What do u mean by molded?? Are those not add ons??

They are all add ons, but the lip has been molded into the front bumper with body filler (I think that's how it is done I honestly don't know) so there are no lines between the bumper and the lip. The rear pieces have been glued on and they won't ever come off, so maybe molded isn't the right term, but I dont know what else to call it.

Moulded would be "add on" part that have been blended/grafted into the existing panel so no seam is visible. Like my front end.

Fair enough. The front is molded the rear is glued ;)

It looks kickass. Great deal for someone with a 40th.

Thanks man

Ic. That makes sense.
How does the molding hold up with rubbing on roads?
Has it cracked ever??

No cracks or anything, there are a few scrapes on the bottom from regular driving. The lip is on there for good.

I was thinkin of doing the same with mine, but worried it would crack if there is zero play in the lip.....

Shouldn't be a problem if installed properly.

Well I got rid of the TS brace bar cover and found an Amuse version. It should be delivered this week. I also dropped my car off yesterday to get a half cage installed, that should be finished in the next 7-10 days... Can't wait!!!

I wish I could get people to do things that fast around here.

Anyone close to Chicago? I'm considering making the drive up there the weekend of June 7 and 8th for the Offset Kings show.

yep, I'm in Romeoville off of I55 and Weber road

thoughts on going to the show?

Possible! let me check the homefront and see what's going on that weekend. I'll be back to you.

Work in progress... I'm dropping by tonight to give them the powdercoat so I'll post a few more pics then!!

Sweet :tup:

wiggins... you are simply a badas$.... :D thats gonna be sweet when its done... what color are you gonna paint the roll bar?

I'm getting it done in the same color as my calipers, burgandy grape. I'm hoping it won't me too much purple but the color is almost spot on to the purple in my Brides so I think it'll look really good together. I told the shop to replicate (as close as possible) the HPI roll bar (see below). I wanted to go with their cage but the price and wait would have killed me. This will be done in the next week. The Amuse brace bar is on it's way now as well, that should tie in nicely with the burnt titanium effect.

very nice :tup: i think that would flow perfectly dude

Received the Amuse brace bar in the mail today. Gotta say im really excited to see how this blends with the seats and cage.

Speaking of the cage, it went to powdercoat today and if I'm lucky, the car will be ready by the weekend!!! Fingers crossed.

Your car just keeps getting more badass!

Wow you've done some crazy work these past 6 month:tup:
When u think you'll have it complete???

Never. Haha.

Thats a great question. My project this summer is the interior. I'd like to think I'll be done with everything at that point, but I'm already working on getting a new look for the exterior and would love a set of project mu brakes and an amuse exhaust... Car problems....

WOW! that's sweet!

I checked on the car show. I have to work that weekend as of now. I'll be free in the afternoon but not sure I'll make it up to the show in time.

Let me know if you're able to make it. It would be nice to meet a fellow 40th owner.

This pic was just posted to Facebook. Cant wait for the final product.

I am so jealous. It's going to look incredible once its finished.

Sadly this may be my last new part for awhile, as I sold my house and need to save up for the next one (hopefully it includes a big garage for more toys), but with all the talk on the forum lately related to aftermarket steering wheels options (you know who you are) I started looking as well. I've thought about it in the past, but never wanted to make the jump as I didn't want to get rid of my steering wheel controls, etc. Well, now that I don't drive my car as a DD I decided to make a jump and bought the Vortex King steering wheel from T&E co., Ltd. Fortunately they were in the process of making a limited run version of the wheel in suede rather than smooth leather so I jumped on the opportunity and I think I'll be getting 1 of 20 made like this. The wheel should be here late June. Now I just need a hub and quick release.

Here's a pic of the leather version:

Wooooow man shes looking great glad arrived to you safely enjoy in great health

Thanks man, happy to see you on the forums and excited to see what you do with your Z and GTR.

Well she's back from powdercoat. Can't wait to see it all back together. Here's a sneak peak from the shop owner.

Holy crap you get stuff done fast. I would kill to have local services like you have.

Looking great! Think they can fab another one to ship to me? lol

If you're serious I can definitely ask.

Is it weld in or bolt in? I'm assuming weld in.

It's actually bolt in. I had to be able to remove panels, etc. so I went this route. They may have had to weld in footers though. I'll find out for sure.

Cool let me know.

The owner of the shop said he would let me know about making these and shipping them out. Would anyone else be interested? If I had to guess it will cost north of $1,000 USD for a raw (unpainted/ powdercoated) cage. They cut me a sponsorship deal since I'm local I also had mine powdercoated which cost me an additional $250 and went into my total cost.

For those who don't follow me on Facebook. Here are a few more shots of the cage. These show how the amuse bar complements the purple.
