This is how it started...:

Got my new 2012 370z Base Model Z (gunmetal) a couple of months ago...

First thing I bought for it was the Stillen Front Lip:

After that I heard about plasti dip so decided to change the look a bit...

Tail light edges and license plate area:

Got the AAM Ti Tip Short Tails for now (just to have some sound), since I will be buying the FI Non res in April:

As you can tell from the pictures - the front lip is not there anymore... it was stolen a couple of weeks ago -____-

Currently waiting on my coilovers... to be continued...

Damn that sucks some stole your lip, people are ruthless these days!

Looking good so far! Can't wait for pics with the coils installed.

Yeah it sucks...
I should have the coilovers this Friday and I'll install them myself on Saturday... I should have pictures by Sunday once I do the alignment etc...

:tup: looks good with the drop!

Thanks man!... only problem is it scrapes with EVERYTHING... and I haven't installed the front lip yet...:icon14:

Your car looks sharp. Love those wheels!

Thanks!!!:tup:

Raise the coils a bit.. I'd say .5-.75. That way you will scrape less and you can protect the $300-500 for the new lip. You aren't even as low as I have seen people go..

I think coil=scrape(everytime)... springs=scrape(often) ... stock=scrape(rare)

But thats the point isnt it? Be scrapinz wheeen wee riddinn out doe? haha

:icon18: you are completely right!!!... but coils is definitely, by far, the way to go... lol

Looks good, like what you did around the headlights with the plasti dip!

I went insanley low with my coils the first few days and realized quickly that while it looked sick it was jus not practical. So i raised it and still love the look. Nice work...keep it up! And who in the world steals a lip?! So stupid.

What spoiler is that? Looks good!!

What a transformation, looks great! Love the wheels and the stance it provides. Great work! :tup:

Thanks! :tup:

Thanks!... I'm going to raise the front a bit in order to install the lip...

The Spoiler I bought on ebay - its the same as the sport z but a LOT cheaper than buying at NISSAN... and the install was easy...

Thanks!!:tup:

It was stolen... had to buy another one...

Quick update - I sold my Base Model Z and got some good $$$ for it... ended up putting it as down payment on the new 2014 Nismo... here's a picture of it:

Did you keep your aftermarket stuff? Exhaust?

I ended up selling the car "as is"
