Hmmm..... Good question??
Im gonna double check im thinkin those are my dog's hair.....


......And no, He's never been in my Z. Must have.come.off my.clothing.

so lately I've been thinking and talking with friends and forum members....
I'm not that happy with what you can buy for body kits for our Z...
in the next 2 month I will be making custom molds of front, rear, sides, and yes even the rear quarter panel:icon14:
come spring im hoping to have a full custom body kit which will have the rear quarter panel incorporated in the kit, for the first time I think??? I've never seen a modded quarter before. (wide fender flares don't count)
once it begins, I will be working with a master mold maker and a carbon fiber master. I will post all updates, good or bad, keeps or fail.


enough is enough...
Its time for new kits for our beautiful 370z!!!:tiphat:

Good luck! Hope you get to drive her this year haha :tup:

Good luck with your venture. Sounds awesome :tup:

Let me know if I can be of any help.

:excited: :tup:

:tiphat: for going the extra mile!

^^^ in all fairness Mike.....
Unless i get installed results....
That extra mile may turn to 7 or 100 miles :driving:
Nevertheless. I feel good about that extra mile. My Z
May get destroyed making the molds.... Hopefully the gel coat with wax, and mold release cleaner works:ugh2:

And don't worry Zefualter..... I knew you would reply before Alcheng:roflpuke2:

I also figured it would be 100 miles, but I had to use the "saying"

Awesome!!!!

Is that the seibon ns front lip ? And what side skirts are those?

Yes the front lip is Seibon NS & the sides are SR style from shine auto

Bought stock front bumper and side skirts from MarcusZ as a donor for my project's molds:tup:
picking the parts up this weekend:driving:
+1 for MarcusZ! thank you :tiphat:

I TRULY DONT WANT TO USE MY 40TH PARTS LOL.

Picked up the stock front bumper & side skirts today:tup:
Time to get started.....:tiphat:

SWEEEEET! :excited: to see what's to come! :tiphat:

I've never done full bumpers before, so it will be exciting for me too:tup:

Are you starting with clay? This is pretty exciting!

Im not sure if im going with clay or hard foam...
Right now im staring at it coming up with animated concepts... By the weekend i should have the image i want and start the forming.
Fingers crossed:tup:

I will be placing vinyl wrap over the bumper, just in case the first one doesn't work out, or i don't like it. Easier to clean off & start over.

New garage art;)

SWEET! :tup:

I smell burnt plastic I mean progress! :tiphat:

:icon18: no burnt plastic. :roflpuke2:

did you guys use a dremel for the cut out? I did some cut outs on my old Z32 front bumper before I put the '99 Jspec front bumper on…….garage I was in stunk like burnt plastic for awhile :icon17::roflpuke2:

I am excited to see what is to come :tup: :excited:

laser cut. first time using it..... not 100% straight, but 99.9213%
I did post a pic of the bumper but then deleted it.....
I think final show is more appropriate:stirthepot:








It looks awesome so far;)

:woot: that's awesome! :tiphat:


mr cool guy with his "laser" :icon17:

is the laser like a plasma cutting laser used in metal shops?

:icon18::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:
u know Mike.... I truly couldn't even answer that:roflpuke2:
I don't know the diffence:roflpuke2::bowrofl:

no worries just curious I have operated a metal plasma cutter aka laser cutter both manual and automated they are cool :tup:

I like seeing that you are progressing with this project though :tiphat:

What they had was something that looked like an impact gun, got really hot, and had a point that cut. no actual laser beams shot out from across the room lol

any flame? or was it just a piece of metal that gets hot?


EDIT: I googled it, found the smaller lighter duty cutters :tup: looks cool :tiphat:

no flames. just a hot pointed tip. I mean really FN hot. It went red.

I thought for sure when they said laser, and I saw that tip get hot....
lasers were going to fly around the room and Alcheng was going to start shooting back from behind the wall:roflpuke2:

haha I wish! even the big automated ones I operated, pre-trade job, didn't have laser beams or anything super cool! it was just a small blue arc the cut it and most of the time there was lots of sparks with the thicker material! the thin stuff had minimum sparks and more arc could be seen.

Awesome! more photos please :D :tup:

I'll have more ready for pics in probably in a few days or possibly a few weeks:ugh2:

:tup: I like what you have shared with me :stirthepot:

Foam time
 

:excited: I like where this is going :tup:

So im thinking im gonna cheat a little on this custom project idea :rolleyes:
I may get a CF aftermarket front lip that I've had my eye on, and modify that to my liking;)

I'll still make the custom side skirts. Those are so much easier to do:tup:
The front lip is in the molding stage but boy oh boy is it ever complex making that

Let's see more photos :D
