Just ordered mine before I checked out your thread! Damn your car looks good! Make sure you post lots of pics after it's painted. I'm still undecided if the vents should be left CF or not. Clean clean car as always.

Very good looking BMurray! Congrats on a beauty of a hood; how was the fitment of it? Also, did it require hood pins?

Thanks man. Fitment is pretty much spot on. I don't have hood pins on it at the moment.

I pretty much have to because of the damage on it :\ if it was in perfect condition I wouldn't paint it.

Little cracks here and there and some faded spots. If it were just fading I could probably have it restored by since they have to, I think, fill the cracks in there's no way the carbon fiber can stay in those spots. At least that's my understanding of it

Did you get your radio controls to work with your aftermarket radio? What about cruise control? what wheel and tire set up are you running again?

Yeah I'll probably just have it painted to be honest. But the a pillars and hatch will remain cf. I'll get more pics today

Radio controls not working. Cruise control will be working once I have time to go up to see my tuner. Already installed the brake and clutch switches. And 18x9.5/10.5 +15
255/40 275/40

I assume you rolled your fenders. What whp you getting right now? 306? 310? I love your Z. I wasn't a fan of you changing from the black accents on your body kit at first but now I love it. Looks great.

I have to know what you do for a living to be able to afford the amount of money you put into your Z. It always makes me feel like crap I can't dump the amount of money others can into their cars because I'm married and trying to save for a house and a baby while going back to school at the same time.

Lol. Well I'm not in school currently. Not married. No kids. And not saving for a house at the moment. My girlfriend will be done with cosmetology school in like 16 months and then it'll be house time. But honestly, I don't make crazy money lol, I swear probably 70-80% of my money comes from flipping parts.
