ttsupra94, Jonathahg35 - This dent is suppose to be pretty good. With some very good prices. Their company car will be on hand to do a demonstration for everybody and who ever is interested. I think can get it done at the meet. Btw, the owner of the company is also a Board member and a owner.

w1ngman - Glad to see you can make.

 

I'm there!

 

i'll be there! im a new Z owner...hope to see what people have done, get some ideas for what i wanna do. see u there!

 

Hey,
That's a great S2K! Forgive my ignorance, but what is a clear corners conversion? I was kind of excited reading your post, but it was like one of those TV commercials for some prescription medicine that tells you to ask your doctor if it's right for you, but never really tells you what it's intended to treat Anyway, look forward to meeting you and/or seeing your work.



Want 2 C my Z?

 

free food... entertainment.... car info.... dent removal... im there no doubt... bondin time for my fellow Z brotha's haha

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that he changes out the long amber strip inside your headlight casing to a clear one.

BINGO!


Yup, my service would be to pull your headlamp assemblies out of your car, go through a series of steps to open each headlamp assembly, remove the amber reflective strip from inside each assembly, and finally seal the puppy back up. Then reinsert the headlight housing into the car and reinstall the bumper.

Only clarification I would make is that I do not supply the available clear headlight reflector strips for the internal housing. If an owner so desires, they may purchase a set of clear stripes from => Ares <= (a member on your community boards here that offers an OEM replacement to the amber strips within your headlamp housing...but in clear ).

This is what the Z headlamp would look like after the conversion with only the amber strip removed:

Here is a pic (or a PS) of Ares clear headlamp replacement strip... Still a relatively new offering for your vehicle:



[Above image is courtesy Mike Wazowski...a board member. I will remove this pic if so requested]

A separate thing worth considering (shown also in the above pic)...but certainly something to see done while the bumper were off if you're looking for that "completely clean/clear front"...would be to replace the amber clear side/corner reflector marker located vertically in the front bumper as well . These seem to be available through various vendors/sites.




Warning: As old_s13...a CA owner...posted on your boards, "The amber reflector on the Z is only needed because the law requires an amber "reflex reflector" PLUS an amber "side-marker." Since the lower side-markers from the factory are non-illuminated, they use the lens in the headlight to illuminate amber. However, you cannot have one without the other.. both are technically needed in order for the 350Z to be road-legal." You should check your own county/state provisions regarding any of these modifications and appreciate that you will assume the liability if this meets negatively with Johnny Law. With the Honda S2000s, I have cleared many a set now and oftentimes replaced the bulb behind the diffuser to that of an amber bulb (sometimes even "stealthed" it through a home-grown masking/painting process for owners). Then, when the turnsignal is actuated, it still results in an amber turning indicator...and seems to meet with acceptable inspections in the Mid-A area. But again, I will not assume legal liability for this mod. Please appreciate that right up front. All I assume liability of is my workmanship...and of that, I guarantee it for 3 months (which is plenty of time for anything "bad" to have happened). And I have had 100% success with each and every conversion I've performed to date .


Jeff...my apologies for monopolizing this thread... But as you'd made the suggestion that I introduce my services to our regional owners, this is perhaps the best way to do it (outside of word-of-mouth). Thanks again!

I have a 2003 350Z Track with an 8 pound ATI kit and thinking about going. How far from raleigh NC?

 

So is this going to be like a workshop?

 

5-6 Hours. But you are boosting. So I guess maybe 3-4 hours?

 

No, sorry. Just an opportunity for me to meet the local 350Z and G35 community. Let them know the service I provide, and if interested (seeing my work on Drew's car at the upcoming meet), hopefully folks will seek my services locally.

- Dave

 

May i bring 2 sti's and maybe a wrx? along with 3 z's including myself of course

 

Guys, feel free to bring people. But just for the topic this whole meet was meant to be dedicated to this community. And we haven't posted about this meet in any other forum. Due to I want you guys to get a chance to meet each other, and we want to see this community grow bigger within ourself.

 

One of the things that has made me love my S2000 so much is our own community of fellow S2000 owners and how well we've fostered a true sense of family.

Jeff, just so there is no confusion or mixed signals for your 350Z and G35 owners/members/enthusiasts...I do not *have* to travel up and introduce myself. Meeting me is something that folks could do over time through conversion efforts on my part with their car(s). I do not want to break the sense of community in that regard whatsoever because I treasure it so much in my own community. So if it would be easier for you to manage requests of folks asking if they could bring non-Z/G vehicles to the meet...please feel free to know that I'll kindly bow out.

Drew's car will speak for my work with or without me present at your upcoming meet

- Dave

 

Drew is very excited for w1ingman to do this job.

Drew is very excited about the meet on the 13th!

Drew is NOT excited however at the fact he still probably will not have fixed the uh, "license" plate incident from many months ago on baby's rear bumper.

get that fixed!

 

Guys, feel free to bring non z / g owners. We have no problem with any other cars showing up. There will be a few s2000, nsx, or maybe supras at the meet. But this is not a typical Evolution Meet. Its more dedicated for this community. But w1ngman, you are free to come and bring your car. Its all for fun.

Jeff

 

Capital G club will be there too, about 5-8 of us.
