Very nice :tup:

I agree with the post above that suggests wing ... tho i am guessing that is already on the drawing board.

For your design i think a Aeromotion adjustable split wing would look absolutely killer ... they re like 7 grand though :/

Great action shots. :tup:

I like the fenders =) reminds me of a Ben Sopra thing...

Wing is in works, new exhaust and cage/seats first tho.

Yes, this car has been inspired a lot by the Ben Sopra GTR. Unfortunately there isnt much options for the 370z, and even the few options we do have, its such a hassel to get parts. My dealings with carbon signal for example have been horrendous. And I had tried personally contacting many of the companies involved in the Bensopra GTR in order to try and have them custom make something for my Z, unfortunately with no response whatsoever.

So refusing to settle with that I decided to just design my own. And I am very happy with the outcome so far.

June 10th the car is being dropped off to get custom dual center exhaust fabbed, and the week after that it goes in to have seats and cage fabricated. After that I will be looking into getting the custom struts fabricated for my APR GT-300 wing I have sitting in the garage.

I am so jealous that you have talented people in your area that can/will do this kind of work for you, and in a timely fashion. Just awesome!

It's hard finding good shops but its nice when you make good connections.

I'm confused, are you in Illinois??

The body shop I went to is called A & L autobody in Palatine, IL. They get shipped cars from across the country. They are also the main body shop for bulletproof automotive as well as IND (the big BMW guys) which was actually originally run on site at A & L. Everything else I've done myself with my buddies in my garage. The cage I am having built by another shop and a friend is doing the custom exhaust. I'll name those companies at a later date once I can vouch for the quality of work.

Did you just paint the OEM tow hook?! :roflpuke2:
Anyway, looks good. I just cant imagine the street/highway debris that will ricochet towards the fender and door... :icon14:

Some more pics from last week at the Autobahn Country Club. Finally got decals on the car this past weekend. Hopefully can get some new pics this weekend when weather is nicer, last pic is a little teaser of decal lay out.

Have you noticed any added cooling of the brakes with the fenders?
