Anytime Jim, you guys are +909093823989479472525 in my book for the Z community The fitment and finish of the hood and hatch from you guys was perfect. FYI to any hatch and lexan prospects, install the window prior to installing the hatch LOL, some of them nuts and bolts are a PITA to get to by the hinges...

Great job guys, the car looks great. I can't wait to see how this car progresses over the winter. What type of power are you putting down with the current setup?

Front diffuser won't be released for another month or so.

I would suggest the Asuka rear diffuser as it allows much more room for the Canisters and fits almost all exhausts.

There's Top Secret Front Diffuser available. It's best solution if you want to keep your stock bumper. Here's mine pic below. Or if you wanna go aftermarket, theres AMuse front bumper (FRP) w/ a bottom f. diffuser.
