Did you use a double sided tape to hold it on? The fitment issue is the only one that stops me from getting one. But yours looks right on the button.

Did you buy it directly from Evo R?

Trying to decide if I want something like this or if I should just hold out for an amuse rep rear bumper and the carbon fiber raptor front.

Well, I just finished a bunch of suspension work last weekend (Swift, Whiteline, H&R, rotors etc) and I have the rear stripped for amp install and sound deadening. Tomorrow, I have to run wires for rear cam and that zstore switch/wiring kit for the rear fog so I'll revisit the diffuser again.

My kit from the zstore came with a tube of silicone for adhesion but just that initial test fitting left me feeling there's going to be a lot more involved in attaching that thing. I've also considered making some diffuser like "fins" out of Plexiglass, mounting them and then Plastipping the area.

I do like the Amuse too but that won't be for a long, long time or unless a used one falls in my lap for a good price because I committed to that GTM TT group buy and scrambling to afford it.

Oh man, I want the TT so bad but just can't afford it right now. I'll probably just wait for a lot longer and get the FI TT kit. Like, A LOT LONGER. :(

:tiphat: That looks awesome brother... You continue to inspire me:tup: .. We need to get your lights done brother, get your a$$ over here so I can hook them up, with your help of course :happydance: !!!

Have a safe trip...

@huck

I can't either, haha. That's why it's going to be on layaway for a year or so.

That a nice list brother :tup: . You have been busy :driving: ! I love my Whitelines, best part I ever installed.. That sound deadening will be nice. I used the spray on sound deadening from Eastwood to cover the ruff spots and areas I couldn't reach all they way to the front firewall. Made a huge difference. Congrats on the build. :tiphat:

Thanks! Last week's table O' goodies. Not pictured: next day's back full O' pain.

Nice !!!! Man you need to make a build page ! I wish you were closer, we have a great crew up here in Tampa. I hope to meet you some time. Will you be Auto Crossing the car?

Thanks! I was so busy with trying to get all this done, I didn't really have time to take a lot of great build/how-to photos and my hands were too greasy for the camera much of the time.

I do have a lot more photos and pseudo build thread I'm actually working on right now on our local club's site if you want to have a look. I had the help of a couple of friends for two days only so we rushed to get everything knocked out: 370Z suspension and brake upgrades with Jean and Ben

Not sure about autoX yet but I'm sure setting it up for that. I definitely want to meet everyone up in Tampa and I'm looking forward to it! Remember, I'm still brand new to the Z and the scene.

That's a great collection of parts, I'm jealous! If I don't need a camber kit I'm thinking about Whitelines next. Of course, I'm thinking about a lot of things next, but it all takes money. Anyone want to donate to Huck's Go Fast Foundation for slow cars? :bowrofl:

From what I've read, folks generally don't need a camber kit for the slight drop the Swifts provide, just the bolts. I was in a good position after selling off a ton of similar Miata performance parts plus fortunate timing of someone selling all these Z parts cheap that I had to jump on it. I mean, it's really wheelin' and dealin' at its best, otherwise I couldn't have afforded all this at once.

I also have a bunch of great audio equipment from the old car, spools of wire and a couple rolls of Fatmat so the audio will be "free" this time, so to speak.

I know...not the right place...

:tiphat:What are you asking for? What we think its worth with those mods or PM you for price if we know someone interested in it? Just checking!

My 09 had more mods and I picked it up for 24,000.00.. Yours is an 11, if you find an enthusiast 28, 29,000.00. Remember I bought mine in 2011 it was 2 years old then. I'm sure some one else will chim in with some input..



.

I love this car and reason for sale inquiry is not financial. That said, I didn' t list a price because that becomes the ceiling and immediately offers start 10-15% under. I also know there will be losses on the mods. I've seen FI cars listed in the 30k range. Basically I'm looking at country property and would be better served by a 4wd truck.

I know what you mean :tiphat: ! I am the opposite; I built a Dodge 2500 and a Ford Excursion. We used them both to do Pre-Runs in Ca. We move to the flattest state in the US Florida. The truck turned into a HWY crawler, $250.00 in gas a week.

I bit the bullet and traded it in for the Z. The only way I would ever part with my car is to get a newer one! :tiphat: Good luck with you sell, sorry your loosing your amazing car... There should be an Obama Plan some were to help keep the Z :stirthepot: !

Anyone looking for a set of HFCs or resonated test pipes?

I have a set of used ERZ HFCs and a new set of Berk RTPs. PM me if you are interested!

There's the added temptation of all these FI packages coming out and I can't get boost out of my head. Christ I already drive like a teenager, looking for the next GT, SS or SRT. Best one was against a stock 392. Ruined his day lol

Diffuser
 

Used 3m double sided tape instead of the silicone provided. Got it from the Z store.

:stirthepot:

http://www.the370z.com/members/chpt1...r-diffuser.jpg

time to dump that stock plate:) Get a sweet custom one that matches your cars color! Thats what ive done to all 3 of my cars!

I took some time to surf the web last nite. I see what you mean. I thought the resale on a low production car would hold up better than that. Guess I'll just look for an older 4x4 and drop a crate motor in it. Besides, all the non diesel trucks I was looking at LIST 4-5k higher than the Z stickered for.....that's the price of union labor pensions and benefits.

After finishing all the suspension/brake work on my Z, now I have a bunch of parts in the garage I'm thinking of parting with.

At first, I was thinking I'd save them all in case I return my Z to stock before trading in for a new Z but after all this work, that seems unlikely.

Do you guys think my stock Sport rotors and pads would be worth something? They're in excellent shape.

Plate
 

Yea, been trying to come up with something good. I think the "Endless Summer" plate color will be a good color match for the magma.

How much would you want for the rotors and pads!

why not just go back to stock and get more money for the car when traded in and sell me your exhaust and intakes :rolleyes:

no it wont, cause its looks best on my red car, so you cant copy me!

Anything looks good on Magma red, every time I see you pull into the neighbor hood I hurt my neck trying to stare at it. It is turning into my second favorite color on this car :tup:

I dunno. Whatever you think is fair I suppose. I haven't sold Z parts before but I'm getting ready to make some ads this weekend probably: brakes and suspension parts off a Sport, Bel remote radar detector set (NIB), aluminum iluminated door sills, 2ch amp (75W RMS!) and the pull-out hatch cover to name a few. Haven't come up with prices for anything yet but if this heads up helps, I'd rather do local (which is you guys).

Thanks
 

Thanks Man! Its hard to keep up with you, Kelley, and Joe and all of the special "goodies" you guys are always working on! But, I am having a blast trying to catch up so I can run with the big dogs!

:tiphat:

However, the wife is pissed off cause it is effecting her shoe and purse fund!

:happydance:

Sorry
 

Sorry, its tooooo perfect. :yum:

yah ive HAD my surfer plate on the backof my car! Im just waiting on my new auqua culture one to arrive for my older Honda now, should come any day. Not one of my 3 cars uses regular florida tags.


DING DONG! Guess what just was dropped at my door!!!

FI EXHAUST!!! :) mmmm Trying to get kelly free Saturday to toss em on. Im feeling BBQ :) muhahaha

Im off Saturday!!!!!!!!

Huh? If I kept all my stock parts but sold you the exhaust.... Anyway, stock exhaust will be coming out soon enough.

Thread bump with of a shot from the other night I think is cool.
http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...ps211e6779.jpg

youve been signed up to install the exhaust then! lolz I gotta get it done this weekend because next we fly to vancouver to get on a cruise to alaska, the week after is z days so I got it just in time. I dont want to have to go to a car shop and just hope they do it right. Im sure they would but its best to go with people who work on Zs all the time!

Rep +1 Looking good... :bowrofl: Damn it, I have to spread the Reps around wont let me give you one.. I'll come back and get ya!

Wow
 

Now that looks like a busy garage! :tiphat: Looks like fun!

CAR show this saturday at Wiregrass mall. it is free and registration is 9-12 with awards around 2 or so. hope to see you there.

Haha, thanks for the kind thoughts!

Anymore, a good Saturday night is when I get some garage time by myself with no interruptions, my tools, a case of beer and some good tunes. Trouble is, by my sixth beer, I lose motivation to work, end up sitting in the car cranking tunes and sending booty-call texts.
