whatuppppp

I've been on the forum as an FX lurker for a while, but my friend recently got a 350z and is not as forum-savvy as I, so i am making this thread for him.

it's an 05 5at daytona blue....





current "mods": painted hood, roof, and hatch black.
Stillen intake.
Unorthodox Racing Lightweight crank pulley.
Rays lugs

Otherwise, it is completely stock. Instead of going the route that a large number of young Z drivers go and buying a bunch of bolt-ons that do nothing, he taking the advice I am giving him from being a 3-year vq35DE owner and is purchasing a JWT twin turbo kit and is then going to get a stage 1 engine, all work will be done by Vinny Ten Racing -shooting for 600 safe rwhp with room for more
(Vinny is the man!) + GREDDDy TiC exhaust
also, I found a set of 370z wheels for him that will be painted black..paired with 20mm spcers they should sit nicely

in the meantime, we are working on doing some little mods here and there, like upgrading the 05 tails to 06-08 LEDs,a front lip, etc.

basically, this is what I had in mind:

upgrade to the nicer (IMO) 06-08 hood with the bump
STILLEN roof spoiler (black)
remove rear wiper (I say yay, he says nay because he uses it)
upgrade the tails to the newer LED style (clear JDM OEM preferred, because theyll be getting tinted black...the real way not VHT)
paint the headlight housings black
370z wheels painted black w/20mm spacers
MINE'S front lip (body color or black) and paint bottom bar of lower grille black if lip is black
Black pearl NISSAN emblems (either the dealership ones or we'll just paint them), remove 350z emblems
TINT reverse and turn signals in the back, reflectors in front (or just get clear and spray them)
SHorty antenna from agency power (black),
either coil-overs or just eibach springs.

I'm working on a photoshop (but I suck at them) so if anybody wants to give it a go, have fun!


the point of this thread: showing my friendnd's car and what he wants to do with it:
waht you can take from the thread: help me find the parts listed ( I found a few of them from vendors on the site) or do a photoshop if you are able so I can show him what I am talking about.




if your curious about my FX, my un-updated (as of now) thread is here: https://my350z.com/forum/photography...ml#post8229455
and look at my sig for my (unupdated) cardomain and my youtube page..... THANKS!

Edited for you:

thanks for the input!
The point is to introduce the car, say what my ideas for it and what he wants to do it are, and get input/help from other forum members.

 

I saw the thread before you posted the mod list and your planned ideas.

 

oh, haha

yeah I was trying to get the order of the pictures right then I added everything else

 

welcome

 

so yeah does anybody have any specific reccomendations of where to get certain items? I know that half the sites on google will rip you off.....
