Once again, that's awesome StevSam!! You followed YOUR interpretation of what's right and didn't rely on consensus for your build! That's doing it RIGHT.

Now about that jackstand, can you go win another please? I'll be needing another pair for after my car comes off the rotisserie. Heh heh.....

Keep rockin' your own style!

Thank you Mic!! It really means a lot!!

Yes! Build your car the way you want her, not in the eyes of another.

Hello all, quick update.

Recently, I went through a good friend of mine to build a custom front splitter.
I was not too fond of the APR front splitter so went the custom route.
We ended up having winglets added to the front splitter. We are currently working on designing winglets for my side skirts as well.
Enjuku harness bar just arrived today and will be installing all this weekend.
Not sure if I'm going either the Bride or Status route 😅
Have a good weekend everyone!! 🙏

Thank you! My bud made it out of aluminum sheet metal, it seems to hold up well. Just going to make plenty of places where it will mount on to.

Hello my350z,

So another update. Finally got the enjuku harness bar in Sally. I must say that it does look wonderful. I did notice that the fitment is very tight, so plan on removing excess items you don't need such at the piece that extends the seat belts. Planning on putting my air setup onto this bar, but we shall see
I might even change the color after she is out of the shop lol



The Takata 4 point harnesses came in as well and put them in. Feel super safe with this combination and when I do get my seats will maybe convert to the 5 point. Really no complaints with these harnesses, super dope







^
#bae LOL

I was also able to test fit, drill, and paint my front splitter and winglets before my last two shows of this season. I fabricated some brackets to add some more support to the splitters and added some splitter rods as well. Went a flat black for the parts, but I'm planning on repainting them a gloss black because I feel it really doesn't flow with Sally. Overall satisfied with the fitment.










After a long weekend of prep and little sleep, I was super happy with the finished result. Showed at team Clymax at Porterville, CA and received second in Nissan. The following day showed at Import Face Off in Famoso, CA. Both were amazing event and was happy to see such a great turn out.
Have a wonderful day everyone

I believe you're referring to the lights that replace the stock reflectors. If so, they were spliced into the parking lights. No issues with them. Visually it was seen more toward the sides but they were great! No complaints.

Yeah those are what I was referring to, good to know, looks like they make a nice addition opposed to the reflectors. Was there any issues fitting them in or are they specifically made to replace those?

No issues with fitment. It was a direct bolt on. Just splice it to your parking light and you'll be good to go

Hello My350z,

It's been awhile since an update. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
So recently I have just had Sally resting during winter but I had found out Nissfest had a car show so I decided to show. Sally took 2nd in 350z class. There were lots of awesome builds, really did enjoy seeing the progression of the builds and finally meeting the owners to some sweet rides. Until next year.
