Opinion on Super Made 180sx light Cover convertion. - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Dorifto12 · 03-21-2008, 02:27 PM

to me it depends on the ext. mods the car has i've seen that kit on a coupe and didn't like it, on F.bs they look nCe.

BattleRoyale · 03-21-2008, 02:39 PM

looks ok but hella impractical

probably wont be able to see shit at night plus 1200 bucks not worth it

silviaguy240 · 03-21-2008, 02:55 PM

buy just the covers and do your own retrofit. cheaper and better light output

an_orange_s2k · 03-21-2008, 04:21 PM

i like them but i would use 1200 on other stuff

hotlavaflow · 03-21-2008, 04:32 PM

Probably priced like that because they are D.O.T. Approved HID Driving lights and not just HID fog lights (I'm guessing). IDK You could buy the covers and just throw a pair of these in there or something like them.

Personally I'd throw $1200 at some coils, JDM madd-tyte wheels, pistons and rods, turbo upgrade..... I digress.

ROIDMONKEY · 03-21-2008, 04:39 PM

and if u ask grant for it he would buy it, but for him no u LOL

lflkajfj12123 · 03-21-2008, 05:49 PM

they're cool

but unless your car can pull them off then don't get them

HyperTek · 03-21-2008, 05:53 PM

dam i didnt know harbor freight had hid lights lol

i wonder how the light output is on them

origin_s135 · 03-21-2008, 06:01 PM

like most people said, if your car can pull it off it's all good. just don't get these lights and add it to a stock body 240sx. then it would really be a waste of money, knowing that the $$$ could've went to something else.

am I wrong when I say that I swear I've seen a knock off of these (or something like this) a long time ago all over ebay?

smelly240 · 03-21-2008, 07:00 PM

raceon sells knockoffs.

bboyoracle · 03-21-2008, 07:16 PM

Knock offs ruin the tuning scene >_<

No, people who worry so much about what others think ruin the tuning scene.

Do what YOU want man, if you need other people to convince you how cool they are then you dont want them that bad and you are DEFINITELY not pushing out 1200 bucks for em.

bboyoracle · 03-21-2008, 07:46 PM

FYI I have seen the raceon buckets for sale because of their fitment

SR20d2fourT · 03-21-2008, 07:53 PM

why not just fab something up yourself?

1200 is a LOT of money

whiterps13 · 03-21-2008, 08:03 PM

For like $600 you could retrofit some -real- HID projectors in a badass custom housing.

Then take the $600 you saved, get it all in dollar bills, and go show off your new headlights at the strip club. You might actually be able to see at night too!

wisDOMination · 03-21-2008, 08:04 PM

i love them
go with the supermade kit, or the race on knock off's
i was planning on going with the race on knock off's
but changed my mind and planned on fabbing one out myself

go ahead, be a hater cause my shit is gonna be a "knock off" and not the "real deal". at least i can say i have the skills to fab one myself, which are skills YOU probably wont have, since you'd rather spend money rather than to TRY and make one yourself. (this goes to people who whine about knock off's being wrong... knock offs are wrong most of the time, but at certain points, they're not)

bboyoracle · 03-21-2008, 08:11 PM

that doesnt even make sense lol

Some help for the OP Contact Van at onetongarage.com. Team Aero-k or JDMPalace can get you supermade parts as well. Good luck with whichever way you go.

maybe because you ain't reading right?
at certain points, knock offs are alright. like for example, these headlights. you can fab one yourself instead of buying the real ones. so you can actually LEARN how to do something, and maybe APPRECIATE the part a little more, knowing you fabbed it yourself.

its wrong when you go and buy other peoples (mass produced) knock off's.

Aeroscraper326 · 03-21-2008, 10:32 PM

Your basically paying for the name with these.. Quality is still excellent though.

*exitspeed* · 03-22-2008, 09:32 AM

For $1200 you could make better ones yourself.

Someone was selling a set on here a few months and I thought they look like shit.

firelizard · 03-22-2008, 11:20 AM

You want an opinion?

Overpriced and hideous.

I <3 pop-ups.

Carisma•FR · 03-24-2008, 02:57 PM

I have this setup for 2 years now...
Raceon replica with $50 Hella driving lights, bright as hell. Only issues I got is a small crack on one of the lens. Other than that no issues whatsoever.

xsparc · 03-24-2008, 03:05 PM

Carisma•FR has it right... looks good but 1200 is way too much

bsilvias13 · 03-24-2008, 03:16 PM

i know a guy that has hid kits in any color for 400 and a friend is running them and they are sikkk nasty bright. and they are here in the us the company is called jam audio there out of brunswick me. call there and ask for dennis hes one of the owners.

NismOkatFreaK · 01-30-2009, 07:46 PM
