M.Bonanni's 370Z Project "Born Again"

M.Bonanni · 02-17-2010, 05:50 PM

Some quick photos after some prep for an upcoming car show this Sunday.

Finally put my EVO-R side blades back on the car after one got violently ripped off during an off-track excursion at Buttonwillow back in November. The one that came off the car is virtually un-damaged which is awesome seeing that it was also run over by my back tire after being ripped from the side skirt. I think the look of the side blades really helps with the wing and the overall look of the car, way more so than they did without the wing I think. Now I just need a front lip to finish the "time attack" look.

Also lowered the car about 1/2" all around and re-adjusted my alignment back to street specs so the wheels look more flush. Found some 6mm spacers in my garage from my 350Z so I threw those on the rear wheels too.

Also obviously removed all of the stickers. I think it looks soooooo much better without stickers, but unfortunately that is one of the drawbacks to having sponsors. I have an appointment with 702 Graphics tomorrow to get the car re-stickered, but this time it will be a much more minimalist look compared to my last few vinyl layouts.

The decals is the last thing that will happen to the car before Sunday's Hellaflush 3.5 / Berk Technology Charity Ride-A-Long event. My StopTech slotted front rotors and replacement OEM rear rotors are due to arrive Monday so those will go on next week. I also want to get around to installing the SPC Performance rear toe bolts I have had sitting in my garage forever. That will allow me to lower the car some more in the rear while still being able to keep within factory toe specs. I still have an NST pulley kit in my parts bin that I have yet to install as well. Not going to tackle that one myself though without a lift so thats still on hold.
