thats one sweet looking Z...I always like checking this journal even though I've seen it 20 times. I like the roof overlay too. Very clean!

holey moley man honestly ups sucks one time when i was still a kid i tried ordering long headers for my chevy... they qouted me 1080 for shipping i was so crushed and never ordered the headers lol i ordered them 4 years later when i was 18 and went through usps snail mail aka parcel post.... i only paid like a hundred plus i forget but all i remember was i was so freaked out i wanted to hug the summit guy who placed my order :roflpuke2:

Comments really appreciated :tiphat:

BTW roof is painted not an overlay

No one except UPS freight is willing to ship the hood, so I will go through freight forwarders but just waiting for a friend to join something to save on shipping

Tein Super Street coilovers going on the car Sunday :), EDFC will be installed as well

Just updating my thread, though lotd of you might have seen it already

CarbonSignal Fenders and painted brake calipers yellow with black Akebono text, was thinking of doing red but last moment decision to go for yellow it looks a bit different.

Did you have your fender walls cut to make these functional?

fenders and calipers look great!

Thanks Toxik:tiphat:

No, they are in place as normal, I am planning to drive a long route today to see how much hot air comes out of these fenders, as I did see some openings in the engine bay but frankly havent pushed or driven the car that much, usually I wait to drive the car few days after any new paint job

Looks great man!

Didn't carbon signal say these would not extract hot air from the engine bay?

They think that, but then there is no harm in cross checking isint:icon17:, as usually I havent seen fenders getting hot like hood so most probably they are right there is no air going out but as now there are scoops so lets see

I am just assuming if you look at the pictures where fender is removed and CS painted the body black there are some big holes so there might be possibility that hot air will come out from there, and next week my TS hood will be on, it will be nice to review it again then as well.

Thats looks awesome!! Those fenders look great.

:leghump:

+1 - looks fantastic:tup:

:yum:

Paint is so shiny!

Videos have great lighting, great sound wonderbra!

Amazinggggggggggggggg

Functional or not, it looks great. :)

sick build dude.

Thanks guys for all the comments

Yeah really who cares :tup:

So are you coming over to dubai now:hello:

Thanks man just learning, videos are from iphone actually:icon18:

Moving on to next mods now:stirthepot:

Dude, I wish I could! It would be an honor to do a videoshoot for your car!

Thanks for the referral to your friend BTW. I bought the MINES spoiler from him and his Z is sick!!!

Its not to extract hot air from the engine bay...its to relieve a high pressure zone that forms around the wheel wells and under the car. That causes unwanted drag and lift at speed. That means that is is bad aerodynamically. This is why almost all closed-wheel sports cars and a lot of supercars have louvered fenders or big empty space behind them (i.e. the Carrera GT). If you have the fenderwell closed off, then the vents on your fender make NO difference aerodynamically. You need to relieve this high pressure zone by make air flow freely through the wheel area. This also helps cool down the brakes because there is more air flow going over the components.

Holly Molly!! Pure SEX!

Mashalla man!! so agressive !!

I think you took the pics in Dubai Mall parking!!

Now go to Reem Al bawadi Coffe Shop! in Zayed Road. Park the car out side and take a table in the out side part of the coffe shop........ then!!

SMOKE VICTORY SHEESHA WHILE YOU WATCHING WHAT YOU MADE! :bowrofl:

BTW there is a nice mosk near reem el bawadi (zayed road), did you ever thought o taking photos of the car with the mosk in the background??

Chill ma:icon17:n, I wasn't making any statement, but said will check if there is any use of these vents , and anymore use after installing the TS hood in cooling.


Naaa not dubai mall, scared of taking my car in malls, but its Time Square Mall as its close to CarbonSignal workshop so they took it there for a quick shoot, we have a desert storm thing going on for the past one week very dusty, else would have taken some outdoor shots.

Yeah Reem Al Bawadi not Zayed street one but one in Jumeriah rocks:tup: will try to take some pictures as seriously I just did one shoot after I installed my sunline kit, after that the pictures are not that great.

Damn dude as before that looks crazy good. Dubai is on my list of city's to visit so maybe i'll be seeing it in person someday!

is side skirt lower than shine kit? I already crakced driver's side...

Car looks AMAZING.... in for more pics

Seems same height to me, :confused: but i just raised the car a bit as installed coil overs yesterday

Man you crack your lip and skirts a lot:rofl2: time to get amuse now;)

Nice :tup:

Damn that's some hot pics...

thanks guys

what made you decide on yellow calipers?

Wow

Inspired by this

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/447...riaferrari.jpg

With our cars its too much red and then black, so darker colours were not a going option as man I thought about black, gunmetal, red then went for yellow considering stock calipers looks good as is

Everyone here said red but then I knew it might be a bit over on still car through when moving red looks better then yellow, as this yellow is slightly towards darker shade so a bit subtle for me

What you planning or not planning at all?

Now the ferrari owner should inspire by your Z :bowrofl:

Love the choice on the calipers! Definitely would have been too red if they were... red.

actually i was thinking of yellow haha. but i'm not a fan of having only one spot for a color, so i'm not sure. the ferrari works simply for the badging having yellow accents, so it ties in better than on our cars.

it's a while away for me to do (if i ever do it at all), so i've got time to think about it. won't be red though. i agree, it'd be overkill on the red.

Im glad I was of some help as when I was doing my car, yours was there to see everything :tup:

I think you forgot about the yellow amue sticker:icon17:, its looks very nice in person. Let me know if you need to see some options as I did photoshop of some other colours to have a feel
