Thanks, think the next thing the z will get is some paint on the hood to match the rest of the car. I would love to ditch the nismo wing for something else, I don't really like it much. Next might be headlights and diffuser on the rear as far as actually buying something goes. But for now I'm just waiting to bring it home.

That sucks, looks like the Nismo was made for that intercooler.

Looks like it's coming along really nice. I like what you did with the engine paint. Glad you traded out the blue Rotas. Those were an eye sore...

Yeah man it's a learning curve lol. I was just trying out different things.. Waiting on my estimate to come via email.. I have a few things that will be changed. I hate to ditch the v2 but I think what I'm getting will be better. Been wanting to change up the front just a little for a while.

Thanks, I picked these up from outcast garage for a great price. I have a few more things left to do with the exterior. I may be listing the v2 wing for sale shortly. I would like to join the salad bar club, just not right now. This is now far I got last night. Took a good bit of cutting to fit my intercooler. Gonna work on it some more after work and prolly drop it off at taywans for paint.

Also, does anyone have any good ideas for attaching the bumper at the top under the hood? Want to do a screw in fastener of some sort instead of the plastic clips.

Finished the install, lines up pretty good. Few finishing touches and paint and it will look good.

We can do some easier plastic clips to hold the front in above the radiator. Similar to oem, but it should be easier to take in/out. I may do the same thing w mine.get the pink tool box out of the pic lol
