This is TEMPORARY until my buddy and I design 2 brackets and see what we like better. I've also upgraded the wiring harness to a plug and play 12 gauge unit with relays and fuses. I love the output. It's incredible on low beam and highs are insane! I'll have output photos tonight if I get a chance. I took some of these photos at a higher shutter speed to darken the image and allow you to see the lit lights a little better:

OH.. and I honestly don't care if people think it's ugly. I don't mind. I have headlight covers (smoked) that I run sometimes during the day and as I said, custom mounting brackets are being made and will look 100% better. :-P
Freshly taken in the rain, beam patterns of Low & High:

Edit: Here are a few more recent photos from when my g/f and our friend "stole" my Z at Sonic lol...
I'll most likely be pulling the factory fogs and replacing them with 50mm micro projectors:
Edit (6/24/08): The current updates are projector fogs:
Added Projector Fogs to Match Edit: (6/27/08): Added a 5000k HID kit, though I REALLY wanted 4300k. I couldn't beat the price so I went with these. Unfortunately it IS a pnp kit, but I'm dealing for now. Photos are stock H9 bulb on driver side and HID setup on passenger side:
The HID isn't as blue as it looks, it is fairly white, but not the 4300k I really wanted:

Edit: (7/14/08): I needed to sand my headlight buckets so they would be flat black. I was having too much reflection (In my opinion) from the glossy black paint that comes from the factory. I am still having some reflection issues, but won't know 'til tonight how much the sanding helped (or not). Overall, I am still extremely happy and satisfied with this mod!
EDIT: (7/28/08): After sanding down the headlight buckets to reduce glare, I now have these cut off photos:

I've since sanded them down even MORE to further reduce the glare:
