As a JDM lover, i would say NO. Ruining a CF hood is not cool, they are hard to cut and re-shape. Leave the hood as is, it'll look better if you put some nice stickers

its funny you linked this... because me and guamspyder were on this site about 2 days ago.... and we were looking at all the nice interior cf

it sucks about the console cuz its only a overlay and the hole for ignition start button is on the wrong side.... there steering wheels are hella nice though

Nice! But that thing is crying out for some deep dish wheels! And a more aggressive offset. imho

i totally agree with you... in time my good man.... one thing i have learned the hard way is.... i tend to rush things.... with my z before i use to buy things that to me were close enough to the best thing... NOW i only want the best things so that i cannot want more than what i have already... having said this i will definitely go for a aggressive set up.... i just havent totally decided on the rims and on top of that the money aint quite there yet.... originally i wanted the SSR mesh style... i forgot the model number or the work meisters man both of those wheels are absolutely gorgeous hands down.... my only complain is the up keep.... lets be honest here cleaning those tiny rivets suck major ****... when i still had my volks... i hated that part so freaking bad.... it killed me that i sat on each rim using a q tip to painstakingly clean those damn rivets... on top of that... with the weather conditions out here i noticed my friends who own these brand wheels with polished lips always have problems with those spiders or those whitesh imperfections forming under the clear of the rims.... i dont want that to happen to me it would drive me nuts..... i also like to clean the barrel of the rims.... with my old volks i would pull them off once a month to clean the barrel... the next set of wheels i get i DONT want to do that.... i just want it accessible while they are on my z....

HOWEVER if i had really really deep pockets i would get the work meisters none the less and use them only once a blue moon type of thing and leave them in my living room to drool at everyday...

but that will never happen

because my other half will strangle me in my sleep

6MT · 09-28-2013, 01:34 PM

Cool! I must agree that the cleaning thing is a major concern for me now. My Volks GT30's were very hard to clean. If I were to do it again, looks and design would be paramount in my mind.

Your cars looks great! Congrats. I sometimes wish I still had mine.

KaienZ34 · 09-28-2013, 03:19 PM

Yeah cleaning my gs4s and the gt-30s I had were both a b!tch. How about something like the work emotion cr ultimate, hot cheap-ish and easy to clean like stock wheels.

simota1 · 09-28-2013, 03:40 PM

so i just realized something.... thank you japanese website for making me feel like a dumass.... so when i first installed my r1 titan brace in the rear... i thought to myself... wow it looks so ugly how the hooks are right on the top? thats why deep down inside i said i should just got the one without the holes... so here i am looking for more jdm crap and i come across this... the person did a review on them.... and i laughed... because it made me realize i installed my brace WRONG... SOB

this was the reference picture...i used i believe it was from the project mothra notice the butt plugs are facing straight up in the air

when it should in fact face like this...

so that the top is clean... with no hooks... i also thought to myself man the harnesses are gonna scratch the brace... NOPE i was just a dumbass and installed mine wrong
