DaineZ Journal: meet "Rosalena"
 

Name: Rosalena
DOB: January 20, 2009

Whats going on ladies & gents?!
Well I fell in love with my baby, Rosalena, the moment i laid my eyes on her
showcased @ my local dealership last January & ever since then my life has been GREAT :D

Due to some financial issues i had to take care of,
my mod list has been slacking.
But i'm getting back on track and the mods are comming :tup:

so far i have a KENWOOD DNX6140 HU with a PIONEER REAR VIEW CAM.
i'll take pics of them tonight when the sun goes down so there wouldnt be any glare.

I've done the BLACK FANG mod on Rosalena but i need to re-do it because i am not satisfied.

Heres what came in 2 days ago :D

Tomorrow 9.14.09 i have an appointment @ 180 Customs for my headlights!
The housing will be painted MATTE BLACK & the projectors will be color matched to SOLID RED! I'm also gonna have the "landing-strip" Led's done! i might throw in an extra mod but i still need to think about it ;)

I'm gonna leave the car over night @ their shop and pick it up Tuesday!
I cant wait! I'll post pics ASAP :D

so enough with the talking..

i basically made this "journal" so i could post my updates & progress with Rosalena..

Check with me from time to time ;)

Looks good but I gotta ask...where'd the name come from???

^^ Well i wanted to name her ROSE cuz of the color but it didnt sound right to me.
Too plain. I wanted something SEXY and EXOTIC. @ that time i was listening to music and my play list is on random. SELENA - Dreaming of you plays... lol then BAM! ROSALENA! tadaaa!

Daine your z is banging bro!
I'm going to be the first to see it in person!
I'll take some nice pics for ya.

Dude, your rear view camera is actually made to go in the front... lol. When I was reversing your car, everything on the screen was backwards.. a car came from the left when it really came from the right. Bugged me out for a second. lol

See you tomorrow, I'll let you know what time to come thru.

^^ LOL i never noticed that! lmao! see you later today man! goodlooks for the hook up!

hey, where did you get your rubber matts? they seem to fit nicely. i'm lookin to get some for the winter.

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...z/91309011.jpg

i think those all weather mats was one of the first things i got for the car. i didnt wanna ruin the "Z" logo mats. you can get them @ your local Autozone :tup:

it fits perfectly. if your skeptic about the fitments, ask the autozone peeps if you could fit it first! thats what i did ;)
good investment.

goodluck!

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...DSC03739-1.jpg
^^ thats a pic i took months ago when i first bought the mats

nice looking z.. :D

RoZalena* ? :)

Alright, cool. Thanks for the info. I'll keep my eye out for them.

Good job with the car, btw. :tup:

thanks for the kind words everyone :D

its 9am here and i just cant sleep anymore.
really excited to pick up Rosalena later & see her new "eyes" made by Dr. Igor @ the 180 Customs laboratory! :stirthepot: lol!

i just called a Shop in Florida NISSAN 370Z 09-12 BOMEX FRONT LIP SPOILER CARBON - aerotrends.com regarding the new bomex front lip & they just said they had it in-stock! i gotta call BOMEX today, talk to the Sales Manager and mention that I spoke to the other company about the lip & CONFIRM that they really have it in stock! i wanna see some actual pics too! If the pics match the sketch, i'm coppin' EARLY!

once thats confirmed, ORDERING!!!!!!!

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...370zfu04-2.jpg
sex or what? :yum::yum::yum:

i really hope it looks EXACTLY like that if not even better! nice slick & simple design. none of that rice sh*t. i cant wait to get this so i can finally re-do the Black Fangs on rosalena cuz i hate looking at mine right now. i see maaaaad flaws. >_< i want rosa to be perfect..

^ that's funny b/c i always associated bomex with that rice sh*t. but as discussed in the bomex thread, this one's pretty clean.

are you going to lower the car too?

How are u going to re-do the black fangs? Paint?

^^ yeah same here. i never really liked other BOMEX products cuz they were "overdone" aka "rice". but yeah this lip is simple & clean, i love it. i just hope the actual product looks exactly or even better than the sketch. as far as lowering, i have no intentions yet.

yeah, and this time add a clear coat to add strength/gloss to the finish.

I'm sure u saw already but bomex has pictures of their kit on a white 370Z. It sounds like your going to do it the right way with painting the fangs, I am unsure about this mod cus it looks unique like an Audi, Evo X or GTR, but I think the fangs make the 370Z stand out from the 350Z. Still on the fence I suppose :(

BOMEX has pics of their kit on a white 370z?! like pictures of the ACTUAL PRODUCT? can u link me or show a pic? i havent seen any pics yet except for the sketch.

I think it'll look hot :)

i appreciate the honesty tho!

Dang, I confused bomex with branew, but the kit looks the same. Here is the link: BRANEW | 370zblog.com

^^ oh yea i seen the branew kit. it aint my type. it has extra designs that make it look yuck to me lol.
Bomex on the other hand is way cleaner/slicker/simpler. which is why i like it.

LADIES & GENTS! HERE ARE SOME PICS I TOOK FROM MY CELL PHONE EARLIER TODAY!
THIS IS IN BROOKLYN NY behind the 180 CUSTOMS SHOP!

in the pictures is my ROSALENA & Stoof's g37!

sorry for the small amount of pics. i'll take more pics tomorrow!

I'll take close-up shots tomorrow!

OVERALL VERY SATISFIED WITH THE HEADLIGHT MOD!
IGOR @ 180 CUSTOMS REALLY DID A GOOD JOB! VERY COOL PERSON.
it was great meeting him & stoof!

you cant see in those pics but the Demon Eyes looks sick @ night!

again, i'm gonna take close-up pics tomorrow with my digicam!

Sry for the mistake, the lights look great. I wish there was a shop like that where I live in FL.

Stoof's g37 made me really want my exhaust badly! he had an HKS exhaust with titanium tips it sounded SEX! i cant wait for my Fast Intentions Exhaust!! and his G was dropped and his rims had the ONLY aggressive offset! looked sick! made me really wanna work hard & get on the grind for my rims!!

Its all good. Well you can always ship your headlights to Igor and they can mod it for you then ship it back :tup: somebody in the forum did that i think.

True, but then I would not be able to drive for a couple of days, was it alot for the whole job?

the price was worth every cent. i'm not sure i can talk about pricing cuz i'm not a representative but feel free to contact Igor! heres his cell phone # (917)558-5164

Banging!
My turn once I stop getting in trouble!

BANGIN man!! i didnt know u had a journal :tup: ur car looks sick... good job man

would've looked sexier w/o the front plate..

but damn looks sick dude :tup:


ps. you need to drop that sh*t! :)

evil red headlights! looks neat, cant wait to see the closeups...

^^ thankss man! yeah dude! once u start your mods, you will get addicted. TRUST ME! lol :tup:

thanks bro! i owe the BLACK FANG mod to you! thank you so much for the help on that one! i still gotta re-do it tho cuz i f*cked up lol.

^^ +1 on the drop! i have hugeeee gaps on the fenders compared to that g37! he said the same sh*t to me too haha! yea most def dude! working on my rims too!
