Vivid Racing - What's In The Shop Today
 

As much as I would like to post big 370z builds its unfortunately not often the case in the shop. At the same time there is a whole lot of awesome coming in and out of the shop that keeps me jazzed up to roll out of bed and make my 4 minute commute every morning.

Pardon the poor pic quality, most of the updates will be a cell pic while I'm checking in on a customer's car or just gawking at things..

Here's some of the recent pics of randomness

Just after SEMA the guys from HRE popped up in their BRZ, peep the wild wheel finish!

Wow you guys have some great projects going on. Love the M5s license plate too, except for the Cardinals part.

What's been done to the ST if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks! The plate kills it for me too :) Go Lions! :happydance:

Wow that ST is sick. Probably the best looking one I have seen, have you guys considering doing anything about the hood gap?

I'm not sure we've looked into a solution for the gap yet.

I'm pretty sure all you do is tighten the rubber things under the hood. I was looking at the ST last year, and I don't remember the exact solution, but I think it was something really simple like that.

I now have boner.

nope. There is a fixed plastic latch mechanism that needs to be ground down a bit or front bumper raised, I've seen both. The rubber bumpers won't change where the middle of the hood lines up and you have to also be careful of the hood to headlight gap when moving them. It's one of the most common beotches about the car.

man seeing different types of cars coming in the shop, wished i had that job lol

---^ was a fun job.

Gotcha, I just remember someone on FocusST.org once mentioned they fixed most of their gap screwing the rubber bumpers down more, so I wasn't sure if that fixed the whole problem or not. That makes sense though, I remember reading that some people said they did some drilling too. I guess that is what they were referring to.

Yep. Tried the rubber stopper fix on mine, no go. :(

Yikes that ford is ugly? Could they have riced it up any more?

Thanks for the pictures!! Vivid please keep the thread going and keep us up to date on what happens to show up at the shop!!!:tup:
