That would be the smarter choice. And yea if i did get the kit i wouldnt be able to stance it. So with this new ideas. im leaning towards repairing the car and audio. And since its rusting already would it be better to cut and re weld? instead of banging it out and bondo?
Yeah dude. Get that fixed right away. Make the Z look sexy again.

If you can really get an Amuse kit at that price, its hard to pass up.

Thing is, you want to do it 100% right, I would only do the kit if everything else exterior wise looks top notch. I don't recall in the previous posts if you mentioned being on stock or aftermarket wheels?

A kit like that deserves a great stance and top notch wheels to really get the full effect of the look.

If you already have money set aside to fix the rusting quater panel, and you got the wheels to set off the kit, I'd go Amuse.

Otherwise, I'd get the car back up to spec first, good luck!! :tiphat:

If it was you what would you do? None

The Amuse kit to me is rice.

Audio?....To much unwanted weight in a race/sports car.

Engine, Suspension mods only.

Just imagine if it was your girl that was hurt... and say that referencing her, which would you do? :rolleyes: :rofl2:

"Would it be better to do something nice and make her feel better,
Or just get in, get off, get out..."

Well im fairly new to this car repair scene. So I wouldnt know which would be better but no cutting and welding seems like the better option. The audio would only give me like an extra 30 pounds of weight. Not enough to make difference. I just have to lose thirty pounds. ANd yea i can get the kit for $700 thats why it was i was so bent up on it.

Nope. Bondo is the hack job way out. Cutting and welding is the right way.

With my box, its a hefty weight back there, I won't lie.

Zenclosures box
2x 10" subs
Amp


However, the good thing is all of that weight is sitting right on top of the rear axle. On a RWD car, this is not such a bad way to have it.

ಠ_ಠ

Order the whole piece that needs to be replaced, take off the entire piece to be replaced, replace old piece with new piece.

Please don't cut the new panel....

It's the rear fender. It's part of the body of the car. It has to be cut out and a replacement welded in. That may require some cutting of the new part to match.

Rear Quarter Panels cant be fixed that way.
Its welded onto the car.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you were talking about the rear bumper. Which wouldn't make any sense since its plastic and you were talking about rust. My bad.

zefaulter 12-31-2013 08:50 AM
I just noticed you have a 2013 on your profile? Is that the rusty one? That's way too early
