Luciano, I already sold my hood to a buddy of mine locally.

The shipper fortunately filed a claim. hopefully it pans out, but I doubt it. I will probably end up raped nearly $500 for a reclear and a sand.

This weekend was hectic and fun, was able to get the following done:

-Z1 Rotors
-Z1 Stainless Brake lines
-Z1 Stainless clutch line
-Stoptech Street pads
-Flushed the brake and clutch master cylinder with Motul RBF 600
-New retrofitted headlights

I am hoping to knock the roof out this week and hopefully the hatch. Then have to swap the air tank for the new 5 gallon powder coated tank

I'm sorry to hear about the roof bro, good to see Fly1 went above and beyond to keep the customer happy. I will do business with them soon.

UPS is a piece of **** company in my eyes. I ordered a baby's crib not long ago and UPS delivered it while I was at work. The wiseguy left the 75lbs package sitting on the hood of my truck parked out in the driveway, it caused some scuff on my hood. Why someone think it's funny to leave a heavy *** box that size on someone's vehicle is beyond me :mad:

Yes, Lohit really hooked it up. The new roof is being delivered by a private company on the 14th. They delivered both my first hood and the amuse kit in flawless condition.

Tonight I was able to get the AMAZING Accuair A pillar from 3GS Customs installed. It's one bad *** piece and one of my favorite custom mods so far.

The T30 torx bit I have didn't work on the steering wheel. So I am going to try to source another tomorrow to finish the new cf steering wheel.

Seibon hood was finished today with a wetsand and Euro UV coat. Picking that up tomorrow. Has to cure for a week and then I can do a final wetsand and buff.

pictures will be coming. NissanFest fest is on the 26th. I'd rather do it justice with high quality pics. All I have is a Galaxy S5 lololol.

Received my new roof cover today and to much excitement it was not damaged! Big thanks to Fly1 for getting me a replacement so quickly!

Getting closer to NissanFest!

Body shop was a bit worried about sanding my hood so early. It worried me too, so I went with a contingency plan. I got another hood, lol. Problem being, I've fallen for in love with the new hood. Went with the VIS AMS Style CF hood.

Tackled the hood, fly1 roof, and removed the oem hatch.

Broke a damn oem hinge for the hatch. An expensive setback. Having a set overnighter and will hopefully receive them on Tuesday morning at the latest.

I'll update again soon, hopefully with a completed car!

Great progress none the less. Can't wait to see it in its final form!

Safelite won't touch the glass on my hatch and swap it into the new hatch....jackasses. There are two other companies on the Island that think they can do it. Neither are mobile and need to see both hatches...go figure.

on another more positive note, I picked up a Nexus 7 tablet this morning. Gonna do a quick install in the cubby area later today. I plan to use Velcro double sided tape. This will make for a larger monitoring screen for DashCommand. I have been wanting to do it for awhile now. In the future, I plan to make it a more permanent feature in the car.
