Appreciate it man...means alot and welcome...Thanks for reading through it...don't forget to share your time with the nismo. If you have any questions on anything no matter how crazy/silly/stupid it may seem it's probably been asked before! Search and research using google with the words "my350z" and whatever question you may have. The search engine here is hit or miss.

Well lately the car has been a movie night car with my wife haven't been doing the club thing lately due to my schedule and babies so when I'm free free I'm spending the time with the wife and mistress at the time time

Separated it to match the separation of the bumper, just in case I have to remove my bumper for whatever reason the flares don't have to come off.

Roddd, do u happen to know anyone familiar with the sr20det's? Got an issue with mine and gonna have it towed back to my home this weekend. Fuel pressure reads at 55 psi, starter cranks over, but for some reason i'm not getting spark at all. Can't figure her out. If u know anyone, lemme know, thanks!


Side note, these don't look half bad, might steal your idea to go with my seibon +10mm vented fenders....kinda need to go a little wider for tire issues....plus my bent fender is weak as heck now

I thought I texted you, sorry if I didn't...

Same ole shops man....munkywurks/just4kixs/Sonics

Don't get carbon fiber or FRP front fenders...it will just crack and crumble. The front fender doesn't need to be wider, just have a different arch...dift guys cut an arch into the fender to allow full lock...my attempt at that wasn't pretty....I brought another set of metal fenders to try again.

I know what you're saying....Its like riding a motorbike, your eyes are everywhere, not just looking at the end of the hood but as far up the road as you can see, making eye contact with other drivers just to be sure they've spotted you etc, etc. The great thing is being dry and travelling in comfort. Oh yeah you don't have to keep your eyes on the road for diesel spills. Z's looking real good.

KEEP IT UP! I haven't seen many Z33s with fender flares so get back out there, etc!

Took my wife out for a drive and some ice cream from cold stone...decided to take a few pictures in their loading dock. Somehow I managed to **** off the manager (female). She started yelling and threating that she had "cops around the corner"...? I relpied like the a$$hole that I am...took my damn pictures then lit the loading dock up with a piece from the 9th symphony...immature as it may have been, she's probably going to buy a nissan next lmao...

...on the way home I ran into the next generation...a stock G35 coupe driver with 3 passenger straddled me for a couple exits wanting to race...being the black Ricky Bobby that I am, I gave him a lost to the speed limit (55) obviously. What was even funnier was his friend in a boosted eclipse wanted some as well...he got it too
