Replacing the headlights.
 
It's necessary for today's demand for fuel economy. All of the front panels overlap for reduced wind resistance. I remove front facia's to replace bulbs on almost a daily occurrence at my service shop. Although, I suspect there's a little more going on in the above pic.

I know but I don't particularly care for new styling anyways so it rules out anything new for me.

You'd be right. I was replacing the entire headlight assembly on both sides. When I replaced the park light bulbs with LEDs, I discovered the LH light was held in by gravity. I've always wanted a set of SiR headlights and got a good deal so decided to replace the old ones.
 
Not bad, but do they make a black back clear corner for your car?

It's got SiR park lights on it which have a black surround. It doesn't help that the park lights are on. :lol:

I might pull the old ones apart and see if I can make a black corner light with them.

I see the black surround now, might just be the angle of the picture that makes it look completely white. Probably looks better in person than it does in pictures.

Here's a phone photo of my 300zx in front of the big lobster in Kingston SE. These big things are pretty common tourist attractions over here. In fact I've seen a sheep, an olive branch, a koala, this lobster and a fish in the last year alone :lol:

There's also the Big Pineapple in Queensland.
 
I surely look like a poor bastard with nothing more than a turbo brick among all the sports cars but here goes anyway.

That other car in the top pic is actually my old car. Included in Gran Turismo :D I just hope some day my new car will make it to Gran Turismo, the predecessors and successor is in the game, so why not this one? 💡
