simota1 10-22-2012 09:28 PM

so i also got bored last night... and i pulled off my blinkers...

i never really liked the silver z emblem right smack in the middle of the carbon... if i could have it my way... i would have never opted for the blinkers on the CS fenders....

i went with three different options.... black ring and black z, black z and silver ring, black everything....

the black ring and z looked ok... but the shiny lens threw it off for me... not my cup of tea...

then the black z with silver ring was pretty nice but looked like a silver circle on my fenders :bowrofl: only looked good when your like 2 feet near the z...

then black out everything... i actually did this by accident.... i plasti dipped it and installed it because i was gonna peel the lens part while it was on my z... so i installed it and took a step back and i actually liked it :tup: so thats the choice i went with...

also.. the blinker still lights up... the light shines through the plasti dip ;)

so my rings came in.... im going to start building the box probably next week :tup: fiberglass nightmare HERE I COME!!! :roflpuke2: there are two things i realized while trying to put the rings in the spots that i wanna mount them... we have small cars :facepalm: it never really hit me until today :bowrofl:

now my big problem... i have no idea where the hell to mount my amps :shakes head: looks like behind the seats but its a shame to hide all that eye candy

simota1 10-24-2012 03:43 AM

also... i ordered some digital floor mats at a local car shop from weather tech.... mad props to my friend for getting it to me for $115 shipped to guam :happydance: i contacted them directly and they wanted i think like $50-60 for shipping.... :ugh2: no bueno for that lol... so i should see them in two weeks....

jay should send me out the Z emblems by the end of this week.... :tup: im hoping it looks good on the front and rear

and FINALLY my GTR map lights will arrive maybe today or tomoro... been like 5 weeks since i ordered those puppies

wheee! 10-24-2012 07:26 AM

Jeez Sim, I think the only thing you're missing now is the Boosted Performance Twin Scroll mid mount turbo set up!... Your car is pure sex. I'm supposed to be picking up my Amuse replica kit off a friend this week... here's hoping!

BoomerZ33 10-24-2012 10:58 AM

love your car dude. nice work.

Im not to hip on this kind of thing, but if you went with GTM couldnt they just do a canned tune for you? Do some data logging send it to Sam and have him resend you a tweeked file if needed? I would give him a call and find out.

:iagree: GTM kit ftw! The maps you get would still do you good and from what I've read over the years about GTM I am sure they would help you out if you did some data logging.

Two questions for you though Jon are the digital floor mats just normal weather tech mats or something different? I have the weather tech liners currently and love them! I would search but I'm on my mobile due to being out of town for work still. Also wondering what are the gtr map lights?

Also don't hide the eye candy you are putting to much into it to hide it all. I'm sure you will find a way to display all that sexiness. I am looking forward to seeing the progress!:tup:

joe went with that route and his car ran horrible... it ended up in a huge arguement in one thread and everyone backed up sam that joe was the retard and didnt have a clue on wtf he was doing... i beg to differ... joe personally made me hear some of the conversations he recorded and man... :shakes head: is all im gonna say... i dont wanna open up a can of worms on this subject but if i was ever brave enough to go FI i would go STILLEN even if for the price the power isnt that great compared to GTM

also i had another buddy here and his still on here not gonna mention names but he got a uprev plus tune from sam and his car ran like crap... he hated his car so much that he almost sold it... i dont think ill ever risk going through gtm because guam is to far from states to argue with him and no one will believe us over here :(

hey mike :hello:

the digital are the ones that look molded to your floor....

Weathertech® Floor Mats Floorliner Nissan 370Z 2010 2011 Black | eBay

like those ^^^^^ :tup:

the GTR map lights are these...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96...11700002-2.jpg

they are about 40-50 bucks for a pair... they are clear vs frost look

i also think i found a way to show them in the trunk area in front of my gt spec bars :tup:

simota1 10-24-2012 05:49 PM

it was such a nice day so i took out my zed.... shes even dirty :bowrofl:

http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...42098592_n.jpg

before i took this pic i changed my mind about the blinkers.. so i stripped the lens part to make the shine come out... the all black looks good up front... but from far it looks kinda bland... vs black ring and z and shiny lens looks weird up front... well at least to me lol and looks good from a distance which counts :tup:

LMBmikeZ 10-24-2012 05:50 PM

Thanks for clarifying. I thought that's what you meant for the mats I also have those and love them!:tup: I would/and have recommended the liners to anyone and everyone, great product!

Sounds good about the mounting location to. I'm looking forward to see your finished project!

i think these map lights look a hell of a lot nicer than the stock ones.... the stock ones remind me of the lights on a airplane bathroom.... combined with leds they are super bright :tup: and for 41 bucks they are a bang for the buck

RCZ 10-25-2012 03:18 PM

I love everything about your car except the wheels. I've just never liked those on any car. Now those BBS...with red centercap and lugs...would be the most epic setup ever.

damn.... thats a grip.... but for sure ill be the only one with them on island if i get them.... 6k for them im guessing with tires... thats a huge pill to swallow... if i sell my current set up which i could probably get 2k for it hmmm

TheGreatOne 10-25-2012 07:23 PM

Those BBS would be sick on your car for sure!

I like the clear map lights, my led's are already crazy bright/white, I can imagine with those clear lenses, would be like daylight!

So Nissan offers the car with the cloudy lame ones but have these clear ones as an upgrade?
