How was the fitment? What brand of rep did you go with?

riteonjon

Fitment is 85% -90% good, passes my threshold of acceptance (I have very high standards)

VIS REPLICA

That's good to hear .... So give me the 10% to 15% fitment fail reasons if you can? Wanna see what I am gonna run into?

riteonjon

The lines along the taillight fit nicely, trunk to bumper has a slightly larger gap then stick. Left side where rear quarter panel and new bumper meets doesn't make a perfect circle, but if that's all, I'm okay with it.

Used CS replica $285
Install/prep/paint/modify to install lights and plates $1000

The satisfaction of having the best rear bumper for the Z, priceless!

Looking good, ROJ!!!

riteonjon

The Mic. I've read somewhere you're from the Bay Area, me too!

MicVelo

Yep, San Jose/Campbell. But you're in San Diego now? What part of the Bay you from?

NFAC

Hey im from the bay too. Who painted your bumper? I'm looking to get mine painted soon. I work on Moffett Field so I'm always in the South Bay.

riteonjon

I went to kee's autobody, in Concord. They did an okay job.
I'm from SD now live in Walnut creek!

Mikey R6

nice rims! loving the look. did you do the coil overs without a lift? how bad was it to do with a jack?

riteonjon

Thanks Mikey, I love the look too! As a designer by trade, I'm putting lots of thought into my work without having to sacrifice too much loot &

I'm assuming you have a Yamaha? Sick...I have a ZX6R.

Here in the Bay Area, million dollar homes are the avg, I'm an apt. Dweller, therefore I'll be going to a shop where you can use their lifts/tools etc. it'll be installed this Saturday. So I can't answer you on difficultly level without the lift cuz I'll be using one!

EDIT: haha u live in the Bay Area too! I'm going to Lift in Fremont. $45/hr, why a steal!

Mikey R6

yah I had a track R6 and a street R1 and my wife had a street R6. we sold all 3 to buy our home. were in the south bay. I think I'm near Mic I'm at the 101/85 area.

Before coils


After coils


Tanabe pro s-OC
Rear maxed out at 1.5, front at 1.25 with still .5" room to lower.


Assessment:
I definitely feel the road more, haven't had a chance for any spirited driving, but definitely feels lower. I wish the rear could go another .5", but it's maxed. Front is perfect.

NEXT ON THE DOCKET:
Paint door handles (I hate the silver)
Light coat of nightshade on rear taillights with clear coat
Carbon signal CF duck wing
chargespeed bottom line

Mikey R6

looking good! i think you should add tint to that list.

riteonjon

I like the clear look, always have. It's clean. I'm a minimalist to the extreme!
