Looks like there are some Carbon Fiber things already on the car that I didn't see when I had it shipped. (don't mind the dirtiness, it's getting detailed tonight)



looks like the previous owner just put a Z emblem over a blank carbon fiber mold.

Finally got it all cleaned up and polished. I removed the front mesh grill that was on it (not very appealing in my book). I ordered the new brakes for it which will hopefully be here by the end of the week. Just got some standard brakes (saving to either get the Track Brembos or a BBK). Hopefully exhaust will be here in a few weeks as well as the CF intake and Plenum spacer.

Looks good, and BTW there is no way you have rust on the hood.

I actually have 2 spots, both on the front edge of the hood. One isn't even very noticeable but the other is decent size.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but our hoods are aluminum. So you shouldn't have 'rust' on there...

The car cleaned up real nice! Congrats OP.

Well, for whatever reason, there is some surface rust on the front of the hood on both the top, around then edge and the bottom. Like I said, it's only about the size of 2 quarters but it irritates me and will be cleaned up by the body shop.

Thanks. I hope to make it "mine" by a few custom things here and there, but I'm not one for "flashy" or over the top. I like base JDM and very clean lines, etc etc. I'm really hoping I'm not going to end up with too loud of an exhaust (Long tube headers/HKS true duals) but can't find anyone with that actual setup, so I will test dummy it. lol

I wasn't to keen on the color at first, but after seeing a few online, it has really grown on me and then finding out they only made them in 03, the hunt was on. lol
