Just received my parts
 
I have the CF mirror covers, B-Pillars, CF fangs and Black pearl emblems.
I test fitted the fangs and they don't seem to line up correctly. Everything looks good but there's still a little blue showing in the upper parts of the fang. Anyone have this problem? Also, as far as the mirror covers, do they require glue or 3m? They sent me some kind of gasket glue.:confused: I quickly searched the DIY threads, but didn't find anything. Thanks

Hi,
curious about the look of black emblems, please post pics when there installed...from what I've read in postings the cf fangs do line-up but needs alittle work wiggling/pushing.
good luck.

kenchan 10-22-2010 09:57 AM

sophia- regarding the fangs unfortunately this is considered 'normal.'

you would use either e-tape or black paint to cover that area up BEFORE you install the fang.

SophiaZ 10-22-2010 10:17 AM

^ what's e-tape?

phelan 10-22-2010 10:20 AM

electrical tape. the black vinyl-ish tape electricians use.

mirror covers should be doable with some double-sided tape and some pushing to get it on snug. not sure why you have caulking or something. i'd leave that alone and use DS-tape so you can remove it easier later on.

post some pics Sophia. i'd like to see how it looks.

SophiaZ 10-22-2010 10:22 AM

Ok, good...guess I'm heading off to the store
Do you know how to install these daymned mirror covers? They're so hard...and do I use glue or anything?

It's gonna be a few hours...I only did the B-Pillars so far since they were too simple. And I have no clue how to get the front/rear emblems off.I'm going mad :mad::confused:

VaGntlmn 10-22-2010 10:46 AM

For the front/rear emblems, just take some string or fishing line, work it back behind the emblem, and saw it off. It'll take about a minute each.

docaam 10-22-2010 10:57 AM

I installed front fangs and side mirrors with double tape and silicone both, specially for side mirrors silicone(not sure about which glue you are talking about).

I had my fang part painted black from before so have no idea about the fitting looks alright to me just upper left corner was bit loose so applied silicone there as well after first fitment

Looks good. I'm planning on doing the same mods, but on my MB. Still debating on getting the CF rear diffuser though.

Michael@TheZStore 10-22-2010 03:18 PM

Looks great SophiaZ!

Thanks for the business.

SophiaZ 10-22-2010 03:41 PM

^ Thanks :) Just need to save now to get the wheels powder coated. Buying the rear diffuser next week...and just bought CF door handles( thought I already ordered them :shakes head:) and the roof spoiler

wishihadnav 10-22-2010 03:46 PM

slow down girl..your modding too quick!..lol.

kenchan 10-22-2010 03:52 PM

hahaha, i thinks sophia holds the record for stock to modded times. :D

SophiaZ 10-22-2010 04:02 PM

^^ haha Trying to get it done as quick as possible so I can start saving for other things. There's only a few other things I need and I'll be done ( CF hood and roof overlay and maybe some type of front and rear add-ons):tup:

chuckd05 10-22-2010 04:17 PM

emblems look great, you just made me justify spending the 80 bucks on each, going to order them tonight...

doubleG370Z 10-22-2010 04:25 PM

haha, no..not rich! My money is dwindling away :( Spending while it's here. One of my dogs needs a $1800 surgery in the next few months so I'm playing with the extra money I have for now. It's not all about me, but seeing my baby in pain makes me sad so I have to buy myself stuff to ease the pain, if that makes any sense....but my dog's life means more to me than the Z..sorry, but it's true
