JMI... WHAT....



YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

NOTE: Lil Jon.. does not condone or support JMI automotive, in fact Lil Jon, does not even know anyone from JMI automotive. Lil Jon's presence in this thread is purely for entertainment purposes only.

 

 

Of course..

How could I have forgotten the most important picture..

 

+1 KarumaZ thats what I have my eye on as well.

 

As do I. The astronomical price tag + the cost of painting has kept me from going through with it though...

 

^^ Sell another set of wheels & get the Kuruma Z! Nobody needs 3 sets of wheels!

 

where did you get your karumaZ bumper from if you dont mind me asking?

 

Hey Aaron I'm gonna start going to the local drag/autoX events after winter time. You wanna roll up with me? I think it will be a good learning experience.

 

So as an update, the bumper is not going to be shipped until after the new year which sucks.

I bought a BRAND NEW pair of '06 headlights from ebay for $295 shipped!!!! now that just plain rocks and so once the headlights arrive I'll be switching back to my stock bumper so that I can at least drive my car around ...

Oh well, it's gonna be a much prettier new year.

"Brand new" recalled headlights

 

I figure if the recall was 20050617 - 20060908 then this should not be an issue ... and if it is, well then other drivers beware

 

Hit me up when you hear of anything, im down. Going to buy an Oil Cooler before the season starts. Got all my gt-spec braces on the way for christmas

 

Anyone know if JMI does black chroming? Bellevue Auto Rebuild said they don't do that (even painting something black chrome they won't do)

 

Just make sure you aim them correctly, see my DIY on g35driver

i duno JMI but i find it kinda shocking bellevue auto rebuild said that... i dont know if they are hand in hand with bel red auto but i have a few friends that have had things done there in the past... and theyre the ones that smoked my taillights... ill have to check back with a friend i dont remember the guys name that did all the work for them... i would almost say go check with car nutz... if they dont im sure they will know someone who can do that kinda stuff although dealing with them can get very pricey very fast

 

Update time ....

Guess what came in the mail (on a truck actually) ...





Now I just need to get around to taking it up to JMI to get it painted

 

are you painting the hood as well?

 

oOooOhhh... aAaAhhhhhh... that's gonna look hot on the G!!

 

Yes, the hood is gonna be painted Pearl White, however, the vents will have a gradation from carbon to white on each vent ...

 

Hopefully you'll get a chance to handle the CF hood at the same time as the oem hood. I'm interested to know how they compare in weight. The fiberglass Stillen hood was actually considerably heavier than the oem aluminum hood. since most CF hoods are just a CF layer on top of a fiberglass skeleton, I wonder if there will be any real weight savings?
