They do flow with the hood, im just not a fan of that style vent. I think Fly1Motorsports has a hood coming out with this kind of vent style. It looks pretty sick. You can see it kind of on the last page. http://www.the370z.com/body-interior...fenders-4.html

thanks man... ive seen his hood... and man its tastey!!! but the only thing is i dont wanna deal with throwing my stock hood or storing it because i have no space for it... thats why im leaning towards the cut hood and put vent route..... the vents on the ^^^^ isnt too aggressive thats the only downside.... :(

I don't like it but that's just my opinion.

Go For the vents I always get people saying "where you get that hood?" And not a lot of people have seen it.

quag... you think you can take a pic of the underside of your CS hood? :tup:

My bars are on island now :D gonna try and pick it up after work

Do you use your car every day? Have someone local modify your stock hood like CS did to theirs.

actually i barely use my car lol... but not having her in my garage really bugs me lol.... ill put more thinking into it....

on the bright side my bars are in and im installing them riighhhtt mmeeeoooowww

I was like its either 1am-4am anywhere in the U.S. and your installing parts on your Z LOL, then I realized you location said Guam lol.

I will tomorrow. I had the the vents meshed fiber glassed in.

lol.... its 11pm now... i need to get some longer bolts for the seat belts... its to short... typeone mentioned this to me already so its no biggie :tup: man the bars fit beautifully.. i went ahead and painted the blue parts like a bronze gun metal in a satin finish looks like tits lol ill post pics tomoro after i make the cut on the panels and put everything up

thanks bro :tup:

now the bad news... my z enclosure will not fit due to the bars :( so it looks like imma sell it... DOHHH!!!! now the head ache begins... imma make a FG enclosure to house a 12 woofer in between the seats behind them and also to hold 2 rear 6 1/2's :tup: problem is... i havent done this in a loonnnggg time....

Bars > sub enclosure all day!

^^^ :tup:

o.o

Good luck man. If anyone can do it you can.. Subscribed:tup:

thanks bro.... i went ahead and ordered the mdf flush mount rings already..... im gonna sell my z enclosure tomoro and after i get the money from that ill be buying some JL speakers to match my sub... im thinking of making the enclosure automotive black :tup: gonna look sleek

edit* also on the bar mounts... imma make them red :bowrofl: i was fighting it but after seeing it in the morning... i want it red LOL.... the bronze is nice but red is tits

so i went pretty hard on my panels today....

http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...34902802_n.jpg

this probably had to be the most difficult mod ive done on my z.... Not to mention how much time it chewed... took me about 5 hours to carefully dremel the crap outa the panels... i didnt finish the seat belt bars yet... gotta reshoot the mounts again because when i test fitted and would trim more outa the panel they got scuffed up pretty good.... :shakes head:

http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...54239446_n.jpg

:tup: tomoro im hoping the seat belt bars are easier to slot.... i honestly cringed when i took a 4'' hole saw into the panel lol

on a side note... i wouldnt recommend this mod to anyone who wants to keep the interior panels... it is a pain in the as$ to modify the panels

also.... dont mix beers with this mod.... i had a couple because at one point i felt like smashing the f*cking panels LOL..... after a while... it became even harder to tell if it was even with the other side :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

^ LOL, it looks good though! Very racy.

thanks bro...

update on the bars... i finished fitting the seat belt bars and cutting the panels for them to fit.... :tup: i woulda finished today but i got off work a lil late and started working on my car around 8pm.... :( two more days i think and ill post some finished photos ;)

http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...33096012_n.jpg

here is a shot of the metallic gun metal i went with :tup:

so i finished all the trim and smoothing out of the panels last night.... i shot satin black on top of the towers because when you install the bars and panels you see the red peaking through and it really bothers me. ill finish the install later on today... gotta reshoot the mounts because of all the scratches i got from the cutting phase ill post lotsa pics when im done ;)

alright.... lol seems like no love for this brace :inoutroflpuke: anyways i finished everything tonight.... i would say the install went excellent... after i reshot everything and popped in the panels everything went in smooth as silk no rubbing or fitment issues due to the "cut" i went ahead and polished the bars with some mothers billet polish... ill post more pics tomoro when the sun is out so everyone can see them better.... as for the z box... well it dont fit at all.... it was pretty apparent even if i didnt try and put it back in with the bars in place. its gonna go to another z owner locally :tup: he should be picking it up this weekend if he has the time.

http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...89059717_n.jpg

now... if any of you guys ever ask if i would ever recommend this mod to anyone? its pretty simple HELL NO lol... well if you gut out the panels then go for it... but if your gonna keep your panels.... ill buy you a couple rounds bud your gonna need it. Not only was laying out the holes difficult enough, trimming the curvatures and notches was a complete PIA.

NEXT MOD....

custom fiberglass enclosure.... its gonna have a 12 facing the front in between the seats JL W3 V3 and then ill have some nice JL 6 1/2's for the rear ill give myself 2-3 weeks to build this, since im working on my car only AFTER work and im a one man show this will be a interesting build for me... not to mention the last time i build a fiberglass box was in high school,

I like it bro looks good. You really know how to add some creative taste to the car.

thanks bro.... :tup: i appreciate it

morning shot... taken with my crappy samsung phone...

i got an update on the sound system... looks like my JL W3 will be for sale also... :( not enough room.. ill be looking for a shallow mount sub soon fakkkk!!!!

Man, it came out looking like it belongs in the :driving: car. Nice touch with the paint.. I all looks tight, good job..:tiphat:

Nice! :tiphat:

Are you kidding me no love?! I was just waiting for final pics. That looks amazing! All your hard work payed off.

Sounds like your trying to scare everyone off to be the only one with the mod :bowrofl:

J-next fender extensions :tup: front done now i gotta get the rears....

Now that the car looks great when are u going to bring it out? This is what my car looks like now. :shakes head:

I brought her out today and probably tomoro

I see ur installing ur cams bro looking good i think why the shaking head part

That's good that ur taking it out.

alright guys... so ive decided on my sound set up....

since JL is wayy over my budget i decided to go with this set up

P3 shallow mount 2ohn DVC wired @ 1 ohm

Rockford Fosgate P3SD212 (P3SD2-12) 12" Punch Stage 3 Subwoofer

fed by this monster

Rockford Fosgate R750-1D (R7501D) 750W Monoblock Class D Car Amplifier

with these 6 1/2's in all four corners

Rockford Fosgate Power T165 6-1/2" 2-Way T1 Coaxial Car Speakers

fed by this

Rockford Fosgate R600-4D (R6004D) 600W 4-Chan Class D Prime Amp

and everything stabilized with this

Rockford Fosgate RFC2D Hybrid 2.0 Farad Digital Stiffening

so the sub will be right behind the seats, in a FG enclosure and then the amps and cap will be right in back of the rear strut bar :tup:

i give my self until jan to put and buy everything for the build keep your fingers and toes crossed

Damn jon your car just keeps getting better! :tup:

Great choice of stuff. Only thing I was wondering why not a component in the front with tweeters and a crossover

thanks bro

thanks doc... i was trying to save a lil money.... but iguess your right... if i went hard with everything else i might as well go all the way right lol
