Zilverbullet's 2013 370z Journal
 

Purchased my first Z in March of 2013 after owning a 2002 vw jetta 1.8t. I've learned a LOT about this vehicle and modding in general and it sucks that I found the370z.com AFTER purchasing my z from the dealership (impulse purchase, did not get sports package). Regardless, I love my car and have gotten over the fact that I don't have shiny calipers or srm by distracting myself with mods :icon17:

How my Z looked by the end of 2013

I will have some better photos up in the next couple weeks. Just dropped off my lip to get paint matched and waiting for wheels to arrive as well.

Thanks for viewing, more to come :tiphat:

I'm blacking out the door handles on mine tomorrow!

How much did your clear bra cost you?

It will look good! I plastidipped mine anthracite grey but will probably get it profesionally painted (or even look into shaving the handles completely >:])

I think I paid around 300ish for the front clear bra.

that front wheel though haha so dirty
looking good with that mod list.

Great investment on the clear bra. I did it as well on my 2014 and couldnt be any happier. If done right, you cant even tell its there.

Keep modding her, she's a beauty!

@Chris, yea dude I'll get some cleaner ones on soon ;)

@Dom, the peace of mind is definitely worth the price

Just picked up this beautiful piece from being painted. Can't wait to wash the car and get it mounted!

TE37SL's are going to look so good on the car!

^^You speak the truth!!!

Mounted the Varis lip and f14s this weekend!

Also had my duckbill spoiler installed by the same shop that painted the lip a couple weeks ago for $75. If anyone in san jose,ca is looking for a great paint/autobody shop PM me!

Haha thanks for the motivation! It's been awhile since I had time to do anything to the car. The mod bug hit me feverishly in March and I thought I recovered but it's coming back slowly....

Here are some updates since:

A$$

looking good man I miss my lip

O **** what happened to it!??!

Thinking about paint matching Evo sides or ordering the stillen side skirts.

I like how the Evo r side blades line up with the varis carbon lip but there is too much gap between the body and blade which kills the flow.

Leaving this for now but will probably be selling soon.

Also just put it an order for more varis goodies with bulletproof :D

I like the gold accents on the front grille.. And everything else too!

Really like the blacked out grill and that splitter.

Since you have black handles are you going to black your lights and badges (sorry if you said that already)?

Thanks! I wish it would stand out more in pictures.


Thanks man, I think Varis makes the best looking lip for the 13+ so far.

Im planning on de-badgeing the front and back nissan emblems, kinda like how Galeforce did. Just trying to figure out if it's something I can easily do or if I should get a shop to.

The future plan is to add gold along the edges of the carbon fiber kind of how Varis did with blue on the arising kit. When I do that, I'll paint either the projector shrouds or housing in brembo gold to match the gold accent (and then gold bbk as well *wishful thinking*)

OHhhh gold trim. Interesting. Like it. Unique. Sub'd.

JDM goodie sneak peak....
