Thanks for the comments! And yeah, I loved the small CF accents coming together too...once the hood is on there, it'll be complete! Small CF patches where the vents are to link all the CF together...should be nice...

More pics of the back please, I honestly can't find anything I like on the back of this car. I love it stock just wish it was a bigger bumper. Either way your car looks great.

I wish! I took it in this morning. I ripped the rear emblems off yesterday, and found that there were holes underneath the center one. So they are filling those, repainting. And adding the mesh behind the front grill(which they forgot). And also the hood. Hopefully tomorrow!!! Keep posted!

well, the shop got it out the door for me today, but i have to take it back for detail work. It was good enough to snap some pics for the contest goin on, but not good enough to be done. Anyways, here are a few teaser pics...

CHANGES: Bats Overlays for tail lights and reverse lights, Front Mesh(unpainted), and hood installed(not fully buffed)

Again: VERY NICE!

The Z badge up front is a good touch, too. I'm a little surprised that you decided to shave the rear...Your choice. Still looks great, just my taste would have been to leave the 350Z badge.

All in all, excellently put together!


Are you planning anything further?

I shaved the rear because I definitely wanted that Z Hamburger gone. I'm not sure if I like it COMPLETELY bare...but, it was easier to remove it all and have it painted and then RE-ADD new emblems, than it would have been to remove the center emblem, repaint there, and then later remove the rest and need to repaint. I'm looking for something to toss back there, i'm just not sure what yet...

Further plans...do they ever end? haha...The car will undergo a Targa conversion. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I also want to go Turbo...but am still researching all of that. Then...I haven't even touched the brakes nor the interior...So, the car is still in it's infancy

Thanks! I wasn't sure on the mesh at first...when they put it in, i said go black, but once they had it there, at first I thought it kinda brought the wheels, door handles, Emblem all together keeping the silver. Now I'm kinda wavering back towards black again. We'll see what happens. It'll probably end up black...

hey, yeah, thanks! I was VERY pleased w/ how well they color matched. You might not believe it, but they didn't even do ANY fading on the car. They painted the new pieces, and installed them...the color was DEAD ON! Can't complain about that now can ya!? haha...they've been a great group to work with. They'll be getting my business for the targa conversion(once my wallet recovers from this install that is...)

i'm not actually sure where they got it...they had a helluva time finding it too they said. It was expensive...i know that...like 30 bucks or something. If you look on the thread from Punksterz regarding his nismo v2 front bumper group buy, you will find links to an online site that sells all kinds of mesh tho...

Thanks for the comments!
