I believe in making things practical, not just to make it. I could have cut a hole in a flat piece of carbon fibre and for the boost controller. That would have been way easier and faster but a waste of space. I like having my shades there. :tup:

The body kit was put on the back burner for a while while I get other projects finished for other people. I did notice when I had the front bumper off the car a slight bulge from the lip near the wheel wells that I didn't like. So I sanded the wheel arch down again. Hopefully I'll get some time next week to revisit it, then paint :happydance:

Thanks Mike :tiphat:

Yes sir. :tup:

It's too bad you can't see the flocking once the piece is installed. I'll try to post up a picture of the finished piece outside of the cubby. It looks great.

bro... you know what i love the best about your build thread... your all about the "attention to detail" just like me brotha.. and thats the best part :D good job man that cf boost controller holder is lovely

Thanks Simota! You do have a very clean install going. It hurts to see what you're going through with the stuff from Baker :shakes head:

Here's a picture of the finished mount. Nice fuzzy suede flocking on top acts as nice protection for my sun glasses and matches the rest of the cubby for the almost factory look.

:yum:

:iagree: :drool: you definitely know how to do things right :tup;

Thanks Mike. If I can't do it right I won't do it. :tup:

thanks man... ill be sure to do a write up as soon as i can for the wire tuck :tup: i know its something you wanna do also :D...

with baker... i just thought i would warn other people so they dont get hit like me.... :D i gotta watch out for my fellow brothers you know ;)

We appreciate it. :tup:

Finally got back to the rad cover. It was a project that was started a while ago and put on hold. Today I finished it. Just need to install it.

Wait a sec...did you wrap that yourself with real fiber? Oh man, I wantz!!

Yes sir, I'm a DIY kind of guy ;)

Oh damn! That looks sooooo sick! Huge thumbs up! :tup:

I would love to have one of those. But alas, u will likely purchase one from pwjdm. :shakes head:

Too many guys have had fittment issues with the PWJDM part, so be prepared for that. You might want to check out the guy on the forum that does carbon wrapping. I think it's Carbon Fibre Element.

Badass as usual!!

sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note

I just got done reading through all 33 pages of this build. 1 word - Perfection!

I love the build quality and attention to detail to every aspect of the car. Building the car to fit exactly how you want it and making things as close to OEM as possible is exactly how i've built my cars in the past. I love every part of everything man, keep up the good work!

Thank you ituan :tiphat:

Ditto, I would be down for two of them. If you need some extra $$ for your build, knocking off a couple for some cool Z buddies would fund your build and make someone very happy man.... haha Brantly.

great job bro!!!!

:iagree: very nice :yum:

That's a good idea. :tup:

looks aawwweeesooommee!

Got skills bud !!!:happydance: Very nice...

Dude that looks so sick!

Also, thanks for working with me on the pillar! I love it.

Installed these today,

And finally... starting the next project,

http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8de3ac66.jpg

:woot: :tup: to the test drive! How did it go did you go out today?


Also :yum: I have some ideas of what it could be for that next project! I want one to :tup:

1. I didn't go out today, soon...

2. The next project = too much $$ for people to actually be serious about.

So those lateral locks are for the rear sways. Do you have whiteline bars? My rear whiteline bar was pushed all the way to the side and bumped up against the differential. Maybe those things would help...

cool:tup::driving:


are you planning on cf front strut brace?

Yes I have Whitelines. They come with clip on lateral locks and mine stayed where they were supposed to while using them. These optional lateral locks are cheap insurance to make sure the bar doesn't move more than 3-4mm.

18k gold plated :happydance: :icon14:

Go for the acid/rusted look! :icon17:

http://www.youarejokingright.com/wp-...94-500x333.jpg

Not sure if serious about the bar.......also I will pay if its something tje Z cant live without!

:icon18: That look is only good for RatRods and old school restoration projects.

Not serious about the gold. I am beginning to work on the strut bar but it will probably be an "in between jobs" sort of project. I have a first test drive coming up, a trip to the exhaust shop coming up, and I need to get the body kit to the painter. I might graft part of the OEM side skirts to the Amuse skirts so I can get a "like factory" fit and finish. I haven't decided on that yet.

I'm trying to think of a logo or...sponsor logo that I can incorporate with the strut bar. I have a cool idea, I just need a good logo to make the idea a reality.

Sounds good! You have lots of work to the Z coming up soon to :tup:

I love and hate this thread. Love it because its all awesome, hate it because I want to be able to do it! Especially the body work you've done, thats where I am lost.

+1, but i dont hate this thread one bit. :tup:

i want to learn how to airbrush before i die. that's about the only new thing i want to try in life. :p

It comes from years of doing custom work on customer vehicles where I couldn't fail, yet I'm still hesitant about doing this stuff to my own vehicle. :icon14:

The hardest part is making the first cut, once you've done that you have no choice but to make it right, or spend money on a new part.

I have troubles getting ultra fine lines from my airbrush... I need more practice. You can pickup an airbrush kit fairly cheaply, then start painting lines, fades, etc... You can do it :tup:
