  1. The outlook of a 300zx panel being procuded is possible, but because of the "not very high" interest im not sure if we could run a line. As far as a flat taillight panel. 300zx taillights would not work with this panel because they are deceptively curved at the ends. A flat taillight panel would appeal to those doing the "corvette taillights". As silvia taillights, like 300zx taillights are curved at the ends, but at a greater degree than the 300zx taillights. So im not sure if this will accually become possible. Also as i have nno clue how the reverse light idea for the 300zx taillights would work. The chances of any of these being produced would take alot of planning, custom work, and model specific taillight panels designed only for that specific model....

  2. Id also like one of these, but one that would work with a msa type 3 body kit. And maybe you could produce a carbon fiber whaletail, ive asked in the past for one of these produced... I would def buy a carbon fiber whaletail and a carbon fiber msa type 3 airdam "lip" if you made them.

    Or one of these.

    Id provide a template if needed.

  3. I think most people would like a more universal tailight panel. Something like 280zforce's but with finished edges, bolts that make it bolt to the stock location and possibly a seal to prevent moisture from coming in the car.

    Thats the thing... i dont know if a "universal" taillight panel is even possible. Every taillight is shaped differently and has different depths.

  4. ya I dont think there required here. I would be painting it black anyway if got some so Id perfer fiberglass, its cheaper to.

     

    Right now Im looking mostly at the vett style round lights and making a FG panel for them.

    Probably what you said would be the best option. Just get the "euro style" (or is it jdm) white and red light version... Hook one of the bulbs on the white part up to the reverse lights...

  5. are the reverse lights required? i guess that might very by state tho?

     

    what if you got the set of Z32 tails that have the bottom light clear insted of amber and wire up one of the lights to be a reverse light to? Iv never looked at Z32 tail lights so idk if that will work but just and idea.

    Dan juday's car doesnt have them so i guess its not required. I dont know. I'm thinking we should just proceed with a design similar to the one ive posted. Flush with the body except for the liscense plate recess. Maybe we could mess around with the design when we get a mold. Maybe have the liscense plate recess covered in carbon fiber w/ the rest fiberglass. I dont think the whole panel being carbon fiber would look good? Because the 300zx tail lights have a smooth black border.

  6. Im interested in the idea, Iv been toying with different tail lights for my 240 but like AK-Z said, I would want to see the accual product first.

    I have as well, The only problem with my design is the reverse lights. Anyone have any ideas on what to do and where to put it? Photoshop a picture as an example...

  7. Hey guys,

     

    I have been talking to Rayven... some might know him as the guy who made the fiberglass doors with speaker holes. I talked to him about a fiberglass taillight panel that mounts flush with the back of an s30 chassis that allows for z32 300zx taillights. This conversion has been done twice that I know of on this forum(new40z and dan juday). This panel will be alittle different but will use elements from both designs. Before i go into further details... What is the interest on a z32 tailight conversion panel? Have any of you wanted to do it? Any buyers?
