simota1 03-16-2010 07:43 AM

i sanded down the whole tail light.. then i masked off the area i didnt want to be tinted... then i sprayed a light coat of tint on my clear strips.... until i thought it was good enough then i cleared the whole taillight :tup:

naw man... but i will take better pics when i have the time :tup:

simota1 04-03-2010 05:03 PM

update!!!

ive been putting alota thought.... and realistically i highly doubt i will get some rims anytime soon.... first thing is first.... im waiting for the stillen supercharger to be fully released and wait till some of you guys install them :tup: wait it out lol im not saying there are going to be bugs and stuff with the kit i just wanna be absolutely sure when i do buy the kit... i dont wanna run into problem after problem.... :tup: and on top of the super charger.... im waiting to see finalized pics on the stillen front fascia and side skirts..... if it looks exactly and good as the photo shop then im going to get them.... if not then ill stick with the jp vizage lip and nismo s-tune side skirts route i was planning on ever since....:happydance: i think that should absolutely keep me busy this whole year until maybe the beginning of next.... with that said... im really tired of looking at my car and the rims looked sucked in the car... its worse because its dropped and it cambers in more.... soooooo for the mean time....

i ordered me a set of ichiba V2 spacers... thanks to schrute for helping me out with the right ones to get.... i ordered 30mm for the front and 25mm for the rear :tup:

next mod.... MINES ADD ON SPOILER.... this is going down after my ichibas arrive and get powder coated black... i am super stoked about the wing... even if its super ridiculously priced..... because after that... the rear of my car will be finished :rock:and i know its gonna look absolutely sexy lol..... :leghump::leghump::leghump:

rico magic 04-04-2010 08:10 AM

Again, awesome bro!

370Z JT 04-07-2010 09:24 PM

O and over the week end i applied 5 layers of wax on my z... i washed her with mothers car wash then mothers clay bared her then i used a cleaner wax from mothers then a glaze from meguirs then a full carnuba wax from mothers then a hi tech yellow wax from meguirs twice!!! :D the outcome is like a mirror lol but my arms felt the pain from all the buffing... they felt like noodles.... still waiting on my spacers... the powdercoating guy should be back from states this wens... ill have him touch up the curb rash i have on one of my rims and the spacers... here are the pics of my z... wish i had a better camera... its soo shiny when im putting on the car cover... its slipping all over the place lol its like glass ;)

BOLIO 671 04-12-2010 06:46 AM

Totally diggin' you're ride Simota!!!! When you got your tpms changed, were you able to warranty it with Nissan? If not how much did that thing cost you?

simota1 04-12-2010 07:12 AM

thanks bro!!!! the tpms sensor was $115... and $40 bucks to install.... the warranty didnt cover it because it wasnt defective.. i broke it lol :(

:ohsnap1: Shame on those Nissan Guys for not hookin you up :shakes head:...I swear they can be so Anal.....I'm getting to the point where I'm about to say :gtfo2: with the whole warrant thing and just get some stuff for the car...Curious..did they void your whole warranty with your parts...Cuz that's what they told me...Any mods would void my warranty all together...and your car is Modded the F--- OUT!

FYI...That whole rear camera is hella solid! What did that cost you? and where did you hook up the monitor?
