1 Attachment(s)
lol....alright guys, I've been looking a while and have all the performance mods that I want, however, I am now looking to make her no longer a sleeper! Im really into Carbon Fiber. I've been looking around at Carbon Fiber Hoods, Spoilers, and hopefully side mirrors (don't want covers, but I dont think they make side mirrors in cf yet). A few different ones look great on the Seibon and VIS websites, but very few are actually installed. Does anyone have any good pics of their Carbon Fiber installed? Looking for different looks! Thx for the help guys

---btw to explain the title, Im looking to sell the car bc of the new addition to the family, but Im really on the edge of keeping her...this would put me over the edge if I could get excited about makin her look all purty ;) haha

O btw....just so no on can say "worthless w/ no pics" here is a pic of her after a bath....

I dunno man. She is real purdy the way she sits. And If that's the car that I think it is, I have driven it and she runs strong. I like what you have done with the front. :tup:

Keep it!!

haha good eye my friend ;) yep that's Brazil Bro's own. Can't believe the timing of everything :(

Im trying to keep it my friend. The car is unbelievable! We shall see. This is my first kid and I've heard they aren't as expensive as I'm making it out to be. But i do want to spoil the crap out of him/her. lol

I think a nice lip, side skirts and wheels would really change the way the car looks while retaining the clean lines of the factory body and it would not look so stock. I love the INGS+1 and Mine's lip with EVO-R side skirts, the wheels are completely up to your taste.

I MUST have that CF headlight housing. Gorgeous. We will be in touch soon! I need to get dif wheels before CF will look good on this z, but if I keep the car, you will be one of my first contacts.

Seibon mirrors are full replacement mirrors ;) I have them and they are nice! as far as parts go we offer a bunch of nice kits, fenders, wheels and wings ;)

bullitt5897 12-20-2011 11:36 PM

idk man....the prob w the front lips is every one I've seen has a huge ding from a damn rock chip. Looks great at first, but it seems like down the road those cf front lips just get beat up too much. Im looking to stick w hood, spoiler, side mirror for now.....o and the newly found headlight housing:happydance:

Something like this:

Varis hood, Mine's front lip, & Central 20 side skirts

AbFlug rear bumper & Mine's rear spoiler add-on

I really like how the rims tuck on the blue Z. Nice choice of parts too.

Headlight housing mod
 
Can someone recommend a good installer for painting the headlight housing? It seems that MR Works is no longer accepting PM's and I haven't been able to find much on anyone else who does this. Can a local body shop do it?
Thanks!

I really love that kit and hood! The back bumper not so much... :/ IDK why just not my taste. Thx for the pics tho! It really does look like a beauty.

Im looking for more of a subtle look. I like the ground effects on the stock z and its already lowered w the suspension kit so it looks really clean. Im looking to add a cf hood, side mirrors, door handles, and spoiler! Also found some DEFI gauges that are GORGEOUS! All this talk has really helped and gotten me exciteda bout the z. I think I may be keeping, at least I'm going to do everything I can too. Thx again guys ;)

Any other good looks, let me know! I love seeing these beautiful cars

I understand what ya mean with the rear bumper. Seeing it in person makes it look completely different then what you see in the photos. I decided on the rear bumper months ago and almost decided against it but hung in there (took 8 months to receive it).

ya i figured out why I thought that at first! I noticed it comes out farther than a stock bumper. The way it drastically comes back the the trunk is what threw me off. Im sure it looks better in person bc instead of a specific angle that the camera makes you look at, you see the entire car as a whole. Either way its a work of art. ;) Mine is still a blank canvas....well sorta lol
