vex008's Ibis White 350z Build
Well, originally wanted PPW but the closest color my region dealer for the Caribbean (I live in the Cayman Islands) had to the PPW was SilverStone in the 6MT Touring model, so that was the choice.
One of the only pictures I took of it while in stock form.
September 12, 2008 Friday Rush Hour Traffic
Leaving a plaza and crossing two lanes where both lanes stopped to let me out. Turning into the center turning lane, van overtaking down the turning lane tore off front bumper along with the left headlight, fender and hood slightly damaged.
Back from body shop and paint – color change Audi TT Ibis White
First mod – ADVAN RS-D Matte Black with powder coated white edge 19x9 +25 19x10 +15 w/ 25mm spacer front and 30 mm spacer rear (picture is without spacers on)
Car has been coming together in the past few months.
Most is pretty recent except for the hood, but list of parts installed so far:
Asuka Type 2 Hood
Hood Strut – only one required
CF Radiator Cooling Plate
Show-N-Go License Plate
Black front bumper reflectors
+06 Headlights - matte blacked out
+06 Tail Lights
Rear Turn / Reverse Light – clear lens made and painted housing matte black
Adam’s Rotors – Sport II (overslotted) Gold Zinc Coated
Eibach Rear Camber Arms
Powered By Max Rear Toe Rod
Powered By Max Coilovers
Powered By Max Shift **** – Gold / Copper weighted core
Black Alcantara Shift Boot with white stitching
Few other items sitting in storage and some still on their way. Wheels need alignment... will update with pictures once that is done.

Future plans.
Cleanup / Finish off trunk.
Remove Z on rear trunk strut possibly add a sub in the center wood flooring; guessing I will tackle audio and new seats and other interior aspects at the same time as all of that is stock right now.
Redo the Aluminum strips (rattle can painted copper) want to get them properly coated and more durable finish. Remove all hardlines and hyperpolish and clear coat as well. Didnt have time to get done before show.
Here is how the trunk sits now
Have Asuka CF hatch to be installed.
Going to start engine / power mods shortly and just continuing my research on NA vs FI until I have the funds in place to pull the trigger on either.
I have always leaned towards the NA (despite the low hp and bang for your buck factors) but do consider spending so much money I know I would want significant gains.
Might be a new wheel&tire setup in the near future as well.
