can we swtich the front bumper

not tryna tell you what to do or say it's ugly

it just doesn't look 350zish from first glance....

still praising you for this awesome build....

Question are you guys keeping measurements for all these custom parts....I along with many others would shell out for some of these one up parts...

GODSPEED...

Thanks guys!
Kingbaby, speak your mind, I dont mind or get offended I like opinions. People have different tastes. I agree with you on the front bumper right now. i have seen it on the cusco car in person and it looks so so much better when car is painted and put together. They are not keeping measurements because they all change depending on which kit you have. They do have the only complete front end steering angle kit produced that I know of for the 350z and OMG is there tons of angle to it. Go check them out at kprace.com

Awesome build and progress.. Looking forward to seeing the completed project.

I've been thinking of getting a 350Z to turn into a dedicated track car.. not to the extent you're doing though!

No new pictures. The front end just got finished up and cleaned up a bit. The body panels finished getting Zeus clipped into place etc etc. I did however pick up my custom steering angle kit from them. Freaking awesome and gets you mad angle. I will post pics of them though!

Default steering kit!

So here is the steering kit. You get about 20 more degrees of steering angle with this. So pushed it upwards of 60 degrees!! All machined Aluminum.

Default Steering Kits

They do produce these now and anyone can buy them. If you are interested in getting them order them online at kprace.com or give Victor a call at 206-575-2161 and order some up lol. I think retail on them is 1500

Default Rear Strut Brace Removal

So since the cage is going in to reinforce the rear end, there was no need for the rear strut brace, so here is a picture to show how open up the car looks when its gone!
