I will install my Borla True Dual exhaust on saturday! i am not happy with the battery/fluid cover trim panels, they will be repainted to match my wheels. painter decided to use a gunmetal color he had on hand instead of the graphite metallic(dodge color) i asked him to use. strut bar will be painted the same graphite metallic color. i am currently debating how to finish off my engine cover. i am thinking of having some air brush work done to it or some vinyl work.

future mods: i have some little things planned to do next, mainly cosmetic.

I dig the Z33 emblem. Sweet.

I don't like the new florida license plates.

Ricky May 12, 2004 06:29 PM

Careful with that exhaust. The tips are shorter than your bumper, so over time the bumper will melt/burn. You might want to get a shop to make some custom heat sheilds around it, or atleast look into it if the Borla doesn't fix it.

thanks for the heads up!

btw, do you guys think a CF hood would go well with my car. i'm talking about either an OEM or other style CF hood? my theme is PP white with carbon fiber/glossy dark gray but i am not sure if the CF hood would over do my theme or not! also thinking about a set of canards (specifically the ones on wing west's blown DB 350Z) and veilside graphics. but with the veilside graphics (in dark grey of course) i would have a vinyl shop continue the pattern through the area where the veilside decal would be. i also have thought of just painting the indentions on my OEM hood a color close to that of my wheels.

Looks good. Is it a body kit or individual mods?

Nice. A cf hood would look good to tie in with your wheels. Perhaps some Smoke Overlays as well;).

VEILSIDE ver. 1 (urethane) kit and DATA SYSTEMS SPOILER.

Blue Batmobile: how much do your overlays go for(just the tail lights)?

Very nicely done, like the mixed kits, they compliment one another. Wheels also very nice compliment to the car. Good Job!!

vice86 May 13, 2004 07:13 AM

looks hot man!!! I can't wait to get my DS wing...looks sweet!!!

vitaminZ May 13, 2004 05:59 PM

Tim'sZ: thanks for the compliment. i really like your Z, you are more of a master at mixing kits than i am! you have great taste!

vice86: you won't be dissapointed at all by the data systems wing. the quality is top notch and the fitment is out of this world! easy install, no holes necessary!!!

btw, i installed my borla td today. it was an easy straight forward install. fitment was really good too. it sounds really nice! just like others have said, the sound is a little different than stock. not loud at all!

2003z May 13, 2004 06:13 PM

nice car! Strange thing is, there is a Vitamin Z on 350zfrenzy who also has a white Z, one of the most rare colors!

vitaminZ May 13, 2004 06:23 PM

well, i came across his name in a search on yahoo or something a while back. that is why i changed my screen name to ZEALOUZ(my license plate) on all the other boards i am on. i was thinking that my name was unique and original, guess i was wrong!:icon14: is it possible to have a mod change my screen name on this board to ZEALOUZ also?

noticed that my left exhaust tip is making my paint bubble a bit. the other side is fine right now though. as a temp solution to this problem i went out and bought some extra high temp (up to 1200 degrees) muffler and tail pipe repair kit. i am going to cut a small rectangular or square piece and place it on the exhaust tip. the tips are very close to the VS (urethane) valence so i don't think the wrap will be seen so easliy. Do you or anybody else for that matter have any better ideas for a temp solution? please let me know. thanks in advance:)

If you get the CF hood, I think you should paint part of it. Just leave the center CF or something and paint the sides.. kinda like a CF racing stripe or something.... Looks cool, seen it done a few times.
