No problem. I just got back but they couldn't install my brakes yet because I am missing one "very small" clip that is need to hold one of the pads in place so I'll have to see if I can purchase that part . I was thinking of having them just install the fronts for now but I figured I'd save them the hassle of bleeding the brakes twice.

 

To GTNPU_Z: Your car is looking great! I am blessed I can see everyday!

 

looks great!

since i like this kit too i was just wondering how fitment was on that rear piece, and overall quality?

thanks

 

Thanks!

Fitment & quality is great. I'd say it needed very little modification done to it. I had to trim a small edge off the rear bumper around the trunk area but that was pretty much it.

 

thats great....i have always been a big fan of the vertex rear. i don't like to mix and match but i think my car would look great with the air walker front and vertex rear.

although my air walker bumper was a bit pricey, the fitment and quality were excellent with little to no prep work needed for paint. i just needed a little bit of clean up but the outer edges of the bumper fit perfect and i am very happy with it.

i know they sell the vertex pieces seperately...i believe the rear was around 650 or so...but that was a while back and i could only afford the bumper at the time. i plan to get that rear sometime in the future....i like the simplicity but sporty style of the kit

anyways, your car looks very clean with the whole kit....very nice lines

 

Thanks & good luck! You can try to call SpeedAlliance to get a price quote so you know what you'll be looking at. Not sure if the price dropped or remained the same since I bought mine. Pretty sure it's still the same. When you do get it, please post pics in the Vertex Gallery.

BTW...what sides will you be planning on going with?

 

i was thinking ings +1 n spec. i had everything scoped out but never got around to buying everything. its a mix and match but i think it would look good. i could go air walker or vertex sides so that it would match up better too. i need to get more info on the ings +1 quality and fitment if i go that way.

i have an sb enthusiast and the front looks really good with the stock aero kit. i also have plans to get 19" volk sf winnings or rh j8's for my wheels, but it will take time to save up some cash.

right now i've got dc ss headers (w/jet hot 2k black coated), crawford cats, fuji y pipe and ti exhaust, crawford plenum (w/crawford strut), k&n drop-in filter stock airbox with evo-r inlet...so i am real happy with performance. i am dropped down on hks ls+ coilovers too...about 1/2-3/4" with sbc camber arms.

its an ongoing project...i have done all the work except for body and paint

 

I'm getting this exact kit too!! YOur car is looking very nice and clean. I saw the Vertex kit for about $750 at www.streetconcepts.com so i'll try them and i'll post pics of the car as soon as production starts.

 

Okay, here's an update...

After what seemed like FOREVER to get that missing piece I needed for my BBK. I'm finally going to install it tomorrow. The forcast says it's going to be sunny tomorrow but it's raining now so we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping for sun since I'm dying to wash my car since it has gotten real filthy with all the rain we've been having. Haven't posted pictures in a while since my camera broke but I'm currently looking into getting a Digital SLR .

Also, as I mentioned on another thread, I got some damage from some debris that hit my front lip driving in this bad weather so I got this quarter size gouge right in the middle of my front lip . Anyways, I'm waiting on the first streak of sunny weather to try to get my car back in the shop for a repaint of my front bumper. Depending on time, I'm also looking into having them color-match the radiator brace, shave the hole where the rear wipers use to be, & maybe also shave the side emblems.

 

oh nooooooooooooo...i'm not the ONLY ONE in the bay area anymore. hehehehe

 

sucks that happened to ur lip. if that happened to me id sh!it a brick! BTW, i got some bbks commin now so u dont have to worry about me stealin urs off ur car at a meet. Get some pics tomrrow!!!1


-b-

 

wow that is a clean Z.....good job

 

Well, I got my car back & I must say it definitely looks 10x better with these BBK's vs. my dinky OEM brakes. Plus these things definitely grab! Real happy with them . Now I just got to wash my car & find someone with a camera so I can post more pics . Damn I need a new camera! .

BTW..saw a hawt looking CS with the Do-Luck kit & some nice volks at the shop today. That thing was freaking slammed! I've seen pics & heard it was low but it's a whole different story when you see it in person. Beautiful car!

 

Man i can't wait to see the new pics with the BBK's. i bet the pics wont even do it justice.

 

Finally took a few pics with my new camera (which I'm still learning how to use).

Front:


Rear:






***Edit: Used different software for resizing since the previous was effecting picture quality.***

 

nice pics man. the resolution is sick.

 

how much did the body kit cost?

 

sick...very clean...one of the nicest z's i have seen

 

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm still getting the hang of my camera so I know it could be better. Now that I have it though...let the pic whoring begin! LOL.

If I'm not mistaken, the full bumper kit (excluding spoiler) will run you around 1800 excluding tax/shipping. The kicker here is the actual wait for the kit since if it is not currently in stock, it will need to be shipped from Japan & that can take anywhere from 3-6 months.

 

Or if u search hard enough like I did you might get lucky and find someone selling a new kit they decided not to go with! LOL
