Had an MSA Type 7 Side Skirts, Rear Bumper Skirt & Turismo Wing installed. Body shop did a good job with it and was impressed with the quality of the MSA products--no so much with the Suzuka '07 lip I was going to install, but didn't (body shop said the quality of the urethane and the fit would have been more in labor to make it look good than what I paid for it--so I sent it back). Also got the dent in the fender from a shopping cart fixed. The whole thing took two weeks. It was worth it, but I'll have to admit--two weeks without the Z was the longest two weeks in my life...

This morning, I threw the Fast Intentions Intimidator Cat Back Exhaust System that I had purchased through the My350Z.com Christmas sale from THC Motorsports, in the back of the Z, and took it to a local shop to have it installed. The left side installed without a problem. There was an issue with the alignment of one of the flanges on the right side; but with a little "coaxing," the right side went on without further incident. The entire installation took around an hour and a half, the price was very reasonable, and the Z sounds incredible!

I currently have a JP USA Co, Ltd. Type S 350Z ’07 Front Under Spoiler on order, which should be here by the end of February at the earliest, or sometime in March, from Japan. The rest of this year's 350Z budget will go towards a set of wheels and either an iPod interface or head unit. No big brake & rotor kit until next year or when the current brakes and rotors actually wear out and need replacing--whichever comes first.

I'm pretty happy with how the car turned out. I'm looking forward to more modding as time and money allows. Some thanks are in order, so:

Thanks to:

• Aaron and Abraham at Motorsport Auto (350ZSource.com)
• Eddie & Co. & TH Motorsports.com & Fast Intentions.com for the Intimdator exhaust system that definitely lives up to its name!
• Junior and all the folks at Future Autobody in West Orange, New Jersey
• Meineke Car Center in East Orange, New Jersey
• Other Z owners on this and other forums whom I learned a few things from

 

wow, that wing really needs to go.

 

EHHHH, I probably would have done wheels first....... But, it's your car. Oh BTW, hope you have a flame suit for putting that wing on.

 

Does it fly?

 

to each his own.

no flame from me. just sorrow

 

Forget the suspension and wheels and just tackle the body mods. Sounds good to me.

 

Noooooo, why the wing?

 

wheels first before body kit. the Z is lacking on the front end more than anything else and you mod the skirts and rear first? the kit isnt aggressive enough to pull of the sbc.

 

take that wing off

 

Why do you guys need to cry about the wing lol Its not your guys car no need to jump on the guy

Other then the wing, i like the car haha

 

yeah but that wing looks like it got a real bad angle, reduces traction instead of gaining

 

Haven't really decided on which wheels yet...trying to find some that I like and I can actually get my hands on.

All the usual insults and cheap-shots I'm sure I'll get about the wing (yeah, I really stay up nights worrying about that), doesn't matter. I like it. I built the car for me.

Let the flaming from the "gods" of My350.com who smite all those who do not share their views on what is acceptable on what an individual should do with their car, begin...

 

I'm still waiting for the front lip and will put it on when it gets here from Japan. Could be that's why it's not on the car...

 

 

WHOA that wing is hideous...the car looks like a shopping cart w/ that wing

 

lol at the shopping cart remark. u guys are crazy/

i see that you got your work done in east and west orange, are you from this area bcuz im from east orange.

 

That's not a Z, that looks like an airplane : )

 

salad anyone?
