Keep it up, looks great. This has always been one of my favorite colors of the 370...even though i hate blue haha!

I wasn't sure of the color at first either but it has grown on me looks a lot better after getting rid of the silver In my opinion. And thank you, your Z is sick!

Nice love the pic by the train!

:yum: Coming along nicely

Best Z color yet!!! I am in love with the wheels!

They where worth the eight month wait lol

Just put the money down for a raptor front bumper!:D

Last photo is great! Nice choice on the raptor bumper too, in for pictures.

Sorry, it will be a while for the front bumper I backed out all they had left were carbon fiber I really wanted one but I did not seeing spending the extra for the carbon when I planned to paint the mouth matte black. Sad day :(

My Gtr map light lenses came in today,
The ones that come in the Z almost look tacky in comparison.

Installation was easy enough with the headlights off, about 5-10 minutes.

A few new parts and just got ahold of Alex at Oneighty my headlights should be done this Friday!

Plazma glow trunk lights

I figured since I had to take this out to remove my tail lights I would take a few pics.
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps31155c95.jpg
As you can see I had to router the housing to make the lights fit right but the results were worth the effort.

And one with the L.E.D bar out.
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3bf6ea0e.jpg

Finally fixed it :icon17:
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...psce972caa.jpg

My OCD has been driving me nut how I can see the wires for my L.E.D panel through the dome lights. So I decided to try and make them less visible I wrapped the wires in white electrical tape. What do you guys think?

Before
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...pseb046252.jpg
After
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps96704ef6.jpg
The L.E.Ds wrapped outside the car.
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps05ff38f2.jpg
One of those small things I think makes a difference.

A lot better. I would have gone crazy being able to see the red wiring.

L.E.D Reverse lights

There here, There here!!!!

Playing around with the interior

V-LED Licence plate lights

Just installed my L.E.D license plate lights :tup:
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...ps305ddefe.jpg

Last pic didn't show how bright these are here is a better example.
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...psd44d8834.jpg

Tony should be shipping my parts back today. Can't wait to install!!!! Pictures coming soon!

wish i could take my car apart like that, but i can barely put together a 20 piece puzzle lol, looks nice, good job :D

Sweet. I'm not usually a big "appearance mod" guy, but your Z is really looking great! I'm loving your lights.

Carbon fiber interior

My interior pieces will be here by the 10th =)
http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/...psfac9d2d2.png

Dont see many people do the dome light cover. Very nice!

I don't know why not, I personally think it looks good. But I'm not really for plastic pieces there will be a good amount of alcantara to come. I can't wait to see the quality that everyone has told me about Tony's work I can say he has amazing customer service I don't think it ever took him 5 minutes to reply to a text.
