet much more.

If you can get the headlights to me by Friday, I can ship them out Saturday and you can get them by Monday. Overnight shipping is going to be expensive though. Send me an email to Dan@MrZipps.com
