damn james.....your car has really progressed since we last met at that red robins meet.........(i'm the guy with the blue IS300)...........hope to see it again sometime.....

 

Wow. Very Clean Z , Good Taste on Everything

 

Thanks pyindeem!

JDMautoworks...Mike right? Yeah, I still remember you. Yup...keepin real busy since then. My car was pretty much stock last time you saw it. You going to RR/T.I. on the 18th? I'll be there for a short while at RR & then I'll have to take off to attend a family engagement. Hope to see you there!

 

damn....that's hella clean....nice setup

 

James - I am about to order the same mesh for my new bumper - can you tell me what you used to secure it to the bumper itself? I assume some sort of epoxy, but any suggestions?

thanks

car looks AMAZING btw

Adam

 

Thanks Everyone!

Adam, yes the bodyshop did use some sort of epoxy but I'm not sure what. I'll try to ask the shop on Monday what they used.

 

thanks man!

 

they use the fiberglass stuff to mold it together.

 

I'd prefer to not use fibeglass, espiecally on a urethane bumper

 

Yep, just confirmed. Since my bumper is made of fiberglass, they did use a fiberglass based "bondo" type adhesive to bond the grill onto the bumper.

 

gotcah - well, the grill eplace sells an epoxy on their site..going to ask them if it is ok to use with urethane

thanks James for your help!

 

I would like to express my jealousy once again.

Everything fits together perfectly.... From the kit to the pillars to the blitz. Nice choice btw on the blitz. I not a real fan of spoilers on the Z but that one keeps the clean lines.


Hopefully I'll get a chance to see her at RR/TI!

 

lookin good james! Love the blitz wing!

 

your Z looks great!...you just need a bbk to finish out the exterior and you're set....

is it a pain driving with the Vertex front?

 

Thanks!

I'm definitely looking into BBK's but my focus right now is building up engine. I have the Stoptech Stage 2 Kit right now which should give me some time to save up.

As far as the front, it's not too bad at all. My car is only dropped no more than an inch & it feels just like when I was driving with my Veilside V1 Lip. Obviously for any car with a kit, you'll have to drive carefully but I wouldn't consider it a pain. I don't struggle over most bumps & driveways.

 

James, your car is the bomb....
You've got to have one of the hottest looking, i.e. stylist cars on the road. Be ready come the 18th, because it will be the show and everybody will being taking a peep. i.e. including me....you make me jealous.
No joke, it's beautiful.
I also like what you did with the photo editing program...that's some sharp pics....

 

Thanks Warren!

Good think I'm taking my car to get fully detailed next week then. I'm getting my baby Zaino'd .

 

car looks amazing i really dont like the Z in that color but urs is an exception
