Also, will you consider getting a new set of wheels or powder-coat/paint yours back to single color??

I personally love the Rays but if i were to change i would just buy a set of new wheels. Already have a few in mind to select from in the future.

Rays, Weds, good choice for the Z.

I bet you will go for 20, right??

I think your car looks pretty good. Any time someone makes a thread about hood scoops or lambo doors or neon lights etc, they are signing themselves up for a little flaming. THE370Z members are one of the nicest compare to other forums. I don't think they were being mean. So were joking around a little bit but I don't think they mean it in a bad way. At the end, we are here to guide you to the right path. Many of the members suggested against the scoop bc lets say you attend track evens like HPDE where you speed up to 130-140MPH, that hood scoop holing by double sided tape may become a flying object to your windshield or car behind you. We are just giving you honest feedback. As I always say, it's your car. You're paying for car payment and insurance. So can do whatever you want to it. You have to understand, you have a pretty decent car. It has 332 hP. The more functional stuff you can put on the car, the more performance benefit you'll enjoy.

I don't want to close this thread if you guys keep it clean :tup:


PS: Plasti dip the door handles. They look out of place with the "black theme"

I personally prefer 19, it's good for DD especially the road is kinda bumpy.

And it's lighter too.

Exterior ;
Spec-S Front Lip
Xenon Rear Body Scoop (Has vents to allow air flow under the car and the brakes with cooling purpose)

I know you were saying you want to get more education on motor performance, so I thought you should know that venting air underneath your car is bad as it creates pressure and lift underneath your car (unless you have a massive diffuser on the back which will channel that pressure to create negative lift aka downforce). Now if you had ducts from those vents to your brakes and not just to the general underneath portion of your car, then that is a good thing. Saying this all as just an FYI.

Your car looks nice btw. I think a blacked out look would look really sick (meaning rims and handles should be all black) since you're already almost blacked out.

Theres a picture of the Rear Body Scoop with the vent but no specifications i can't get a picture from underneath. I did more examination on it and its a small passageway that goes through a small area to the underneath of the car. I think it's the brakes, not sure. My body guy told me that it cools the breaks so i'm going to take his word for it. There's also the side shot of the rear and close up on the wheels.

So what took them so long?

Zythaxus 04-16-2013 01:46 PM

:tup: Lookin good but def dip the handles.....looks like 2 sore thumbs. Still :shakes head: about the hood scoop...stick on = fly off eventually. esp since it will be catching wind.
