LOL wait till Al sees how you used his car as reference in that sentence; he's going to slap you with his fancy hat. I'm not going to come to your rescue because you like the Patriots... :icon23:

LOL much appreciated man, I didn't realize the effect this thread had :icon17: It doesn't take much to make this current Z gen to stand out. Stillen Intake, CF here and there plus extra speakers are all that are missing and coming up ;)

Sick look Z man... I got some tints for my tail lights, just wondering how did you do the center brake light? The one under the spoiler.

birdmanx1 04-06-2012 08:28 AM

Thx Leeyeegue, good stuff with the tint, you'll like it. I had all the work done at a shop and was too busy running my mouth as always. However, I can tell you there were 2 people working on it, one would stretch, the other will apply the heat gun and at one point a 3rd will do the cutting. Looks perfect! I hope that helps somewhat my Hoosier friend. I used to go to IU Bloomington, back when it was the best partying school in the US ;)

:icon17: That was a great time dude, I love the video, REPPED FOR DAT. That a lot of fun at the Inner Harbor, Fells Point. I was pretty much expecting the cops to pull us especially after following us the way they did for a while. I'm still waiting on your build journal.

These are my ultimate favorite shots M.

LOL, look who's talking. I would have had everything done in one huge set already, thank goodness Rarwz was the voice of reason. This way, it feels like work in progress :p
up next should be:
** Powdercoated Intakes
** Tune
** Carbon Fiber goodies
** Extra A/V work then I should be done with the car :tup:

The Shado Effect. All you're missing is the hat :rofl2:

Sounds good, can't wait to see your car once it's done.

Up next for me is track/driver mods. Brake pads/fluid and oil cooler this summer; maybe a tune for my bday; and summer tires next spring.

birdmanx1 05-08-2012 09:15 PM

:icon17: all I'm missing is the hat. Thanks Shahid, your Z has come along nicely. I'm anxious to see the next things you add to it as well :tup:

Done with items on the list.

Got the Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi after reading the great reviews on it and after Masa sold me on it. The reviews were spot on about the quality and highly improved feel with those premium knobs. The knob is HEAVY compared to the stock one, sits lower, the shifting is flawless and pleasant.

I spoke to Tony@CarbonFiberElement, real outstanding vendor who does above and beyond excellent work and makes sure you are satisfied with the work. Tony worked on the following parts and I'm too satisfied.
** Radio/AC Console
** Shifter plate
** Cupholder
** Armrest
** Windows Switches Panels
** Interior A-pillars
** B-pillars
** Door links
** Steering wheels

For more pics of the work done, please check out this thread for LINK TO My CarbonFiberElement EXPERIENCE review :tup:
