INGS LX

The body man hasn't finshed with the car. The bonnet was open, and I just rested it closed to get a quick pic. He has to adjust the latch.

Yea I thought about smoking them, but I kinda like how it looks. I can always chnage that another time anyway. So I'll see.

What's bumper plugs? Is it the same as Bumper Burgers? What is a bumper burger?

No, Mr. Zipps did them for me.


Thanks for all the comments. I'm so happy I'm finally getting the car soon.

The one thing that's really buggin me. Is that the guy sprayed the vents in the bumper and the things that go horizontal that come in like a metallic bluish grey.

I couldn't beleive he did that, and even if I wanted to buy the strips back, the 'plastic black' section of the inside of the air dam is all sprayed, so it'll look awkward.

Anyway, it doesnt't look bad, but I think the strips in the original colour would have added some dimension to the front. The all black needs a break somewhere in there.

 

Ohhh. You're talkin about the nissan emblem aren't you? Jeeez. I'm there searching ll over the place for this bumpr burger saying "Damn, I thought I got everything!". Lol. I'm not too quick. Ha. I already bought a regular emblem. I'll change it out if i don't likek it though. I was even thinking on spraying it black.

What's the bumper plug that someone else mentioned then?

Are you sayin I should take off the plate holder nd put in plugs?

We have to have a front plate in Jamaica, so regretfully, that's not goin to be possible. Trust me, I was very pissed to have to drill the brand new bumper and put that **** in.

 

....

 

...

 

I guess you bought it in the US and shipped it home?

i was thinking about shipping my Z home and buying another one, but its too old to be shipped now

 

let's try this AGAIN.

 

My bad. Lol. I forgot to tell you I would tell you monday.

I don't know.
I'm pretty sure it's 20x10.5 in the back and 20x9.5 in front. As far as offsets, no idea. I'll tell you monday when I get to work and look at the invoice.

 

nice set up. the offsets are little too low in the front. not flush with fender.

 

very clean!

 

I'm not verse on rims. Are you saying the width is fine, but the lip could have come 'out' more towards the fender?

I know he stretched the tires a bit. I can see what you're talking about with being flush with the fender, but we'll see how it looks once the suspension is properly lowered.

 

Should look good when it's done!

 

Should I put on the cf Vielside bonnet (with the vents on either side)?

There's a guy here with an orange one he's had for years and would like to buy it. He already has on a VS spoiler.

What's your guys opinion.

Oh, and the Recaro Sportster seats look great in the car. It looks like a 'bat mobile', Lol. The only reason I haven't posted pics is my phone just died on me. Will post pics tonight.

 

This hood? if so, I vote yes, that would loook sick(as long as its painted black of course.)

 

Yes, that bonnet.



Painting it? Probably not at first. I'd have it on and if I love it, I would eventually paint most of it, but I'd leave a hint of cf somewhere. Maybe the inner sides of the two lines that go down the middle. Or the vents and fade similar to what Nitrouz did.

 

looks good, need a drop

 

Silver on black looks very nice, classic.

 

It's coming along great.

 

Thanks.

Need more opinions on the bonnet... I'm still kind of fuzzy on how it will look with the INGS fender vents. They don't really match at all. The only thing is, you can hardly see the fender vents since they're black mesh.

 

personally, I'd keep the stock hood -looks way cleaner painted vs a carbon hood (which is a bit, I don't know, overdone nowadays I think). Overall I think in this case, simplicity is best

 

So, what's your opinion on painting the VS (leaving just a small hint of the cf somewhere)?
