My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"

Hey Matt, How are you going to keep water out of those? It's been my experience that moisture inside of the plastic will condensate. My Subaru Forester has a damaged seal on on of the headlights and there gets to be a lot of condensate inside. I actually drilled a couple of small holes in the lens to let the accumulated water out. They want about $180 for one and you have to dismantle the front end to get them out. And because the lenses are damaged by uv ,and because if one is going to dismantle the front end one should replace both at a cost of $300+ I have just been putting it off. Just wondering......

 

Cheers, Mike

I really like the slight wider rim and the thicker sidewall. Subtle, but looks much better IMO. Best part is my wife has no idea I got new wheels!!  :D
