Dropped my new wheels off for ceramic coating

BettyZ 07-09-2019 11:00 AM

Must be nice to work at Seibon.. apparently they had all of last week off. Still waiting for word on my hood. Been two weeks and getting a bit ridiculous for an item I was told was in stock.

Drove over my Carbon Signal front lip... :driving:

I'd like to thank Carolina Collision for their superb mounting skills courtesty of a few pieces of 2-sided tape and plastic screws on the OEM bumper lip :facepalm:

CMAK and clutch kit dropped off at Winding Road. Now I just wait!


Edit: they're replacing the rear main seal while everything is open. 120K maintenance stuff.

Damn... you’re not going to let that slide are you?

abm89 07-09-2019 06:53 PM

All of these posts relating to issues with body work is precisely why i don't care if my car looks like it's been thru a battle. There's always something with these shops or parts manufactures when it comes to body work.

Except for Aeromotions and Verus Engineering. Ya'll are legit AF.

Big oof. That looks worse than the one that was up for sale that someone had backed into a little while ago.

Here is a nice shot of my first 370Z (40th Anniversary) from 7 years ago...

Installed... the mechanic was commenting on how well the welds were done and how well made it is. Then installed and tightened down the bolts for a perfect fit.

The carbon cans are sweet too. Oh man so happy. Now time to drive

Sway 07-10-2019 04:45 PM

Sent Z1 a nasty email. Yay me.

Did they take a dump in the box again before they shipped it out?

TLDR; got Z1 mani with crooked emblem, said they’d send a free one with next order, 3 orders later letting them know each time, no emblem. This time was a $1200 order I wrote 3 times in the instructions do NOT require a signature. (FedEx sucks crusty donkey nuts with elephantitus that have been dragging on the ground so they’re covered in sticker bites and matted ****) If you have to have on required, notify me first.

Signature required. They did not notify me.

So now I have to wait 3 days for them to pretend they’re attempting to deliver. Then leave work early without pay, bother a friend with a truck, and drive 45 minutes one way to pick it up. And hope they didn’t close the store early and leave randomly like they often do, otherwise I have to do it all over again.

That's some serious bullsauce. What the F did you order that you need a truck for?

That sucks
I bought CF hood from another company.Took 4 months to get hood and it was also damaged.They custom make hoods so would have to wait another 4 months.

I fixed hood myself so I could use it.Took two solid weeks to fix.I was just starting to experiment with CF.

Did the shipping company send out a damage inspector for the first hood?

They waited for me to open box.You could tell by condition of box it was damaged.
Filled out a damage sheet on the spot.
Manufactory worked out a deal with me for cost of damage.
I do not know if they got something from the carrier.

Had some damage pictures on old phone.Could not find.
Hood was cracked in the middle and one corner was broken off.
This is a personal opinion on ascetics.A lot of people leave CF hoods unpainted.
Shows I bought expensive hood.Will gray over time.
I like the look better showing some CF or painted.

Holy shiite. That, sir, is a superhero hood.

Got the car back! Now it's time to break in the clutch. It feels SO different with the CMAK. The clutch is actually super light and I can feel the pucks when they hit the flywheel lol.

WR did some extra work under the car making sure it's put together right. New Transmission fluid in there too. They opted for MT-90, Which feels smooth right now so we shall see how that goes. I usually use 85, but I know some on the forums prefer 90.

JARblue 07-12-2019 10:50 AM

The MT-90 should give you a slightly longer change interval since it holds up to the heat a little better. Both are good fluids :driving:

Ian B 07-12-2019 10:57 AM

Taking her to work today. Yeepeee!

Z1 contacted me back twice on the matter.

They pretty much bent over backwards for me it seems.
My next order will be here next week (just a extended lug stud tool)
And we will see exactly what they did.

But they were quick to respond, explain, and offer viable solutions to my issues.
I’m satisfied and will order from them again.

Good to hear. Recently they seem to be getting more complaints than compliments regarding their customer service, so I'm glad they are taking care of you. As they should.

Naw, they were just trolling the forum and saw his avatar. Sway, was one of their messages "We'd like to get you.. err, your Z on the dyno..."?
