Damn you Brandon, looks awesome! Good job putting that POS to use, I miss it...

Was your buddy able to repair it nicely?

 

Thanks man. And yes it is repaired!

 

Looks great Brandon honestly glad you got over the CF top half look.

 

Nice!

That hood fits better than the OEM one I picked up off of CL...

+1, much better now.

 

Im loving that wheel and tire set up, nice ride man, keep up the good work.

 

thank you sir. i must say though, if all of my carbon pieces had been in 100% perfect shape, and fit at least 95% correctly, then i would have probably kept that look.

thank you!

 

That hood looks great painted. If I were keeping mine I think your recent pictures would convince me to paint it as well.

 

Looks good. To me, the hood looks a shade darker than the rest of your Z. I don't know if it's because it's carbon fiber or it's not an exact paint match or what. You can hardly tell though.

 

Appreciate it! Yeah silver is one of the hardest colors to match so not worried about it. Paint match is like 9/10.

 

^^^ x2. Even with proper blending at a professional shop.. Silver Alloy will never come out a perfect 10/10 (just as most colors won't).. I can only imagine trying to paint match a color like Interlagos Fire..

 

The painted hood looks great, as does your car!!

 

Wow looks nice man!

 

Appreciate it fellerz!

 

Looking dope. I'm sure you've posted it somewhere already but what are your wheel/tire specs?

edit: nevermind found them. Wheel/Tire setup looks perfect.

 

Thank you sir!

 

Are you running HTR Z 3's on there? How do you like em?

 

Sure am. I like them a lot actually. Over 10k miles and still 7/32nds tread left on them.

 

Better picture of the hood, and a picture from today at Rockingham dragway. Ran like 7 or 8 times. Best run was a 13.06 @ 106.5... got robbed of 12s again lol. It was again, another 90 degree hot humid day. I'm very confident it will run well in the 12s on a cooler day. Also not liking this act clutch as mentioned earlier. it is slipping and it has less than 10k on it. will more than likely switch to southbend 6 puck drag clutch setup. i believe that is what is hurting my trap speed. on the bright side, getting more consistent and the car had no problems at all, other than the clutch slipping and occasionally getting locked out of 2nd gear.

 

13.0 is nothing to be upset about especially when you only have 300hp to the wheels. I feel like that is pretty darn good man.

 

+1 here!
