SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, found out why the eyelid was REAL snug on the passenger side hood, since my car was down for almost 3 months, i left it up on its hood prop which seems to have been enough to slightly warp/bend my hood and so the fit is SLIGHTLY off, couldn't tell until i put the eyelids on. Such great things to find!

Easy fix....a shop should be able to adjust by removing and slightly shift the hood itself...then again just live with it...

'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'

This happened to an 03 G35 my friend and I were working on but it was the swivel bracket the hood mounts to that ended up getting warped so we had to replace those brackets.

Interesting. Hmmmm, I'm still trying to decide on the graphics. When do you plan on having the wing installed? I definitely think the APR wing will set it off!

I'm just curious, do you know who the samurai on your car is? I'm asking because I remember back in the day on cartoon network there was this show called rurouni kenshin about a samurai with a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek.. Just wondering if it's a coincidence or not!

The main character is from ruroni kenshin.

The venaci 370z is what inspired the graphics and so I ended up contacting and working with the same company to design mine.

I've wanted to do something like this since owning my z but nothing really hit me, again its just an extension of my passion and imagination for my Z. She still has alot of parts waiting by but is slowly coming together.

As for the wing and MCR canards, they'll probably go on in spring, trying to find a reputably bodyshop...again...so patience is key right now. Then when I leave this island, she'll be treated to Gtm:s TT kit around 2013

A reputable body shop is KEY! Difficult to find....! Especially one willing togo out on a limb and do something a little different.

Not a huge fan of the graphics, but your upgrades are looking good!
