Default Pictures of my Z (SF Challenges, V2, CS, Blitz)

Hey guys,

Thought I'd post some pictures of my newly finished Z. The car was in a large hailstorm in August, so the whole car has been repainted, and kit was installed. The hood has been upgraded to an 07 hood as the old one was not worth repairing.

Exterior includes:

Volk SF Challenges (19'' Gunmetal)
V2 Front Rep (Poly)
V2 JDM Sides Rep
CS Rear Rep w/ CF Diffuser
Blitz Spoiler Rep w/ CF Lip
370Z Side markers
CF Plate Cover
Anodized black mesh for front and rear bumpers
Blacked out 06 Headlights w/ Ironman Halos
Tinted 20% all the way around

Black Pearl emblems will be installed shortly after the car is completely finished.

I am not sure if the hatch was completely shut in these pictures as there is a slight gap between the hatch and bumper, or if its due to the fitment of the bumper. Should be tweaked sometime in the next week after paint protection is complete.

And yes, I need suspension...

Plans for future:

Suspension
Exhaust
BBK

Enjoy! Feedback is welcomed!

Chargespeed w/ CF Diffuser Replica made by VIS.

I was going to fill the rear vents for a cleaner look, but they are starting to grow on me and they look great in person with the CF Diffuser, CF cover plate and the anodized mesh.

Thank you!

Yup, the paint is completely finished (currently being wrapped in Xpel). The photos of the car assembled look a little dull and deceiving (crappy Blackberry Storm 2 camera) and the earlier pictures are from a Samsung Galaxy S3, I believe. I will take better pictures once I get the car back in my possession, but the finish looks great in person!

Car looks great, what was the verdict on the rear bumper gap? Fitment or just open hatch? Look forward to some more pics of the finished product

that setup looks almost like my buddy's ex-Z





It looks really good in person, so your project will turn up nice for sure. Keep it up!

Thanks everyone! I am really happy the way it turned out.

No verdict yet. Unfortunately I won't find out until next week since it is at another shop for the Xpel wrap.

I am thinking it could be one of three things:

1) Hatch wasn't closed (it appears closed, but I have those high powered struts which takes some force to fully close)
2) Fitment of the bumper
3) Might be the alignment of the struts

I will let you know once I find out though.
