Default 03 z project @ work

I work at the Collision Center @ Toyota of Dartmouth in N. Dartmouth MA. we also own a Nissan Dealership and are soon to be openning an accessorized car dealer with accessory shop inside as well..

so in gearing up for that we have been building up this 2003 350z for the owner. it will be a show-insh type car and a display piece for the shop...

couple quick details: Full respray including 2 tone, Eibach Suspension, magnaflow exhaust, AEM cold air intake, completely custom reupholstered leather and suede seats and shift ****/ boot, nismo floor mats and rear spoiler, VIS Racing Milano body kit (ft & rear bumpers and side skirt extensions and 18x9 and 18x8 Work VS 3 piece wheels

I know its not gonna suit everyones taste but for its intended purpose I think its pretty badass

I planned this one out, have been workin on it here and there and have been stayin late nights wetsanding and buffin the paint on this thing.. its a sheet of glass now...
couple pix from tonight













still needs some serious cleanin and needs to be reassembled but its well on its way now

stayed late last night and got the front end back together and tonight to get the doors and the rear end and back together and rear spoiler back on

handles are gettin body matched tomorrow and researchin spacers as we speak







no drywall screws were used on this BTW

IMO those Works in 19's with better offsets would have made this car 10x's better..

looks good otherwise =)

thanks!

the wheels do fit a bit better than the pix show but they are the only part of the car i am really not too happy with too
they were readily available and already mounted when we went to look for wheels and i always liked this style since i had first seen them

i am gonna try to space them out and i think they will " fit" better

we'll see
i am new to the whole Z thing so i have to search around for reliable info on which spacers are more reliable and such

I think you need to dump the wheels too. These are for an IS or g35 sedan,
not a Z. This would really pop with a set of time attacks or basically any
19x9.5/10.5 >+25mm os setup. DO THE WORK JUSTICE. Get rid of the wheels
now or fail.

its a VIS Racing milano kit
i was very impressed with the packaging and the quality and overall fit
we did block sand and prime the bumpers a couple times to get rid of the typical fiberglass chopyness

Not a fan of the color scheme personally but it looks like a really nice quality job.
