Just wanted to share some recent pics of my Z after it's been through some new modifications. Here's a list of the latest mods.
Nismo Style front bumper, some areas were filled and I made a custom mesh grille with removable plug for access to Tow Hook Threads.
Black accents on front bumper, hood and mirrors.
Shaved all body emblems and filled where needed.
Custom paint on StopTech BBK.
KW V3's, dropped about 1".
Rolled rear fender (Tires rubbed after drop).
Custom Paint on Maya DTM Wheels.
LSD Door Kit, (This has been on for a while, if you don't like it, I don't care.)
Well there's other stuff on there too, but listed what you can really see and what's new.

the doors and front bumper don't look even (look at the crash beam in the opening)
and one door looks at a different angle when raised... maybe cause of a surface difference on the ground?
don't like the rims... at all, but your bumper and coilover choice are excellent!

Thanks to everyone else that has posted compliments, glad you like. Sorry to those who don't like some of the stuff but hey, it's my car.
Most of the parts on there may all be for sale in the near future, if you're interested shoot me a pm.
Other parts not listed before are:
HKS Hi-Power True Dual Exhaust.
Random Tech Ceramic Cats (These did not have the issues that their Metalic Versions Suffered).
K&N Typhoon, polished.
Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer.
Chrome upper plenum.
B&M Short Shifter.
Eibach Sway Bars.
New never installed Eibach/SPC Toe Bolt and Camber Arm.
BBS RG Wheels 18" x 8.5" +23 & 18" x 9.5" +25 with Michelin PS2's 255/40/18 & 275/40/18. Mounted, Balanced and driven around the block so basically this package is Brand New.
Maya DTM's Chrome with custom Gloss Black Paint work. 19" X 9" & 19" x 10.5" with a fat 4" rear lip, I think offsets are +28 & +30. Conti SportContact 2's 255/35/19 & 295/30/19 Mounted and Balanced with about 3000 miles on these tires, low wear.
The KW’s and StopTech’s have probably less than 1000 miles on them. This has been a show car lately and taken very good care of. Not my daily Driver.

Did you guys & girls notice that the Z emblems on the front fenders have been shaved and filled. Also the pocket in V2 Bumper where the Nissan emblem should go has been filled along with the horizontal grooves down by the front lip portion and the little pocket where the Nismo emblem is supposed to go. The Grille was hand fabricated and fastened with a bunch of small screws and nuts, the holes for the screws were counter sunk so the screw heads sit flush and than they were glassed over to give it a smooth look. The Grille does a great job of keeping bugs and debris out of the radiator, wish I had an intercooler.
So, with that said, what do you think?
Ahh, I have to go to some meetings, wont be back to the computer till tomorrow A.M. so if you flame me you won't hear back till then.
Peace,
Gary
