Twentyfourouncer Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I need a drivers side (U.S. drivers side) headlight cover. Needs to be the chrome-ring style. I do not need the ring, I only need the cover. In useable condition, some wear is okay, but no visible cracking. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 honestly man, it's hard enough to find the jdm covers in general as a set. your chances of finding someone to just part with or just sell 1 of the covers is slim to none. I see you having to buy a whole new set just because of the rarity of these as they as NLA parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentyfourouncer Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I know. But I found 1 already from EvilC which has led me to this chase. I have a set of the aftermarket reproductions, and they just don't look as good as the originals, so now I am looking for another original one. I'm not in a hurry, and maybe I'll get lucky and somebody that has had a fender-bender in their Z (god-forbid) will have what I need. I would imagine people would hold onto these things like Clive did and maybe they will stumble upon my ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twentyfourouncer Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 Comparison photo showing difference between lens shape of Repro vs. OEM. OEM continues the lines of the car, repro just fills the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
310z Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well I have a friend that has 3 new pair, although he is not intrested in getting rid of them. However we realize the rareity of the plexiglass part. A few friends have talked of reproducing the lens through a vacume process using originals as a mold. If this ever happens I will let you know.

EvilC Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yeah I have been thinking of letting my NOS set go. I won't ever use them. lol Thanks for the pic comparing the two. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenJammin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Since this is thread related and will bump it, I hope this is not considered a threadjack, especially considering the overwhelming response to 24oz'rs request Anyhoo... is that repro in the picture like what you will get from Thailand on Ebay? To be more specific, there is one seller, 'gira7777' who puts up a set once in awhile (has one set for sale presently as a matter of fact). Not so often to appear he has a continuous inventory, as one would expect with repros, and they are used. I ask because his photos don't show this angle and it's hard to tell, so looking for anyone with an opinion or preferably experience with this seller or repros in general (?)

Twentyfourouncer Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think (but am not sure) that gira7777 sells both the repros AND oem/used ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhp123166 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 There's a complete set of JDM's available on Ebay. You should just buy them and then you have a spare!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twentyfourouncer Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 That IS an excellent suggestion, but I'm trying to limit my spending right now. No hurry, just hoping for a deal to come along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
