Plasti-dip'd front fangs and rear exhaust panel
 

Hey guys, i am new to this-

Just got my 09 Brilliant Silver Z for a grand total of 25,500

The first day i got it i was already thinking of changes. I originally wanted BLACK but in the Scottsdale heat i would melt.

I installed my Pioneer Avicf900bt into the car- Check it out


Unfortunately the stock speakers are pathetic and i need to get a new audio system in here but the NAV does help with clarity. Any suggestions on speakers?


My next move is purchasing an exhuast. I just ordered the AAM Short Tails!
The will be installed later this week.

Awaiting the arrival of the pipes i decided to plasti-dip a couple of panels.. I had never heard of this stuff until i looked on here. Its a little difficult to use but once you exact-o knife the edges, you're good.

Here are my pictures


Future Mods-
New Speakers
Air Intake
New Wheels-
(Why do the stock wheels spin out and traction control goes on after turning at 30+ mph.. Car takes turns like a babyass- Wheel recommendations?)
Alarm +Remote Start
Rear Spoiler


Thanks guys
If anyone is in PHOENIX AZ let me know!

Why do I not sense 25.5K for a base with no sports package not a super deal...

:iagree:

how is that not good... a base sticker price is about 30k , if that is after taxes. etc. I think that is a good deal....


And your mods so far are great.... I am no audiofile but I got Polk components db6501 or something close to that model number, lol, for just over 100 on ebay and it made a huge improvement to the highs... I than added a 6.5 bazooka bass tube that fits perfectly in the hatch cabin above your spare, and you lose zero trunk space! My system now sounds like an above average good stock system... I have not amplified my interior speakers yet but I will soon...

good luck the rest of the way!

Sticker on a base is more like 27k I think.


Curious to see how the plasti dip holds up on the valence. I'd think exhaust hear will cause problems.

How does the plasti-dip look on the fang blackout ? Does it make the fangs seem like they're painted or like something is stuck on top of them ?. I cannot see it from the photos.

Looks good.

B@t™

Hmmm, is it just me..or do the plasti dip paint jobs (in general) look a little mottled? The OP's look pretty good from what I can see, but the lighting isn't real good either. I'm trying to evaluate this stuff for myself, and don't want to waste my time if it does.

Depends on the mileage. I bought my 2009 Chicane Yellow with all major options except Nav system 3 months ago for $27k and it only had 9500 miles. That was a great deal.

Wat?

lol

I paid 29.5 for a brand new sport base, it had 9 miles on it. i bought it october of 09

Edit: I thought he was responding to a diff thread until i went back and read the OP's 1st post. The OP kinda made a combo thread, if you will.

The Plasti-dip is holding up really well-surprisingly.

I did three layers- Waited a few days- Did a couple more layers to even it all out and I was golden. It makes the front look the GTR or EVO..

As far as the price goes, I am happy with it. Payments are like $250 a month- Cant beat that for the amount of fun that I have in my Z.

I am having some stereo problems since I am slowly adding aftermarket parts.

what did you install that causes the stereo to have problems? :confused:
