Hey Jon, you mod junky:stirthepot:

I'm still keeping track of your build and I still like it, keep up the good work bud! :tup:

no no no force induction.... my car will never run right.... no dyno here :( plus i cant afford it lol


:tup: thanks man.... :D hope i finish my build by early next year to close the book on her :tup:

Yeah, right... :p by that time you'll be installing some type of forced induction :rolleyes:

DUDE!!!!

after my wife leaves, I have 3 weeks to comeplete a custom one off hood with you! lets do it!! lets make you a killer hood!!



and then I can start on my fenders... MUAHAHAHA :happydance:

haha :icon17: well see....


when is that man? i hope im not crazy busy... im considering installing the fenders myself.... got qouted 2,400 to blend everything :shakes head: i asked how much to change color 2,700 LMAO i might as well change color... idk man lmao well see steering wheel going on tomoro though... :tup:

nice man! well, if you feel like grabbing some dinner with myself and the wife, just hit me up

wow your wife is here already? DOOD time flies huh it was like just yesterday when you told me she was flyin in :tup:

so it has come to that moment again lol when i need everyones insight and what they think is the better thing to do.... i went to a body shop here... different one from the one that installed my kit... NOW.... i asked him how much to install my fenders and to fix the discoloration on the bumpers, side skirts, mirrors, and handles.... they are all different shades of red... darker/lighter.... you guys get the picture.... so since the first body shop didnt blend it :shakes head: cant complain he charged me dirt cheap and you get what you pay for.... its finally gotten to that point that it bugs the living hell outa me.... the new body guy goes,...im gonna have to pretty much touch every panel to even out the shade... except the pillars and roof :( which makes sense so he gave me two choices.... 2,400 even out the shade same color.... 2,750 change color.... with that being said... i never planned on changing the color of my z... i love red and shell always be red.... especially now that i made almost everything on my interior red :roflpuke2:.... since both quotes are so damn close im thinking of changing my color to a more dark vibrant red... like with metallic in it what do you guys think? or should i just bite the bullet and stick to the same color SR a54

For how close in cost they are i'd go for a new hot red. Look how f-ing hot Doc's Z was in that ferrari red and calvin's dark blue Z. Different colors other than stock always jump out in a good way. Have MU Pshop your car in some different reds for you he's good.

A different red would be nice.

That price sounds really cheap for a color change. If he is also going to do the door hood fender and hatch jambs then I would look at colors. If he is t I would keep the stock one. Nothing worst than seeing a nice car then guy opens the doors and it's. It the same>< good luck!

whose MU? you think tim can do it? isamu tim?

:tup: metallic red.....

its that price i guess cuz im gonna be the one stripping the car LOL... :facepalm: and im providing him the paint and clear.... his only doing labor.... and yes the door jams are gonna get hit up....hatch jambs... and also under the hood :tup:

only thing he wont touch and engine bay... thats why im thinking it HAS to be another red.....

yea, mu=isamu= Tim... lolololol

I can photoshop you some varies reds...

or.. you could do something that contrasts red.. so you have a sweet outside and red inside.. you know, make it flow

that was the FIRST thing i wanted.... was gonna do 40th color.... or a gunmetal color BUT my bay would be red cuz he cant paint the bay unless he pulls the motor and his not crazy enough to do that haha

if you did it right... you could do like a dark cherry pearl, almost black, and leave the door jams trunk and engine bay red.. make it part of the theme...

or do it white, with red interior and like your Simota1 sticker in red... would look kinda hot..
or red wheels.... OMG! soo hot

i was thinking of color matching the barrels of my volks red.... :D

perfect!


lol wait till you see this Z I am photoshopping, I will upload it tonight when I get some interwebz on my laptop..

could you photoshop my z? please lol with red barrels? but in a different more metallic red..?

yea, send me a good pic of your ride bro. whatever angles you wnat

^^^ yah man somthing like that!!! thanks bro... what do you guys think? yay or nay?

Dude, your ride is sexy as is. I would only go as far as time attacking the wheels

Same color of red on the wheels will work in my opinion.

That looks good .

i was thinking of reviving that look but i wanted to try something different....

thanks guys

I was thinking it might look hot to do the middle of the wheels red..

Damn you Simota, now I want the CFE steering wheel! LOL It sure looks nice on your ride.:yum: I know you are looking forward to getting my upper dash in your car soon. I just sent my double din insert to have covered. Yours looks great too.:tup:

you mean like the spokes? i think that would be kinda kool but dont you think itll be like overkill with the red.... :p i mean i know im pretty overkill with the red already but that would kill... kill it you know? if anything i was debating on gold spokes?

haha do it man!!!! his wheel was so nice when i drive her im scared to touch the cf part lol dont wanna smudge it hahahahhaah yah man im pretty stoked about my center dash to come in.... after that i think he might do my door inserts since they are falling apart... :shakes head:

http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1331403228sorry if its really bad.. i am super drunk... went to the globe with the wife... Japanese girls are so much fun!

Isamu, you do great work. If that's from being drunk, then wow. That looks sweet with them rims like that. I like the spokes painted better than the barrels. Decisions, decisions Simota. It's the toughest part of the mod process isn't it?

holy crap isamu that isnt bad at all... that looks pretty good..... :D


daemon, yah man decisions are the hardest part.... :( it totally stresses me out lol

omg man... lol dude... I need to go pick up my car, I had to leave it down town last night because she was really drunk, and i wasn't in any shape to drive, and the hilton had no rooms, and I couldn't carry her to another hotel.. :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

thanks bro!:tup:

There should be a way to "like" posts facebook style, because this one sir would be liked!

lol :tup: yall would have liked her grabbing japanese girls *** and telling them it was me.. LOLOL fucking wife...
