I like your hood scoop, any info on it, thanks, bob,

I cant believe Im saying this but, I kinda like it.

got the pm.........excellent

Man, you've got some work ahead of you. Props for trying something new! Good luck...and I'm with you, can't stand the popups (look cool, work for $h!t).

I have to be honest. I just dont like it.

not sure if i like it or dont like but it sure makes me take a second look

Interesting. One suggestion which may be a lot of work but will finish what you started is to extend the front hood line downward into part of the bumber so that it more naturally follows the contour created by the bottom of the ZX lamps. An easier alternative would be a two tone paint scheme that would create a similar line.

interesting, granted the C4 headlights suck, would like to see side view pics and under hood pics. What year(s) z work for this conversion?

What's wrong with C4 headlights? I always thought they were pretty cool, the way they flip forward.

JDM 90-99 NISSAN 300ZX Z32 FAIRLADY, looked at alot of headlights before i picked these and found some interesting info about these headlights they are the same headlight in the Lamborghini diablo

I'd like to see what it looks like when you finish. :thumbs:

Can you give me some info on your rims and tires? They look great on that car.

as long as you like it, it does not matter what we say. Personally, I like the flip up headlights on vettes.

I actually like the look. The only problem with it is how it would be installed. The 300 ZX headlights are far more vertical than the headlights used on the corvette. You would end up using about 2 feet of hood to get enough height to fit the light.....

Thinking...thinking...thinking...

I need to draw this up just out of curiosity.

I do like the look of it though. It copies the lines of the fog lights VERY well and definitely does a better job of connecting the front clip with the hood than the stock lights.

the height and angle is almost the same

You would be surprised what just a few degrees can do. If I was back home I would go to a junk yard and pick up the headlight enclosure for both and see what I could do. It's definitely something to think about.

Why would you want to undo what it took GM engneers many hours to accompolish?

lmao!:rofl:
