Joepro's Journal
 
Hello to all!

Joepro's Z:

2010 Base/Sport
Pearl White
Location: Western,Pa :shakes head:




Bought my 370z second week of Sept '12, upgrading from my 350z. My feeling on the 370z vs 350z, well, wow, totally different animal...the 350z was a rattle box, and a bit rough all around, the 370 is much more refined. I do almost all mods myself, I work at a Honda garage(although I am a recent MBA grad seeking other employment) I have access to lifts and tools.

Dude your Z is really coming along well, I remember when you were in the pricing forum just a few weeks ago looking for a Z. Now you got a Z and doing mods. Esepcially only a couple days in between each. Repped for doing work in a quick manner. :tup::driving:

Looking forward to pics of the lip. :tiphat:

14 deep well with swivel, couple extensions and a 1/2 impact = cake. In reality the drivers side top bolt was not even tight, went to crack it loose with the breaker bar and it just turned... zipped it off with the impact. Passenger side did have to be cracked loose, but all in all wasn't bad. Just need the right tools!

Lip is on, as are the sways, all i can say is wow, this is how the handling should have been from the factory, no doubt the bad reviews are on the handling would not exist...

wait...the guy who parked next to me told me you put your left side wheels on the white line...damn, never trust a guy who drives a subie!

RCZ 10-16-2012 04:22 PM

Please dont do black/white like everyone else....get polished dished wheels or something and dont try to color match everything. Specially not your headlights or something like that... why not leave emblems in chrome? they look good!!!

Looking good so far!

:icon18: never trust anyone who tells you how to drive your car, they usually have no experience other than paid driving school classes like AAA, where they teach you the basics of parking not even driving :bowrofl:

I dislike chrome on a fundamental level...I only do what I think looks good to me. I am not color matching the lip or side blades when I get them, I have seen it and dislike it, some contrast is good. Its killing me right now to know my takeda intakes are polished aluminum under the hood, they are getting coated promptly this winter.!

Joepro 10-16-2012 10:35 PM

At least my spot was not handicapped!

last week I about wanted to throw up, was on a 2 lane road and a car headed the opposite direction kicked something up, flew over and hit the car...this was the after math...almost a grand to have it fixed properly, ie painting the door and 1/4.
