Oki all. I finally got the Z back from CarMedics in Chicago. Those guys are amazing. I can only say the kit that I used gave them quite a bit of trouble, but I will hold off saying anymore, because I do not wish to reflect ill upon the reseller. I'll elaborate more another day, but for now, here she is.








Oki, before you guys start in, I know I need some new rims and a drop. I have Bronze Rota Torques on the way right now, so as soon as those get there, they're going on.
Then, Tanabe GF210's with some Tokico's or Konis for a nice little drop.

Now, just gotta get my Gia Cuzzo spoiler, and Seibon hood to complete the look. (Oh, and maybe a TT to back up the aggressive look.)

By all means, hate it or love it.. tell me what ya think?

Whoops.. gotta at least acknowledge how awesome my wife was for driving all the way to Chicago to pick up the car and taking care of things while Im over here.

Notice my license plate cover. She thought to put that on there before taking the pics. Fawk she rocks. Its the little things that make all the difference.

No interfooler here.

I want to go turbo, but wife says if I do, I have to stay an extra month here. I just dont think I have the patience for it to be honest. Id rather come home. Believe me, I've thought about it too. But who knows how I'll feel in two months. =) (Every dollar I spend, is a another hour/day/month I gotta be here.)

This is definately a work in progress. Just a few "show" items until I have the money for the "go" stuff.

BTW.. your kit looks much better with it all black Gina.

Nice jobs! Car Medics FTW! (www.carmedautobody.com/). Did Eddie tell you about the custom widebody Z they will be doing soon?

Oooh.. No he didn't, he told my wife though that he had a few new cars coming in. Probably one of them.

Eddie is awesome. I can't say enough good things about them. This kit was rough, and he did a great job getting it on and lined up.

Definitely tint, and wheels next. Soon, Seibon hood. Nexx, I agree with you, it probably deserves a turbo. Maybe down the line. Just not before I leave Afghan. =/

Its blocked here at work, otherwise I might be. Im over in Iowa though, cedar rapids to be specific. Drove it out there at a few peoples recommendation, and Im glad I did. He quoted me less, but the fitment of the kit proved to be a disaster. He was fair about it and I was thankful for what I did pay. (My own fault for buying a replica kit.)

Eddie is a stand up guy and as you can see, does quality work. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him. This is definately a work in progress, but I'm very happy so far.

Nexx, looks like I'm going to be running 9.5" Rota Torques all the way around. With 275/40/18 Potenza RE050A PP's for tires. Gonna look very aggressive I think.

who made that kit? Which parts were the most difficult (sides/rear/front)?

DaytonaBlu350Z- Make sure you tell them you're from ChicagoZ and he'll take care of you.

Daytona, yes, mention that. Also, please drop my name saying I gave a glowing review.

-Brian C

Synth, all of it according to Eddie. I'll pm you the details. Like I said, the guy who sold it to me, is a vendor here, and he is really excellent. I dont want to speak ill of him, because he has and is continuing to make every effort to make the situation right. Considering that I've heard nothing but good things about the fitment of his kits, I also don't want to scare anyone from getting a kit from him. I think the circumstances just caused things to go wrong. Eddie made the most of what he had. I'll elaborate a bit further later.
