Hi, iam new here at my350z, i bought my Z 2months ago.
This is my first car im doing any work on myself, i wrapped my handles and controllthingy in "carbon fiber", changed out the grey leather on the armrest to black suede and holstered up the doors with leather and red stiching, i did not like the Zs original interior on the doors and it was pretty worn-down.

The picture are not the best and it looks better IRL , first post btw woho!

Looks great!

And yes, that V2 wouldn't even need to be painted for use on my KY0 car! Dibbs!

If you Californians weren't so far away, it could be on your car today! Lol

And sadly, no it is not the urethane one. Its the VIS Racing Fiberglass version. Bought this off a friend about 2 weeks before the poly version was announced

The new bumper ( and old bumper ) look great. Will you be doing the paint?

Installed carbon hood dampers. Simple yet effective since my hood seems to always be open.

Well, not today, but I recently sold my '08 SMB 350Z Enthusiast with just under 13K miles. I'll miss it, but I still have the 370Z so I'm still in the Z family. I'll eventually sell the Z34 in a few years to get a different type of sports car.

Broke my damn lower control arm trying to press out a bushing. My first time using a shop press, maybe my last. New piece of aluminum costs $208 and I will still be stuck with the shitty OEM bushings. I was going to change the bushings in the upper control arm and compression rod, but I think I'll pass unless I can find a local shop to do the pressing.

Got a bung welded into the passenger test pipe... Also, someone tried to drift in the neighborhood in an eclipse and crashed into a tree.

Trans is fully bolted up, exhaust on, and removed my pass side valve cover to mod it. What fun
