phelan's 370Z (W.I.P.)

phelan · 08-15-2009, 10:14 PM

Yep, really a work in progress. Took delivery of it 7/6/09. It's solid red, with full Touring/Sport packages. Yep, even got the navigation! (by the way, someone tell me if these pics are waaay too big, I'll resize them. I'm going to do so anyway for all future posts anyway..)

Current mods (as of 1/21/10):
-JDM badge
-Blackout front fangs and rear valence
-Partial smoked rear lamps
-ClearBra (courtesy of AeroTect)
-Illuminated Kick Plates (RED! courtesy of Cjanik. Thanks!)
-Exhaust from Tony @ FI (#008)
-Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs
-SPC rear adjustable camber arms
-Injen Cold Air Intake
-Volk 19x9.5 / 19x10.5 CE28N Genesis (using Hankook V12, 295/30 and 255/35)
-CF Hatch / "A-Pillar"
-NonStopTuning Pulley Kit
-Sun Auto Hyper Grounding Kit
-Password:JDM Shift Knob

"Near future" to do:
-Black out / mod headlights (I'm gonna try to do something different than the rest of you...)
-Powdercoated color matched tower strut brace
-Lighting & LED mods
-CF Hood / Roof Overlay / B Pillar (with partial paint)
-Amuse Body Kit

"Out there" to do:
-Coilovers
-Twin Turbo

Once I get the car to a nicer location I'll take more pictures.

Completely stock:

Interior w/ Navi (had to wait for this option!):

Some nighttime garage shots with a bad camera:

partial smokes, overlays or paint??

travisjb · 08-16-2009, 01:04 AM

looks great in red! nice work so far... keep it subtle !

Cjanik · 08-16-2009, 01:17 AM

looking good! I want to do the fang blackout and rear valance as well, it makes it look better IMO.

p.s. Get some pic's of the red kick plates I made on here!

looks awsome.....really love the red Z. After having my last car red though, sorta found that it fades a bit after 6 years so not going red this time around. Although in saying that back then i had no garage so it was outside :s

travisjb · 08-16-2009, 02:51 AM

btw, you might consider de-badging the rear

phelan · 08-16-2009, 04:14 AM

what, the nissan badge? i thought that was inset?

BanningZ · 08-16-2009, 05:26 AM

The fangs look great phelan! Very Nice!

Z'sZ · 08-16-2009, 06:45 AM

Shunya · 08-16-2009, 06:56 AM

yeah, you're right... just looked around the board and some folks found out that there is a ~1/4" inset and hole behind the nissan 'burger'... would require body work

I think having this flushed out at a body shop will be worth it.
it's a good opportunity to do so when you're doing other body work like kits.

Looking good!
