There are prices and tons of information about the products on our website (www.350tuner.com). Thanks for all the nice pics Skidazzle. Beautiful work, as usual.

On a difficulty level, lets say 1-10, how hard were the sway bars and is an alignment recommended after the install?

Default Simply amazing....

SKiDaZZLe.....

You deserve an award... you are the top tuner on this board and I, for one, tip my hat -- since you are doing this yourself.

You have the ability, time, and skill to tune yourself. I am envious and only wish I lived near you to watch the progress and learn.

I can't wait to get your feedback after you take your modded Z on the road.

Thanks !! I am really enjoying this.

Default Top Tuner Award

I must agree with Fairlady Z in saying that you deserve an award for being the Top Tuner on this site . I doubt that anyone even comes close on any other site also.
We all here enjoy watching your "HOBBY" progress as much as you enjoy doing it.
Thank You

the car is still on jack stands. i have not taken pics of the body kit on the car, cause its dirty

ask any questions... here are some pics to enjoy: [/B]


Did you paint the Nismo body parts yourself? I was wondering if it was difficult to get an exact color match. Your paint job looks great! I am only asking because I want to get the Nismo body kit, but am afraid that I won't be able to match the color (Crome Silver) and the car will look funny.

I know that question wasnt directed to me but.....

Matching silver is prolly the easiest color known to man. White would be #1 with silver as a close second. Black, Maroon, Dark Blue ect, are the real tuff colors.

Im sure any paint shop can take your paint code and mix up a batch to match well.

I know what you mean....I went by their yesterday and saw the work of art in progress.......I was kicking myself after leaving for even checking it all out. I should have gotten my illumination kits and bailed.

wadd i have to disagree, my buddy is the head painter at a chevy dealership nearby. he has told me a few times that silver is the hardest color to match because of differences in flake size and the way the paint "lays". he works in a downdraft booth with heaters on. he has a computer that'll match color for him (it does ok on like blues / blacks/ maroon type colors)

white he siad is another tuffy cuz the dust that accumulates in teh shop and around paint booths and such (NOT IN THEM ) makes the color hard to determine. says that the egg shell color is kinda tough to determine.

but i'm not the one doing it myself so what do i know

oh he said black is easy

I'd have to agree from all the work I've seen on paint colors. Silvers and grays are hard, so are pearl 3 stage paints. Non metallics are much easier, especially black.

Default Your car is the shiznit!!

I love the spoiler, I must have one. I need to pay some bills though.

AEM CAI V2, FI, ECU, man it never ends.

At least I know this car will last a long time so I don't feel I need to rush. I love your car though!

*Props*
