Thanks. Rear add ons I will most likely order this week. Does anyone know where I can get those carbon fiber add on diffuser pieces for the spats?

Cool cool. Let me know as soon as possible cause I might buy Rear spats this week! :icon17:

Also, I was thinking to color match my headlight shrouds. Anyone here think matched shrouds would look good? :tiphat:

DatsunFTW 01-14-2014 05:12 PM

On a side note, I will also be changing my led halos to some good brand ones. I want to get red or white halos and red demon eyes. Anyone think they could help out and send me a link to where-ever you get yours? :)

Nice. I will see how much of my red I will have left from the headlights and paint my door handles if I do have enough

I got the XB's from rhetrofitsource. Then fabricated some tmart diffusers to cover them.

I'm in the process of some of this now. Actually, just waiting for my flasher lenses to come back from tinting and then I'll be putting them all back together. You can check it out in my build log or the DIY halo thread.

http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...-w-videos.html

Oh...and thanks for reminding me that I have a laundry list of links to put together for jlo370z of all the parts I used for this! :) :tiphat:

these are the halos I ended up using.
https://www.theretrofitsource.com/le...ngel-eyes.html

I used the 90mm for the main projector and a 60mm for the smaller one. If you don't plan on using diffusers you can use a 70mm for the flasher.

LMK if you have any q's! glad to help

Will do. Thank again for taking me over to NUR, I was there today and as soon as the car is out of paint they are replacing my clock with a combo AFR/boost gauge with built in safety that shuts the car down if it get out of set parameters.

Looks good man, love the color contrasts. Lots of CF so I like :)

I guess when the budget allows I'd get bigger brakes for sure, will improve the look not to mention performance!

Anyways nice work so far

Thanks GreatOne. After the front lip I was totally convinced to buy everything else in CF.

I already told a few people and I will say it here. I will do the minimal finishing touches for now to finish off the exterior look (most importantly rear spats) and then I am going to take a break from the modding. I took plenty of time to decide upon what I wanted to get and now it's all there. Need some time to plan the next big steps (exhaust, wheels, performance type stuff, etc.) for the future so that I will be 100% satistied like I am now. Who knows if my word will stay... once mod bugged, always mod bugged ;)

Yeah....

I made a list when I bought my car intending on getting there in a few years. Well.....a few months later I've ticked off just about everything on that list but wheels and coil overs! The bites....it bites HARD!!! g-luck keeping control. Wait.....on second thought JUST DO IT! :tiphat::stirthepot:

So I have been looking through sets of wheels I want to throw onto my Z, it could really use them. In march Lenso is releasing these EX20's and I might jump on them. They come in 20's but offset isn't determined yet.

What do you fellas think of these?

I think they would look great on the car.

Meulen 01-17-2014 06:23 PM

My spray can from automotive touch-up came in the mail yesterday. Since I had some time, I went right ahead into taking my bumper off and pulling apart the headlights. It got a lot easier to pull apart these 370z headlights for me. Also texted a friend of mine right away cause his lights needed a blackout. Anyways, here are some progress pics and results.

Thanks Huck I saw that thread but after totalling my 350z, my back wouldnt be able to handle a set of coils like that. From what I hear, swifts are a nice drop as well as comfortable so that my back wouldnt hurt on a long day. Here, this pic will explain it all.. :(

I wasn't happy with the swift drop. The ride was superb, but i notice little difference now with my BC coils. Just soften the dampening. I have them set at 15 clicks, so right in the middle.
