Wiggins3377's 40th Anniversary Z

Wiggins3377 · 05-28-2012, 03:37 PM

I've been a member of this forum for about 11 months now and a Z owner for about 8. I have to say the moment I picked my 40th up in Chattenoga, TN last September I was obbsessed. I kept the car stock for several months until i decided to sell my stock Rays last December, from then on the modification bug hit me hard. During the winter I purchased a set of 19" Work GS4s in the "Shadow Black" color scheme with a set of Hankook evo v12 to wrap them with (245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 out back), stillen gen 3 intakes, H&R springs, Ichiba rear camber kit (oops), shine auto rear spats, stillen side skirts, and a carbon signal spec me lip. I was also surprised a few weeks ago with a escort passport 9500ix and direct wire kit for my birthday. Currently I have my wheels mounted and installed (although they were scratched by the installer.... but they are paying to replace them), my springs and camber kit installed and my intake powdercoated (im calling it "shadow black") and installed. Up coming projects include painting and mounting the body pieces (including molding the lip to the bumper), removing my ichiba camber kit and upgrading to SPL and installling the direct wire kit for my radar. I'll keep everyone updated. Sorry in advance for the bad pics, trying to figure out my DSLR.

Sweet looking ride!! Love how the Z can be a reflection of personality and style!

Turned out darn nice!

It's been awhile since I updated my thread so I thought this was a good time. Unfortunately I haven't done much to the car since the last post, but I finally had a chance to drop off my rear Shine Auto rear spats, Stillen side skirts and CS Spec ME lip for paint. Hopefully everything will be painted and installed in the next few weeks. The guy I'm using gave me a great quote of $500 for everything painted plus molding the the front lip to the bumper. I've used the guy before and he does great work. I'll post pics once complete, but until then I've added some pics taken after I waxed the car and some pics of my old bike to display my guys paint chops!

Well I finally had the time last week to drop off my front bumper, Spec-ME front lip, Stillen side skirts and Shine Auto rear spats to get painted. I have to say my painter did a great job. I've posted some teaser pics below, the side and rear spats are done and I'm hoping to work on the install more today and tomorrow, as for the front bumper, everything should be done by the weekend. I'll post better pics once everything is done and installed. I have to thank forum member 2theextreme for inspiration on the front bumper.

Personall, I had no problems with the Ichiba kit, but there were a few bad reviews that came out on the forum after I purchased them. Do to that I decided to upgrade to SPL's kit.

TypeOne · 08-31-2012, 09:21 AM

40ths are niceeee!

future370zzz · 08-31-2012, 02:51 PM

Lovin the GS4's. Can't wait until mine arrive. The front bumper is going to be pretty low it looks like.

Can't wait to see the finished pics.

Hoping not too low. For the last couple of months the only thing a scraped on the ground was the sport front lip, luckily the new lip doesn't hang as low as that did. I'll test the waters for a bit, if it's looking bad I'll probably switch to swift springs.

Wiggins3377 · 09-01-2012, 06:59 PM

I picked up my front bumper today and had time to install it this afternoon. All in I'd say the lip, side skirts and rear spats work perfect together. Unfortunately it rained in Cincinnati today so the car isn't clean, but ill post some updated pics once I give it a clean. I also need to get a new front bumper emblem. I'm very happy with the results. Still looking for a Evo-R Rear Diffuser to paint satin black, so let me know if anyone has one for sale, also contemplating adding the Stillen rear window spoiler. After that I think I'm done customizing until next summer. Let me know what you all think.

Read the first 3 sentences and thought "Man, all he needs now is the evo-r diffuser" ....... then you say it's on your to do list.

Awesome looking Z, and a 40th at that, very nice! Everything flows nicely, looking forward to what's next, you have excellent taste.

Wiggins3377 · 09-05-2012, 01:16 PM

As promised here are a few shots I took today after cleaning the car. I've also added some engine shots, my painter did my Gen 3 intakes and engine cover in 40th Quartz the same time he did my bumper. The engine bay needs some cleaning, but you get the idea.
