The wait is killing me on the F14s. It seems like forever ago since I ordered them(actual time...three weeks lol).

I have been in the market quite some time for a Carbon Fiber hood. I decided on the AeroJacket SS hood with hood splitters. I was given a lead time of 3 weeks. Something else I can look forward to in the near future!

You're attacking this build like a storm. Sorry you that Seibon hood didn't work out, I cant wait to see the new AJ hood installed.

Thanks, zbrah! That's my whole goal with it, I'd love to enter HIN Seattle next summer. I was really digging the TS hood for awhile but after 4 unsuccessful attempts to pick up a used one, I went with the AJ hood.

I'm really excited to get my wheels and hood here. Let's just say that install day is going to be quite awesome.

Next on the "planned" to buy list lol:

GTmat for the trunk
Aerojacket Amuse replica in CF
Aerojacket or Flymotorsports CF fenders.

I know you probably have your heart set on GTMat, but look at my build journal. I used a product called Peel & Seal from Home Depot. It was 16.99 for a 25 ft roll. 2 rolls lasted all my trunk and door panels..

I don't know how the sound deadening compares, but they products look virtually the same..

Thanks for the tip, Nickturnon. I will certainly give that product a look over and see if its worthwhile. If so, it will probably save some cash!

Definitely. I priced out a couple different companies, secondskin, GTMat, Dynamat, Hushmat... All were $180-250 for just the material..

I ended up doing the hatch & doors for $35 and I now have the experience to do the rest of the car if I feel the need.

Again, I don't know how it compares to dynamat or top quality brand. But the 370z is loud to begin with, and when I added the Peel & Seal, I no longer heard small rocks hitting the rear fenders. The doors have a little more thud to them now..

Goodluck!

Received my final invoice on the ForgeStar wheels. PAID IN FULL and awaiting shipping! AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!

Just picked up a pair of these from ZCF covers to accent the new hood :tup:

Fancy. There is a set of cf rear spats f/s right now

If I weren't replacing the whole rear with an amuse Cf rep, I'd scoop them up. They are shine reps and at a fair price. Another non-shipper though lol.

XMAS done came a little early this year!!!

Yummy ^^

Snapped a few quick photos today since the weather is much nicer. Forgive the filthiness...it's been rainy in the PNW :/

Received the CF B Pillar covers from ZCFCOVERS today. Great looking product that certainly didn't disappoint me. Gonna heat them up and install tomorrow.

Love the color of the new wheels and the concavity rocks!

Keep up the good work :tup:

Thanks, Marti! I am in love with the wheels and get crazy compliments each day!

I had a little bit of time to install these today :)

Nice!!! everything looks great so far. I'll be following!

Thanks, zefaulter! Beautiful 40th you have there!

I'm loving the wheels! I keep telling my Wife I like the bronze or copper colors, bronze is easier to find. And the wheels on Vivid Racing's Viper.... Delicious.

You are right, SS. Same thing I told my girlfriend when I first saw this color. I was always a major fan of bronze and gold, but the burst bronze really swayed me after seeing them on Zlife's 40th.

So, I have decided to get moarrrr low. Got a pretty decent deal on some BC coils from a buddy. Gonna swap out the Swifts and and remove a little more wheel gap!

Decided to finally upgrade my sound system a bit. I miss having Bluetooth streaming from my IPhone and navigation.

Just purchased a Kenwood DNX7160 with back up camera, Metra Dash Kit, and steering wheel controls :)

After doing a little thinking and some research, I have decided to switch up the suspension on BlackHeart. A buddy of mine is parting his Nismo out and gave me a great deal on his BC Racing BR Series coilovers. Already have a buyer for my Swifts as well :tup:

Going to do the install on the 8th!

Hey, Great Job on the Z so far!
Love those Rims!
Look forward to seeing next Mods.:tiphat:

Thanks, Scotz. I am doing an updated photoshoot after my hood shows up from Fly1/AeroJacket. I'm looking forward to it bc IPhone pics are doing my Fairlady no justice.

Full Carbon Fiber Amuse Replica from AeroJacket USA has been ordered!!!!!

Nice! Congrats!

Also placed an order with Z1 for the JDM fog light and front hood struts :)

Little update:

Hood has still not arrived. I was told I should get it some time this week. I'll have to wait to install it over the weekend since I will be away for the week for work

BC coils will be done next weekend after I return.

Wow, that is not a little update... Photos?

I am currently in Oregon but the hood was delivered today. I am hoping to install it this weekend with the JDM fog light and Z1 hood struts.

I am then leaving on Tuesday to head back east for the holidays. Once both my buddy and I are back from leave we are doing a shoot. I also set an appointment today for Mid-January to have the long tube headers installed.

BlackHeart will then be on stand by until it's ready for the CF Amuse Rep install.

Oil changed today with Mobil One, rear JDM fog light, and BC BR Coils installed(holy low).

Hood got held in shipping and is being delivered tomorrow. I'll have some teaser pics up then!

I like the mod list so far man, let see some pics when you have the time!

Hahha why blame the iphone? An iphone can take a perfectly good photo.

It looks like you are using an original Iphone from 2006 with the 3MP camera..and a shaky hand.

I say user error ;) Hold the phone still and take some more photos!

damn that looks hot
