I'm really not worried about anyone joyriding.
I know Tim's a good guy.

This thread is about my experiences with the shop and with my paint.

I know this is statement sounds paranoid, but it comes from a previous bodyshop (Walkley Nissan) taking 3 weeks and a BASF paint expert having to come in to match my Silverstone.

My SS is a little lighter than everyone elses, making factory code paint matching dubious. I've never had anything but problems taking my Z in anywhere. So, if I happen to have a good experience this time around, it would be nice to document it in detail for everyone.

 

i'll be in the area tmr...i'll be there to ninja.

 

i don't know how you're going to ninja when your bald head sticks out like a sore thumb

 

when i am in my ultimate absolute ninja zen-like form...my bald head changes color to matte black.

 

To the OP, that setup is going to look HOT

How much lower is the v2 front vs stock? Are you painting the grille portion black?

 

Grill inset will be black, and diffuser area on INGS rear will be black. Spoiler and sideskirts will be all silverstone.


How much lower? Hard to say as I haven't measured, but I'd estimate about 3 cm lower

 

i went by velocity and there was some weird sh*t going down with your z mike



there was a cow doing a pole dance on your hood, a hamster running out of your engine bay, a dog peeing on your bumper and a pixalated terrorist about to blow himself up and if i'm not mistaken, that's toretto behind the wheel

 

looks some someone messed yup your front plates too.

 

TORETTO and Pixelated terrorist at it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS did you notice how many bugs I killed??

 

^^ yeah, it's a new paint-style, "the bug splatter" pattern and they were all brown bugs too .. GROSS

 

..........

 

I forgot to add, as back story that I've never had a flawless experience with mods or with a shop. MY first V2 front arrived broken. My second V2 was stolen from the shipping terminal. This is now my third. Hopefully third time is the charm.

 

i've sent my ninjas to protect your car while its at velocity.

 

^^ your ninja's were useless. i kicked them in the ***** and they were all down in no time.

 

Day 6: I'm bored and miss driving my Z. No updates

 

^dont worry bro.. it will turn out great

 

i would swing by again, but i have a feeling your z is still just sitting outside in the lot.

 

Why me drop it off on the 20th then? They work on parts? Oh well.

 

everything looks normal this time, but your poor z is getting gang banged by 2 civics

 

Well it looks the same still? Not much looks to have happened in 6+ days as you had predicted. The car has moved in the lot as the back drop building has shifted slightly, as well as the cracks in the pavement being different in front of the bumper. The car is still coated in the same dirt and bugs. Hmmmmm, they must be working on the parts?

Thanks for checking in Rich, you da man.
