First Garage Mak kit in the US!

The car has come a long way since this happened... https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zS1kLBUSlJc/S-r3t38tiDI/AAAAAAAAAsE/hHY2RUj-woI/w800-h600-no/DSCF0376.JPG Find the thread here (https://my350z.com/forum/the-lounge-off-topic/389628-horrible-body-shop-experience-details-inside-350z-ruined.html). I fell in love with the kit when I saw it on Import Tuner's Facebook. They had pics of Garage Mak (www.garagemak.com/z33.html)'s Z33 at HKS Premium Day in 2013. Ordered the kit in March of this year through a friend of Mastermind (http://mastermindna.com/). https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pXk7n_Ev9AA/VHwFRjdvHUI/AAAAAAAAOB8/k5U874yFBAA/w923-h692-no/2013-HKS-premium-day-nissan-fairlady-Z33-15.jpg Decided to get new wheels to go with the new kit: Volk TE37sl in Magnesium blue, 18x10.5 +15 all around on Dunlop ZII tires. I've had the kit installed since July, but haven't had a photo shoot until recently. Andrew (Project Definition) hasn't had time to edit the rest of the pics, so here are some pics from the shoot and some that were taken here and there since I got the kit. Will probably go with the wide body later next year.

Nice job bud!

Your car definitely has come a long way since then. I'm not usually too into the aggressive looking set ups but both iterations of your car look great. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Chris! Of course you can see it when you come to Cali! Just let me know when you plan on coming by. I go to a lot of meets and shows, so I'm sure there will be something around the time you come by. Or we can make a meet just for you!

Yeah, this new setup is more aggressive, that's for sure. But not everyone has it!

Thanks! I was afraid this would look too aggressive, but the more I looked at the kit, the more I wanted to have it.

I love the rear bumper.
