Welcome aboard Briareus! I HIGHLY recommend the bumper light/signal light mod. I just did it last night and wish I would have done it as my first mod. Looks cool and is great for increasing safety when changing lanes.

Also, check out the fellas over at www.zcarsofnebraska.com we've got a Lincoln chapter. They are a GREAT group of fellas to be associated with. One of us G guys got a ztube off of one of the 350 guys locally too. So, the support is there and very solid.

clear corners sure look nice. I want to change the city lights to HID and the sides to LED, then probably video input to my nav and hook up my xbox and a backup camera.

Have you every heard of or played a Tower Defense game?

If not here's an example:
http://www.kongregate.com/games/pree...er-defense-1-5

If so .... I'm currently developing one for the XBox Live Indie Games Marketplace. We're still a little ways out from having a complete product. We have a lot of final artwork and balancing to do ... but ... thought I'd mention it cause we need to build a community

Check out our project and progress here http://www.mezzaninegames.com/

You can play it in the car ... BUT NOT WHILE DRIVING.

Sure, np... here ya go:

http://www.6mt.net/mod-g35-sidemarker.php

Those are the exact directions I used and it turned out awesome! Took me a bit longer than the average bear, but thats because I have some pretty bad OCD and everything had to be perfect with my wiring. So i re-used the stock loom and rubber wire sheath as well as made sure to re-use the plastic wire holders. But, if you look under my fender liner at the wiring, you couldnt tell any difference from stock at all.

As for a meet, yea lets try and coordinate something.

Hell yea, those are the games I love to hate! LoL, addictive as hell. Would be sweet to have one on the marketplace though, I'm sure I'd play the hell outta it between playing WaW and MW2 (when it comes out).

Updates ...

Molds came out of the trunk last night. One side came out better than the other, my own fault, but no loss. I just have to do some patch work. Photos are in the gallery!

Also ... The game I mentioned, we entered it into a development contest. Still a work in progress, so we're hoping mainly to make an impression and get some feedback from other developers. Check out the latest video demo here: http://www.mezzaninegames.com/

That looks like a giant pain in the ****! Do you build it up after you get that initial mold? Cuz it kinda looks thin. Either way, looks like its gonna be pretty sweet.

As for the game, that looks cool too. I could see it being pretty cool once it is all finished.

Yeah, did a thin two layers of the mold in the trunks space to get the shape and the rest of the build up will be done outside the car. I'll be doing the build up tonight and will continue updating the photos.

Both sides will have a painted finish ... at the moment thinking a high gloss black to compliment the exterior. Perhaps a subtle embellishment to add a personal touch. Not sure on that yet.
