Very nice

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 :/

pffft way to be behind the times.. we already discussed this...

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!

We couldn't get the fenders from our partners where we and other people suffered and we closed the deal with them, and you were looking for the last set with them which is still with them and I remember I offered to get fenders and some other stuff done then I guess you backed off don't remember exactly. Not nice for just quoting it as horrendous.

Anyways car looking good

I have been also waiting for about 3 months to get a paypal invoice from ya guys for the hood inserts. Still havn't received anything.

See from any other company in the US here...if I want a part: I order it, and its shipped that day or next and is here by the end of the week and I dont have to send 20 emails back and forth for months.

It's nice that you guys offer REALLY cool parts for the Z. But it would be 100x nicer if you had better business morals, and better US partners. You guys could be SO much more successful.

Sorry about that, I will check but as per what I have seen request came in around mid/end April and invoice was sent in beginning May then there were issues that you were not getting it and request on alternative email, still it doesn't make it three months, will pm you.

Wont comment on business morals but coming to partners its not easy as it seems we had worst experience with autokitx for fenders, so will just stick with Shine and for delivery Concept Z Performance and Ravspec both Coz and Mark have been amazing to deal with and after this shipment which left majority of parts will be available with these people or shipped to them for all you guys here to save on shipping.

Wont derail the thread good luck with the built.

I have had nothing but good exhanges with Carbon Signal.. and it's super rough because I am a day ahead of everyone... so it makes communication a little difficult, but they always take good care of my needs!

get it girl!

we will have to do a few hot laps when I get home.. see who has the better driver mod

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.
