vex008's Ibis White 350z Build

Well, originally wanted PPW but the closest color my region dealer for the Caribbean (I live in the Cayman Islands) had to the PPW was SilverStone in the 6MT Touring model, so that was the choice.

One of the only pictures I took of it while in stock form.

September 12, 2008 Friday Rush Hour Traffic
Leaving a plaza and crossing two lanes where both lanes stopped to let me out. Turning into the center turning lane, van overtaking down the turning lane tore off front bumper along with the left headlight, fender and hood slightly damaged.

Not sure how to embed videos. Hope link works.

Really like your car. Super clean. What're your future plans?

Nice roof cap :thumbup:

Future plans.
Cleanup / Finish off trunk.
Remove Z on rear trunk strut possibly add a sub in the center wood flooring; guessing I will tackle audio and new seats and other interior aspects at the same time as all of that is stock right now.
Redo the Aluminum strips (rattle can painted copper) want to get them properly coated and more durable finish. Remove all hardlines and hyperpolish and clear coat as well. Didnt have time to get done before show.
Here is how the trunk sits now

Have Asuka CF hatch to be installed.
Going to start engine / power mods shortly and just continuing my research on NA vs FI until I have the funds in place to pull the trigger on either.
I have always leaned towards the NA (despite the low hp and bang for your buck factors) but do consider spending so much money I know I would want significant gains.
Might be a new wheel&tire setup in the near future as well.

back in shop awaiting CF hatch install and full detail.
