A.J@CarbonSignal 02-10-2012 10:34 AM

Adam, that paint looks so mean. Good choice :tup:

PM on the way!

Unique_Z 02-10-2012 11:25 AM

Looking good! good job Adam!

Jordo! 02-10-2012 11:29 AM

I have to say, I really like it!

What color is that? Flat gunmetal? really dig the raptor bumper too. All comes together very nicely with the various black and CF accents -- great job :tup:

Ron 02-10-2012 11:47 AM

:eek2: That bumper looks sick!!!

Elysium 02-10-2012 11:59 AM

Looks good. I like matte finishes! Lol

kielbasa16 02-10-2012 12:30 PM

Really looks amazing, great choices on parts and colors.

Jjaden 02-10-2012 01:20 PM

Thanks guys, I appreciate all of the positive feedback.
I am looking forward to painting the hood, right now it's
the only thing that seems a little too flashy for me.

I really like how the fenders turned out, with the signal delete,
and the pics don't do justice to the CF accented Raptor (Fuji) front bumper.

I've got an appointment Monday to matte clear-bra the front bumper/fenders/hood.:tiphat:

370Z JT 02-10-2012 01:46 PM

Very sharp! Will look even better when you install the coils.

How do you like the FRP fenders? Fits like OEM?

EventHorizoN 02-10-2012 02:43 PM

very cool Z Car man! I like your attention to detail.

Mr&Mrs 02-10-2012 08:29 PM

Ive watched your posts and you done your research leading up to this and it shows. Im in love with that color! The car looks so mean, I was not a fan of the bumper at first but it looks pretty sweet with your additional mods.

I was doing docs color at the same time BTW =)
Good job keep it up!

GaleForce 02-10-2012 08:33 PM

Looking good!

Apoc370z 02-10-2012 08:39 PM

looks great Adam #2, are the CF on the bumper a special order or did the person in the body shop do it for you?

i was gonna look into the fenders but i heard Carbon Signal discontinued them

Yes the CF on the front bumper was a special order from Carbon Signal, it turned out fantastic! :tup:

If you order the fenders I would suggest spending the extra on the CF if they are available.

jetguy 02-10-2012 10:08 PM

Looks kind of like the lambo reventon

Hey thanks for the compliment. Your ride looks amazing! Your finish looks slightly different but has the same mean look, your ride is even more aggressive!!

I specifically chose a Porsche colour, so that I'd never encounter a Z with the same colour. Matte finish FTW! :happydance:

The colour is from a 2009 Porsche 911.

Not sure the paint code, I was able to get he colour code from my GF's car and have them do a matte version of it for my car.

Thanks, actually the only trouble with fitment of any of the parts was the fenders, if I did it over I would order them in CF for sure...

They stopped making the fenders last i heard. And yeah, i wasnt a huge CF fan but i really like how yours turn out :tup:

i am having some custom work done on mine and i will paint those section gloss black i think

CarbonSignal 02-11-2012 03:35 AM

Fenders are not discontinued, we stopped making them in the US but whoever interested we can make and send them to US.. We had a bad experience on time delivery with our partner and we decided to stop making it with them that's all :) .


I can't take my eyes off your car pics jjaden.. Lovely

The car is back in the shop having the hood painted to match the car, and having mesh cut outs added to the rear bumper holes.

I should have it back early next week and will snap some good quality pics asap.

On a side-note, I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a reasonably priced clear - bra installer.

I've E-mailed 3 different shops for quotes and I keep getting ridiculous crap like this...

2009 Nissan 370Z
Headlights - $60
Full Hood(Custom) - $495
Full Front Fenders(Custom) - $595
Front Bumper(Custom) - $485
A-Pillars - $60
Full Doors - $565
Rockers(Custom) - $295
Roof - $265
Full Rear Quarters - $535
Rear Bumper(Custom) - $495


Maybe it's just be but I find those prices absolute robbery....

Jamaica 02-15-2012 09:10 PM

you should ask for a package deal. Those prices arent to far off.

I remember reading a thread where a guy got front bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors done for ~$1200. I thought it was a place in Brampton, not sure on the location... It is an old, old thread...

Ugh it hurts to hear that, it's pretty hard to justify paying $3200 to clear-bra not even the entire car, when I got a full re-paint colour change, with front/rear bumper, hood, fenders, skirts installed for $3500.

Ahhh well, maybe i'll just do the front of the car for now.

Jamaica 02-15-2012 09:45 PM

i dont see a reason to clear bra the car unless you really have to. You might change later done the line.

Ni55anPat 02-15-2012 11:23 PM

Needs bigger tires bro

Mr&Mrs 02-21-2012 12:14 PM

The prices for the clear bra look good to me for a good installer. It would be a little cheaper if you did not have aftermarket parts because they could use a computer program to cut everything out and save money on materials.

Now with that being said I would just do the high impact areas entire front bumper, headlights, 24 inches up the hood, 24 inches of the front fenders, A pillars, mirrors, 8-12 inches above the windshield, and rocker panels (if you want).

Those are the areas I seen most effected by bugs on our car and had clear bra applied. So far so good, and on rare occasion I find spots up high on the hood but I just wipe it down with quick detail when I get home.

Also for reference all above items minus the rocker panels cost me 850.00 USD from one of the areas most reputable installers. Which included a lifetime warranty if/when it starts to discolor. I have always felt clear bra is one of the best investments someone can make for their car(s).

Jjaden 09-16-2012 09:33 AM

BUMP for pics of one unique and sexy azz Z!

Mr&Mrs 09-16-2012 11:53 AM

Headed to page 1 now. Im guessing you updated your first post.

Edit: No new pics! You tricked me!

Jjaden 09-26-2013 08:34 AM

Bump to an old thread, a pic of the car in my driveway, having to wash it every day until the new development is paved and sod is layed...:shakes head:

vividracing 09-26-2013 05:12 PM

You're making me a fan of that hood, nice build

Jjaden 06-03-2015 10:37 AM
