Default A few cheap weekend mods...

Hey,
I spent £10 on both thers mods on sat afternoon.

No1, LED running lights.
Bumper off, drilled 4 holes and glued some super bright LED's in and wired them to my side lights. Easy as that!

No2, I did the bumper tuck mod which is not often done in the UK for some reason... however the underside of the car looked grotty and dirty from behind so I sanded the diff down and painted it in gold to mach the Brembos.

Tuck looks good. What paint did you use and you need to take the muffler heat shield off.

Well spotted! I was in 2 minds but after that comment its coming off!

I used Plasticote Acrylic quick dry paint. it took some pressing though as it was covered in black underseal.

Cheap and mods don't usually go together with Z's but this is a rare case of it worked out well. Nice work man!

not really feeling the leds. i'm actually currently designing and going to be rigging up my own running leds but it will be 12 leds on each side. Also going to throw in a relay to blink w/ the turns as well.

I must admit I wish I put 1 more in, still might squeeze another at the top of each reflector. Il get a night pic up as they are bright as hell! The beam spans about 10 foot out each side, im blinding padestrians at night
