UPDATES
ive pay 8k for the car, we start to see why
a LOT of paint :
Bolts from the body :
and a lot of the braket was in construction material
Here the fenders ive payed almost 300$ for
On the good side now :
VIS front bumper fit good for now, no major problem and i have receive my oem fender passenger side, so now we can start to do the design in these. (my hood should be here in 2 weeks for a complete front end look
)
we gonna eliminate the two little line on each side of the NISSAN emblem on the front bumper (because of the new hood. and the NISSAN emblem going to be in gloss black with the NISSAN in kandy red like the car (not bright as the pics)
starting on the hatch : delete wiper and find some problem with the dampers :
no update on the rear bumper :
and i just order these, i know what you all think about ebay lights but they gonna be full black, and i change it for led as soon as i order the headlights on Zledlights (the OEM on the car was glue in there and half broken)
Eyelids, same Kandy apple red
and i just receive my price for the NESSEN S7.1 and we talk about 6K +tx, shipping included, whit red chrome lip and gloss black fascia, (they cannot do the CF on the window
)they do 18 inch so in think i am gonna go with that for confort and performance. tell me what you think
But these gonna have to wait for maybe a year (same time as the brakes and suspenssion),
Sorry for the MEGA reply but my days are endless without my Z i have to talk about it
Need her ready NOW !!!

i also think to shave the bottom of the rear bumper like the blue australian Z, I would love to show the HKS exhaust but i dont think the cops here in Canada gonna like it.
if someone in Canada (Montreal, QC) have the HKS and can tell me if he add any problem with it ?
And on the design side i am open to any sugestions before we cut the bumper

Yikes a lot of potential bullseyes on that roof. Thats going to take some time to finesse that out nice and straight. I can't figure out why but that rear bumper calls out to me.

yep thats going to take some work, and we think, the right quarter panel going to be worst
and i think i know what you mean with the rear bumper... it is too much, thats what i was thinking and do not want to order it because of that, but after showing it to a lot of people, i decide to take the risk... and since, thats my favorite parts of the car. i cannot wait to see that *** in candy apple red

I would caution you NOT to buy those wheels
There has been a history of "Forged" wheel makers out of florida that have come and gone. They pop up, sell some cheap wheels at very high end prices and then dissappear.
They have beautiful websites and photography, and all sell the same lines of crap.

and others I have forgotten.

Rear Bumper Fitting :
i have a problem on the passenger side, because my quarter panel is in bad shape, but if you have a car in good shape, its almost perfect out of the box
.i will keep posting.
The hatch is almost done :
And the paint again

I love this color, I had an MR2 back in 03 this color. If I were ever to paint another car to this level its the same thing I'd do again. Nothing beats this classic.
Check out Vossen Wheels or CCW for some great looking 18s.
I actually like the headlights you purchased. They don't look terrible. That might be a great first set to modify and try to DIY for the price.
Are you going to pull the motor/ shave the bay etc to paint the car?
