Jbakes727 04 progress thread
 

Just wanted to share my progress of the mods on my Z. It is a 2004 Enthusiast. Bought it with 78k and now it is at 86k. I've had my Z for about a year now and I think I have made some pretty good progress with it so far.

On 6/11/12 My Z looked like this when I bought it.

I'll keep you guys posted thanks for looking!

lol saw that one picture of the claybar going around facebook a couple days ago

Haha that's awsome, I posted it on instagram.

nice, you're taking really good care of the z. I like it.

Really nice and tasteful mods! I like it alot, Doing everything the right way!!
I recommend eventually getting 06+ headlights and tailights. Personally I think they change the look tremendously.
**But Id say to choose a different front bumper or just take off those canards. I feel they are tacky/ricey . but hey. your build not mine ;)

Keep us updated!!

anyone know what this guy is talking about?

Thanks Neeko94 and yes I learned right away to do it once and do it right.
lol your reading my mind. My future purchases are: hankook v12 tires, nismo v2 front bumper with black lip (no canards), vinyl roof and door handles, black emblems, stealth turn signal bulbs and 06 headlights and tails.

Hes talking about the front bumper on the last pic you posted of what your basing your build off of. Idk what hes calling canards? I've always called them splitters or a diffuser of some sort....but like he said to each his own....IMO I love that front bumper/and the lip combo and the splitters.....Keep up the good work!

well canards isnt a wrong name for it, lol.. i just found it funny that he didnt read, and realize that it isnt his car, just an idea of what he wants his to look like.

The proper term is canards. He's being sarcastic lol if you look at his profile pic he has them on his Z. I like them, they just aren't for me. The canards give it more of a performance look/track look and that's not exactly what I'm going for. To each their own.

*Off-topic* You posted it on Instagram alright. Someone posted it on 9gag and it was trending.

Come autox at TBD on the 15th!

Nice haha you got a link? I wanna see it.

Unfortunately I have work.

Nice ride. I live in Tampa myself and i have another 2 friends with 350's and one with a 300TT. Anyways i was wondering if you know of anything that goes on around town? Ex: meets, car shows any track days. I know about the autox but its on a Friday and we all work till 6 or so. I live right across the Gandy if you are ever out and about

Linea Corse buddies!! I as well have BC Coils....strange. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2e37fb93.jpg

***Prepare to be a little shocked on pricing for the viynl on the roof and tailights/turn signals ahah at least I was.

also what type of clay do/did you use?

And why is everyone on my ass for using canards? hahah damn you guys are hostile!
