Default Just got my Z back from car toyz 2.

Here's some pictures of the car at Car Toyz 2









Hoping to install the hood tomorrow, just waiting for all my turbo stuff to come in.

As soon as I pulled out I popped the cars cherry, I dragged the front =( ohwell at least I got that out of the way fast.

on another note, as soon as I got up to speed my lower engine cover ended up flipping down and dragging, I bent it up to try and keep it off the ground but had no luck, I dragged it all the way to Function Tuned. despite stinking up FT's garage with the nasty burning smell of rubber, Dave was very helpful with removing the lower engine cover so I could make the trek back home.

Thanks Dave!

Very clean. The kit and wheels work well together.

I have a TS hood thats been sitting on my living room floor for like 1-2 months now. I for one really like how it looks and can't wait to see it on there. =)

Maybe I'll keep the stocker around just in case.

The front of the lower cover bolts into the stock front bumper, with this front bumper theres no place to bolt it so the very front of it just sticks out a bit, far enough for it to catch some wind and tuck under =( I might make a bracket off the I/C to bolt it to, or I might just leave it be and run the car without it.

Seems like they should have asked you, or atleast mentioned something about the undertray.

I was under the car and saw it before leaving, I didn't think it would do what it did, I could have easily taken it off before leaving.

Yeah its simple to remove. I clocked mine pretty hard one day because of some jackass riding his freaking bicycle wanting to jump out in front of me. Anyway. Next day I'm heading to work in the morning, once I hit 80 mph, it started flapping crazy, making terrible noises (that had me very paranoid). I crawled under and noticed I ripped it up, and wasn't attached on one corner. I pulled into my parking spot at work, layed down and took it off right there. Took me about 5 minutes haha

I agree that once the kit was on my once aggressive wheel stance seems a bit less aggressive =(

As far as taking the cover off myself, its very easy to do.... when you can get under the car. Keep in mind my car now sits around 3-4" off the ground? I'll have to check tomorrow just for chits and giggles to see just how low it is, put it this way, today when I got home I wiped off the car and noticed that when standing next to the car I can no longer put my foot under the side skirt.
