Obstacle after obstacle kept popping up, but the end result will hopefully be worth it. My clutch slave cylinder failed on Tuesday, so that was another unexpected expense and headache. I'll update tomorrow with pics :)

She's a dirty girl. Dirty girl. Already working on tinting the tails and then I'll work on the dash lighting and then time for a wash. I'll be attending a small cars and coffee event at Ferrari of Tampa Bay tomorrow morning.

Ha, I think it's worse pulling up in my Taurus with blown front struts! We took my friend's black on black new 5.0 today, so we had a 40 mile drive home causing some neck snaps.

I've got a good feeling about this one...

Detailed the car finally last night and took it down to the beach for lunch today. Still have quite a lot of work left to do... This weekend, I attempted to install the BlueBatmobile overlays. I was successful in applying the tint on the rear quarter side markers and reverse lights, but failed miserably on the taillight, so I ripped it off and will buy another pair and have a tint shop install them...damned curved taillights! I changed out the gauge/climate control lighting for white LEDs, along with the dome/trunk/license plate lights...then realized I need one more for the footwell. I also changed the fogs with 30-LED bulbs to match the 6k HIDs I just finished installing. I installed the painted center console pieces along with the new MGW shifter/knob...what a HUGE difference in throws!

Ha, it was pretty big! I couldn't stop checking out the gauges to make sure oil pressure was safe. So far, so good!

The only person I have to have permission from... is my wallet. I was close to having the wife and kid, but that is long gone and now I'm enjoying the benefits of being single.

Thank you! It is very low...but that's the only way to go in my opinion:happydance: The 2 monstrous speed bumps in my neighborhood are awful, but other than that I just have to be careful and look out ahead.

I sold my Z a few months ago and still come back here to check out this thread. Long time lurker, first time posting.... Best build thread on a 370Z forum is a Viper. Ha!

Glad to see you finally got her back. I've been rooting for you!

Ha, awesome! I have to stick to my Nissan roots and keep up-to-date on the370z.com since I've met so many good people from this forum. Also, I'd like to think I bring a bit of my import modding experience into the current project.


I'll take some nice pictures with my camera once I get the tint on the tails and install the rear bumper emblems, but for now here is a few new pictures with the side emblems and Euroteck lip. All pictures posted so far are from my iPhone...I've gotten extremely lazy with my camera. I haven't done a photoshoot since my Z was still NA :icon14:

This is over-exposed, but the emblems match the calipers perfectly since OEM paint was used on both.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2r4iwqx.jpg



The fender emblems took ENTIRELY too long to install. :mad: Since the only option was to paint them with the plastic backing on the emblems to keep the emblems aligned, I literally had to carve around every letter/number. Since the paint adhered to the double sided tape, it was very difficult and time consuming to get a clean cut. I'd say it took me about 2 hrs per side just to install/cut them. It took another 2 hrs per side to remove the emblem and all the left over tape.

The street serpent kit is nasty! It's a different front and wider front/rear fenders, designed by the guy who built the Falcon F5/F7 supercar.

Here is the only picture I've taken with my SLR so far...from C&C last Saturday.

I haven't driven it since Sunday, but I'm taking it to breakfast tomorrow morning. I have about 200 miles on it so far. My fabrication guy is busy with a full drag build, but as soon as he's done he's taking my car in and we will install the headers/throttle body and fab an exhaust. Then tune time...I'm VERY antsy!

I went down to the beach last night to grab dinner with a few friends. When I came back to my car, I found a business card for Prime Photography. I messaged him when I saw the card and we setup a photoshoot for today since he's just in town for another day on vacation. In a rain filled day with a dirty *** car, this is what happens!

So you're the one with the car that was posted up on SSR. How's that Viper treating you? That's one sexy piece of machinery.
