New skin

bushyguy · 02-09-2019, 03:00 PM

Received my Z back from a local body shop about a week ago and felt like showing her off a little bit.

Details:

I kept the Monterey Blue and had the door handles painted to match, I really enjoy the color and felt no reason to change it.

Shop owner did add a little bit more pearl to the mixture than what's called for and oh boy does it pop in direct sun light. Doesn't show as well in these photos due to the overcast we had when I took these.

Had some gloss black (no pearl or metallic) added to subtly accent the car as well as compliment the wheels.

The kit is Fujimura Rocket dancer and consists of:
o Hood
o Front fascia
o Side blade attachments
o Deck spoiler

Wheels:
o WedsSport RN05M
o 19x9.5 F + 28
o 19x10.5 R +22
o Zero clearance/fitment issues

I did keep the OEM rear bumper, I find it a perfect for the car and it retains those hips I can't help but stare at.

Looks good. As far as the rear bumper goes, just add a rear diffuser to balance it out and you are done. Like what you have done with the car.

The potential is there, the bottom extends a little further and sits flush with the undershroud.

Not a problem if you build the muscle memory for passing over gutters at an angle.

Are the side blades just screw ons?

Need more pictures of it if you dont mind

Yep, screw on from the bottom. Not the best pics ever but it is what I have.

You can also rivet them on if you’re paranoid about vibrations causing hardware to fall off.

I’m currently on business travel so I won’t be able to get some underside images posted for a about another week, if still requested.
