I have always liked the look of the deep bumper cut and the most common occurrence is in pro Time Attack cars to raise the exhaust exit & utilize a large, functional diffuser.

That cut on the rear bumper came out perfect, so clean! How did you manage? Ive seen others, and non have managed to keep the line so clean. Nice job!

I daily the Z like this #becauseracecar, I'm sure you'll do much more when you retire yours as one though.

So I back tracked a couple of pages to try and find the answer to my question, but I am still unsure so I have to ask. I've been contemplating the removal of the rear wiper on my Z for a long time, but have not been convinced with the plug options available (mainly concerned about water leaks). Anyway, I was looking at some of the photos you've posted Peter, and I can't tell if you used a plug of got the hole filled in. If you don't mind sharing you're methods I'd be interested in knowing. Thanks!

For the spray nozzle in the actual rear window, I followed this thread: https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...e-removal.html and actually found a plug that was already black

I definitely agree that a relocation is warranted eventually, but it is definitely very far down on my list of priorities. I actually left a couple bolt holes intact and painted them satin black as potential mounting holes for some sort of shaped sheet metal plate to cover the canister up, but will probably end up moving it to the left and up where the stock muffler heat shield once resided

Unfortunately most of my updates have been maintenance/upkeep or DIY
- Earlier this year my CSC failed after a long drive out to the desert to work a music festival. Ended up buying/installing the Z1 CSC Elimination Kit along with their Street Performance Clutch:
- Then I cut my bumper and replaced my stock crash bar with a SF basic unit (pics in previous posts)
- Replaced radiator/hoses and AC condenser
- Bought/installed a used black Zspeed undershroud from a forum member
- Received/installed some 3mm wheel spacers from my friend Brian and brought my rear effective offset to +12
- One of my front knuckle ball joints was clunking/gone so I replaced both sides and also replaced the two bushings on each front lower control arm with ES poly:
- Both tranny and diff flushes/refills:
- Last but not least, bought/installed an super epic OEM rear trunk emblem:
My Z is still my only car that I enjoy daily driving, here's to 2017
