I'm very familiar with how the forums work, I'm a moderator on club4g.org a forum for the newest generation Eclipse.

Big into the stance scene, but I probably wont slam the **** of this build. FOR NOW, plans are something along the lines of Amuse kit, a mix of FI / Invida exhaust parts and some Top Secret parts here and there.


Now pics of the Z! :tiphat:

Wash and wax today. First wax since i got it 2 weeks ago... Wouldnt surprise me if it was its fitst wax ever -_-

Im a huge fan of ICE products. Used the wash for yeeears on the eclipse and its shine its incredible. So i used the ICE liquid wax today on the Z. Its not bad, it suggest only letting it dry for 1 minute so that cut out a lot of normal drying time from other waxes. Overall i was impressed.

I'm coming to steal the gold off the clipse! Congrats on the z and welcome to the family!

Very Nice!! Keep them looking good!!:tup::tup:

Congrats on the Z. Looking forward to see what you have planned for it!

just bought 6k HID bulbs from JWMotoring... first mod.

6k bulbs came in. Easy install for the most part. Only trouble I ran into is i dropped one of the grey twist caps down into the bumper behind the fender lining. :shakes head:

Thanks tiger, here is a picture of the products I use. I really recommend them! The wash has a built in wax almost, it leaves the surface soo smooth. Ive used it on the Eclipse for years, and il be honest... its been about 2 years since i waxed the eclipse and its smoother than the Z lol :rofl2:

the wash

and pretty much the lineup of ICE products I use. liquid wax in center and spray wax left of that

Nice List. Good Luck.

I see you plan on Berk Test Pipes. I have their CBE and plan on getting their HFC's this year. Really happy with the CBE. It sounds awesome under WOT, but without Rasp or Drone while DD. A Great CBE!! Check out the link below for more information.

Aam short tails bought. Being shipped out monday. Will do a vid of what the sound like after install.

AAM short tails installed. Heres a video I put together. HD version is almost done uploading. yes i know the exhaust is crooked, we are in the process of trying to fix this

I'd like to see the return of gold wheels.

^Agreed another set of BBS with gold hardware would be killer on the solid red

Spent the day at Jay_D's shop, Cars 2 Paint. Outstanding work! Anyone needing work in Arkansas I HIGLY recommend them!

- painted door handles black
- painted side markers Z / trim parts black
- smoked the reverse light portion of the tails.
- 15% tint
- buff and polish

next trip there will be for the headlights!

:worship: That looks so good. :roflpuke2:

Kaz,what's going on man,ITSA MITSA from club 4g. Ride is looking pretty sweet bro! I agree with blacking out your headlights. That will bring your car up a notch! I painted my headlights and they turned out pretty good,but had to buy another headlight because I used acetone on the inside of the lense. :shakes head:
Any plans for a new set of shoes? Surprised you haven't done that already. Or had a Spare pair kicking around! Lol.

Hey man, thanks! ya new shoes and lower coming soon. Been spending my funds elsewhere recently.

Glad to see another 4g member making the move to the Z :)

How am I not subbed!? :tup:

Love the build progress on another beautiful red 370z:tiphat:

:iagree: What he said!!!!

Big thanks to the guys at Cars 2 Paint in Little Rock for the awesome color match and install! Photos taken by me.
