Carbon Fiber Front Fang, B Pillars, Side Mirrors (stage 1) installed! (AK370Z)

370Z JT · 07-06-2010, 01:52 AM

Very tastefully done... I need to get me some CF mirror covers.

HKYStormFront · 07-06-2010, 01:52 AM

i hear ya on the mod budget, black yoko advans (like the silver ones on Z1's 370) would look killer too. lots of good choices out there, as much as i like the stock sport wheels, i'd put wheels on next if it were me...

I don't know how I could have missed this?
AK, the cf parts, made the Z look a lot cleaner, and will you also be doing the rear valence, and the rear spoiler?
Very Nice Improvements Ak.

TreeSemdyZee · 07-06-2010, 01:57 AM

Looks good AK. I've been thinking about doing one or all of these on mine, but I can't decide how it would look on Brilliant Silver.

Thanks. I'm def doing the rear diffuser. As for rear spoiler, I think Mines rear lip looks great! Only if it was cheaper

!! I may have to wait a little for the rear lip.

Thanks. I think Triple's just painted his front fang. You can kinda get an idea how it'll look (cf will look a little glossy, that's all)

Me? I do nothing of the sort.....ok, well, maybe I do. I've been better about not getting much since I stretched my budget to "OVER THE LIMIT NOW YOU'RE FARKED, S0N!" status!

Looks really good!

Hey, now I gotta put my CF B Pillars on and get some CF mirror covers, too!

Stage 1, eh? What's Stage 2? Any hints?

@ your budget status!

Thanks.

Stage 2 is actually less desirable in my opinion (and it's cheaper). It doesn't cover all the way (only covers painted part) . It leaves the plastic edge open.

I want rear diffuser meow!

EVO-R finally designed a new one......I think they got the hint after 6 different people ran into the same problem and all the photos looked identical......it fit great near the fog light area but as it stretched down and around the rest of the bumper it started to appear you could see the original color of the bumper. It does look pretty sweet!

Oh...and Virginia hates my headlights and rear fog light!

Hey ak if u want an idea on what an oem style cf hood looks like. Check my build thread. Fitment is perfect. Also there is a group buy for mines rear lip and I think we need a couple more people lol.

kenchan · 07-06-2010, 10:58 AM

AK- looking great!

CrownR426 · 07-06-2010, 01:24 PM

What's next gangsta?!

kenchan · 07-06-2010, 01:55 PM

i think either the evo-r revised rear diffuser or fujimura rear diffuser(?)

209Z · 07-06-2010, 03:01 PM

i say revised evo r =]

kenchan · 07-06-2010, 03:13 PM

yah, i suppose if the fitment is subpar (gap), you can get those 3M CF sheets, make a 7mm width stripe and run it along the butting end of the diffuser to close up the gap with the bumper.

then it would look very clean and the curvature will visibly fool 99% of the people who see the diffuser as it will just appear like difference in light reflection. they wont know there is vinyl there...other than you. hahaha.

Hey AK,

Nice work. How does the fang overlay look up near the top of the fangs. In one pic, it looks like some blue paint is still visible. Is this an issue at all, or not noticeable?
