Also, I want to note how much of a pain in the *** it was to get the cats off. Had it up on a lift, using 3000000 extensions and swivel bits, breaker bars and it still took a good hour and a half.

 

dang dude. i thought i had it rough when i hydroplaned and completely wrecked my front end on a fire hydrant. glad you made it through both accidents and bouncing back and working on your Z.

 

Did rear bumper tuck today.
Cars front end will be covered in gloss black vinyl in the coming weeks to make it look perfect.

Coilovers, Spacers, new seat covers and new tires soon.

~trtlespeedZ~: Thanks

 

Ordered the black vinyl today, wheel spacers, new lugs & lug nuts, black emblems and handles.

 

Pics once they're installed!

 

Pictures are massive, so I uploaded them to my Tumblr. Let me know what you think so far! (click to enlarge)

Looks great man! Not really sure how I feel about the red in the center of the wheel hub. But I love the eyelids!

 

The red is from the lug nuts I don't like them either, I've already ordered new black ones.

FTR: Blox lugnuts are ****, nobody EVER buy them.

 

glad ur ok, hope u get back in the game soon...

 

Wow if it wasn't for bad luck, but now the car looks awesome. Let's keep it in one piece for a bit

 

Update: car is going in this Wednesday to get 20% tint installed. Will post pictures then

 

Bought Nismo wing (in the pictured it's just primed) it goes into the shop for paint tomorrow and I get tint tomorrow so more pics soon.

great to hear your doing ok... but i can relate 2 you 100% im previous g35 owner i was put on the same situation u were my car was my pride and joy ... it had to much sentimental value so i kept my.... good luck on the search

Watch it My car!

 

Ordered nismo front bumper v2 with carnards, ordering coilovers, and catback exaust *test pipe back

 

Just repainted my door pieces (where switches are)

- I sanded them down with a low grit sandpaper, wiped them down with mineral spirits.

- Primed them with plastic filler primer, sanded then cleaned again

- Painted with Duplicolor high gloss engine paint (Yes I said engine paint on plastic, the reason for this is its self leveling ability, how the particles fuse with eachother to make one solid uniform layer)

- Wetsanded with 1000 grit then 2000 grit, wiped with mineral spirits

- Painted on with a sponge brush a mix of 40/60 mineral spirits to urethane clear coat

- wetsanded with 2000 grit, buffing compound and then wax.


It looks perfect, like something out of the factory if not better imo, its also very scratch resistant and hard as a rock.



I will post pictures of them installed tomorrow
