Actually I didnt get the hood fixed.. Im waiting for the roof to come in and hes gonna do the hood, roof and wing all at once.

His explanation for the fish eyes was this: Its more of the wet-sanding process that causes very tiny hairline almost invisible to the naked eye cracks. These cause the clear to seep through causing the fish eye effect.

His way around this is by using more clear coat than you would normally use lol... gobs of it from what he was saying. Not sure if he uses a special clear coat though. Hes a cool guy Manny you should give him a shout about your carbon fiber endeavors.

Getting the car tuned by Jeremy next Wednesday!! yay for NA. Also getting stainless steel brake lines and clutch line put on.

The utec gave me 248rwhp, that is with test pipes, kinetix plenum and exhaust. When I went fi, I was at 385hp at 9lbs and i switched to the fcon v pro and nothing else got re tuned at 9lbs and put down 409 rwhp. A gain of 24hp just by changing over to a standalone. All Jeremy's work. My car is up there now getting re-tuned due to a new exhaust. I am hoping for a gain of 10-15 hp because this one isnt choking my car like the other one was. I know I will lose some torque though. Oh well, there is enough as it is. I have my fingers crossed for 425 to the wheels.

I think I've talked to a few of you guys already, but wanted to get the scoop from some of you who've been to HIN. On July 19th, CiNcity Designs will be sponsoring a booth at HIN in Orlando with 2 of my customers cars and wanted to get a feel on what to expect. This will be my first show and I hope to do many more after this one. Also, I was planning to stay in town a couple extra days and maybe do some local work for anyone interested? Not sure if any of you would be interested in that idea or maybe think there is a better place to promote this idea. Like OZOC or something? I believe one of you posting here had PM'd me a while back about joining that site.

You can see examples of what we're about in the thread in my sig as well as my website listed below. If anyone has any ideas for me, feel free to PM me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HIN Orlando is a great show, long but still a great show the ozoc crew has participated in it for the last 3 or 4 years and last year there were an enormous amount of 350Z's there so you'll definitly get your product out there. Let us know when your down here and your more than welcomed to come hand out and chill with us.

Hey, thanks a TON Manny! We're all pretty excited about this and are rushing to get everything in order. I want to bring down a bunch of sets of custom lights to have lit up and going during the show as well as the two show cars we'll be using. The show is on the 19th, so i'll probably show up a couple days before and maybe hang out a few days later?? That's up in the air though.

Cool! Would be good to have a couple you can sell right off the bat if possible, you never know.
Well, let us know what goes down and if you have any questions about HIN

What I was thinking is that i'll have some for the show that I'll keep there during, but will sell before we leave so I don't have to pack them up and ship them back.

You said it was long, how long is the show?

Yea but your Fcon alone is worth more than all my bolt ons and the utec tuned together... Im hoping for around 260 to the wheels... Its definately possible from what Ive been reading around the forums.

I just kinda totaled it up... all together with utec and cost of the tune Im at about $2000; Dont get me wrong Im super jealous of your 425whp I just cant see myself spending that kind of money for something that my average speed of driving is about 8mph on 408 everyday lol.
