I can't believe you drift with the kit on, is it difficult to go over steep driveways?

i destroyed an authentic kenstyle kit... this is cheap by comparison
and yeah this things a nightmare, but i've gotten useto it.
its not as bad as it seemed the first couple days, but narrow steep driveways don't happen for me now.
as long as they are wide enough for me to come out sideways its fine. only been to one parking lot I refused to go in.

Wow! You may be the only one on My350Z that's running this kit. Props and well done.

BTW, not everyone thinks they're a photographer here. With DSLR's, it's just more accessible to the world of photography other than point and shoots. You car would look even better if you had decent pics... even with a point and shoot.

Again, great car. Love the setup.

Hehehe glad you like it now. I had the front and rear bumpers fixed/repainted. I also had them put on a spray-on clearbra so it doesn't get chipped too much.

Duplicolor also makes a new sprayon protection product that comes in a spray can. It is supposed to be good for long trips to protect from tar and bugs.

Looks pretty cool

Have you tried it yourself P? If it works, that would be a good alternative to blue painter's tape for Vegas trips.

No I have not, my buddy Pete from Vertex just linked me to it a few days ago on AIM and we were both kinda amazed

I will try it eventually though!

Mel,

Here's the pics you wanted. I posted them here since it's going to be an issue for anyone with the vertex bumper

I have this plastic piece that's secured in place via the flat head screw with a nut + spring washer on the other side.



Next there are holes drilled onto the plastic for the screws that will be securing the plate to the "bracket"


last but not least, the plate is secured onto the bracket. I've added a washer to make sure that the plate stays in place.



I'm sure this makeshift bracket can be improved upon, but this gets the job done for me, and it hides itself pretty well

pic of the rig from abit further away!
