Ok, let’s see what else we can update here!

On the interior side:






Had the A Pillars recovered in Alcantara and stitched to match the rest of the trim in the car that was redone.

Also, since my Nismo CF shift knob was showing some pretty brutal wear, I switched to the Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi one. Amazing feel in the hand!



Performance:

No photos, but I installed the latest generation RJM clutch pedal. I figured since I’d just done the new clutch and flywheel why not try to fix that brutal engagement of the stock pedal. So far I have been fairly impressed! Seems like it takes a while to get it dialled in to what’s ‘comfortable’, but once you do, money.

Exterior:

Yes, I’ve made some exterior changes to the car at last. I was torn for a long time, as I think the 370 looks incredible in stock form, and I always got lots of compliments on how clean it was just with wheels, tint and lowered. But, I’d had a vision for it for some time, and figured I may as well see how it turned out.

First up, I got the AMS GT style full carbon hood from Fly 1 Motorsports. It was never my intent to leave it fully carbon, initially I was going to paint it to match and just leave the vents carbon. However it was suggested to me that I try Xpel Stealth on the hood to give it a dry CF look, with Xpel Ultimate over the vents. I love it, I think it turned out great!




As you can see from the second photo, I also got the Fly 1 CF side blades. I got the slightly shorter versions that allow you to retain the front splash guards too. I like how they look, and they actually help keep some of the rocks from destroying the sides of the car with the front tires so wide.

Next up, I got the EVO-R 3 piece front lip, with the center section in CF. I had the sides painted colour matched to the car.



Last two things, but not least.
The Fly1 full carbon rear diffuser annnnnnd the Ings +1 Z Power GT Wing with low mounts.



After all that, I finished just in time to go to a car show and won best in show G/Z!


Professional photoshoot coming soon! (Of the car)
