I have ebay clears that fit well and don't collect water. i think the bumper lights are sealed and wont bake open. they shouldn't collect water.

Personally if you dont have a black car or black headlamps, you should get clear. it will flow alot better with the silver.

It gets lost in the bumper IMO. It adds a nice look when smoked. It's not as out of place as GTR overlays on an IP coupe.

Nope. Fairly straight forward. Take off the bumper, take off the four bolts per headlight that keep them on the car, unplug, then reverse.

No need
Let it sag off
No need to completely remove it. Save yourself some time

If ur gonna let it sag might as well remove it imo. Be prepared for the passenger side harness to be a tad short. Mine was

Well I don't have a splash guard so taking it off and letting it sag are the same to me. Haha

Oh and be VERY careful putting the bumper back on. Scratched my fender with the screw bracket of the bumper (near the headlight). I'm pretty good with touch up tho, so I fixed it.

Agreed. Makes it look a million times better. The lighting is an incredible upgrade as well.

04 z-tube fit on 06 coupe?

Hey everyone,

I've been looking around and I can't find a sure answer if a z-tube (intake) off a 2004 vq35de engine will fit my 06 coupe which has a VQ35HR.

Really appreciate it!

Now upgrade the bulbs and you'll be set
Lightwerkz told me that our projectors, while not TSX/s2k good, are still pretty solid and not a bad option.
Jectors are the best first exterior mod
