Default Extreme Dimensions 370Z "Hot Wheels" kit Build Thread

Hi guys,
I know quality & fitment mean everything when it comes to installing any aftermarket body kit so I wanted to start this thread to document the build process of our 370Z, and more importantly, a timeline of showing our "Hot Wheels" kit, as it is being prepped and installed.

****************************************************

Extreme Dimensions' 370Z @ SEMA (Hot Wheels Front Fenders, Wing & Hood shown).

So, to start things off, here are a few pics (much more to come!)

1/25/10 - the teardown begins

Yes, these pictures just show the initial test fit. Parts are not completely installed and are not properly mounted yet. I just wanted to keep you guys updated with the build progress. I will continue updating the thread with more and more pictures, showing the finished product at the end.

No major updates to report this week. Car should actually be painted and finished up in the next 2 weeks or so!

This is good start. I still want to talk to Jeff!

We can save ED in the eyes of its greatest critics.

Just get your fitment/quality issues under control and be consistent
with each and every product you ship.

Get this one perfect and you'll have a winner.

Thank you. That is why we are are on this and other forums - to give you all great deals, but more importantly, to show the quality of our products. It is not a bolt-on piece like an OEM bumper. But with some minor work, the finished product will look great. RAW has been super busy lately (Yes, they work on other cars besides our 370Z ) but I will make sure and get some progress pics later on this week.

Ok, guys, sorry again for no new pics.
I've been going to RAW a few times a week, but they have been super busy and our 370Z has been put on the back burner lately. The car WILL still be done in the next month or so.
Hit them up for any paint or body work though. Some of the cars I've seen them working on last week was a purple Mercedes S-class, the same color purple G35, and an Eclipse being done in the same color as our 370Z (Lambo Silver...car from Batman iirc).

I'm a little unsure about the front bumper, other than that, I really like it. Especially the blacked out headlights, damn those look good.
