Custom with high quality pipes and silencers not an option?

Look forward to feedback on these if possible?

Especially as your old ones weren't terrible to start with.

Quite like this pic someone (@frmotive) snapped. Not the highest quality but i like the moody look

I wanted some DRLs/sequentials for my new bumper, but being a DE choices are pretty limited. So i made my own

I bought some clear reflectors and split them open 'carefully' . Then i made a notch for wires to come out and inserted my own switchback LED strip:

All the wiring is heat wrapped and the refelector resealed with Butyle and just a couple clamps  :

Spliced into side lights and indicators, tinted with some film and fitted back in:

Here they are in operation

Took a bit of time, but i am very happy with how they turned out. Finish is OE:

More to come...

Been ages since i updated.

My Nismo N1 went away to be fixed. It had some severe cracks:

Was all ground back and refilled with fiberglass

Went with gloss black center. Pretty happy with it. Does need some compounding/polishing etc but havnt had time

Sorry for the late feedback.

Fits perfectly under by two 3" exhaust pipes. Well made, Bolts all line up bang on. Very happy, even more so when considering the price.

Only 'negative' is you cannot retain the plastic splash trays where the rear kidneys are.

Thanks again for making these.

PS: will post pics soon

All, 3 bottles of genuine Nissan gear oil for the manual gearbox for £46.00 delivered. 
 

Only three sets available at this price.

 

 

i will take a set please

Is it still recommended to put in some Molyslip with this?

Couple pics i took at JDM vs The World meet at Okham Bites

i do really like these. I had a g35 for a while. Shame they didnt come out here

Came out very nice. Like the colour  

If you really want you can ceramic coat an exhaust. Its not really affected by heat

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the oem rear lip spoiler 

Nothing major TBH

I have a Strosek spoiler and was thinking about mounting it without the OEM lip spoiler. Using the lip spoiler to create pieces i can mold into the Strosek to get it to sit correctly. Easier than making them from scratch.

However im really undecided whether to do that or fit it in the normal manner.

You sure you've not got the beauty filter on in these pics too?  You look younger than when i first met you. 🤣

That looks epic!!! Great work, look at those welds 😍

Im very happy with how it turned out, 

Love those welds too lol, thought it was just me. The exhaust is very high quality, just like the rest of the APS kit. no complaints even after all this time 

I think youre right, its probably more work than its worth. Plus the black internal polished outside kinda looks appropriate on my tips.

@HEADPHONESI will post a couple pics when i get a chance to. Not easy to get the details at night as the camera just blurs it into one source.

Thanks @davey_83 Took my time and did it to the best of my ability.

Did some exhaust polishing recently.

Was a little dull

Foam cones and White Diamond worked a treat

Tho polish even leaves some protection as you can see from the beading 

Lots of elbow grease, but the drill helped alot. Will do the rest when i have the car on a lift one day.

Did pipes and rear silencers the other day actually. Would like to do the rest of the system some time. Used some foam cones and White Diamond metal polish. Very pleased with the results. Posted in my build thread.

I wouldnt mind doing the inside of the tailpipe, but not sure the best way to go about it. Its pretty caked on in there

Been a while since i updated the thread. Have done a few bits though. 

One of which was attempt to sort a problem i had with one of the Depo headlights building up moisture, which im pretty upset about tbh. I decided to split and reseal in an attempt to fix, and while i was at it did a headlight mod i always liked. 

Split using oven. (preheat to 120C, remove all screws and place in oven for 6-7mins and literally pull apart)

LED strip wired up, sheathed and secured with double sided 3m

Sanded down the areas i wanted the light to penetrate, masking of the rest.

Picture taken in daylight, They are wired in to the side light and i use them as DRLs

I used Butyl tape to reseal the lights, thats the proper stuff youre supposed to use. Also wear Latex gloves, you DO NOT want fingerprints inside the housing.

I tried but it doesnt picture so well, cameras dont like taking pictures directly into light, who knew  

Overall very happy with how it turned out. Lots of positive comments . I didnt want anything where you can see the strips/tubes etc. They look cluttered during the day imho. This way everything is hidden behind the shroud.
