How long should this project take??!!

People ask why the scoop.. Well the scoop was mainly for the purpose of looks. I was alrady expecting flaming but I didnt know you guys took it so seriously. But I understand because you guys do take this stuff seriously and its okay since mechnical engineering is a part of some of your lives. I'm just an inexperienced young guy who wants to have a sexy looking car but i suppose the purpose was defeated after i put on a fake hood scoop. I pick things up fast and i've already learned that i need to get a functional hood in the future. I don't have grands to blow like some people on here so i'm currently going to save up for the Seibon Hood with vents so you guys can troll me about my stick on scoop all you want for the mean time. Most likely going to get it Hybrid FRP and paint it nissan factory metallic black. Im also going to get carbon fiber door handle covers to complete the black/red theme

Lols. OP got smacked around with productive, maybe a little harsh, criticism until he learned.

And best part is he's a good sport about it.

Sweet.

I like the rims. I like that they are different than everyone else's.

bluebird244 · 04-17-2013, 10:07 AM

Thanks guys. And why it took so long, I don't know. Although i was distressed about the whole wait, after seeing the finished product, i couldn't be too angry. He said there was heavy customer traffic in the shop and I suppose he just wasn't putting the time into my car like he should have.

I am still betting on him taking it out for JOYRIDES

Agree I would've checked the mileage and have them write it on the receipt before dropping it at the body shop and after picking it up.

Sounds like you were not his first priority and he was fitting people in before you. I would not go back to that shop.

Here's some ridiculous looking, but functional aero bits for your next project:

Driver: "Nope, still not planted enough. More downforce please."
Team: "Where at? Front? Rear?"
Driver: "Uhh... all over please. Front, sides, bottom, top, rear, and may I get an extra two feet on each side of the wing? Thanks."
Driver: "And a few more hundred of those red things. They seem to be adding HP."

the blackout headlights look awesome, want that done to mine...
High wing looks good too..plus the front lip.

Cyberium · 04-21-2013, 08:59 AM

WTF.

Do not encourage this craziness. My god... what has been seen cannot be UN-seen.

I love the 370z... but it's getting to a point where a used one is just at the right price point to fall into the wrong hands... and this is the result.

Z_Enthusiast · 04-21-2013, 11:47 AM

how did I end up here?
I was originally looking at oil coolers...

peleincubus · 04-22-2013, 02:10 AM

I think I could accept all the scoops etc. But the red paint on the wheels is too much.
