Oh hell yeah! That makes a big difference

Going in to start my install and paint this weekend. Provided I can get to the shop through the winter sludge in my S-04 summer tires. Should be interesting. I will post pics as I can.

I decided to take a more subdued approach - Blending in to factory KAD color, transferring the lights from my oem 2013 bumper over, and doing the lip factory color.
Additionally I am blacking out the center but going matte. My goal is to try to shoot for a cleaner, more oem look.

I had to talk myself out of the red accent stripe. ha ha.

Again that center post chopped and entire center section darkened. Its not a black more of dark gray / charcoal color.

Same color on the sideskirt.

Here you can see they filled the long hole used for what I think is the JDM license plate bracket. I'll be able to drill my own license plate mounts now. On my Amuse bumper before I always just had license plate stuck on with VHB. Kinda want to avoid that here. Also the inside edge has that same dark gray accent but kinda hard to see here.

This Kit is fresh, I love the integrated vented air ducts. The front is way to busy as stated in earlier comments. But overall I think the kit gets two thumbs up.

ZeroZeta 02-19-2015 11:32 AM

Update - My car is still iced in so I haven't been able to get to the shop yet. Friggin winter.

Hope everyone else's mods are going better.

Rob, I think you came into Fizz on Saturday. Lance and I were there along with a few of my friends. Didn't even know that was you until Ming mentioned it.

Debating on posting some recent pics... i'm 99% done. Waiting on some final touches and mounting the wing.

DatsunFTW 02-19-2015 04:42 PM

Why not? :)

Damn sorry I didn't stop to say hi. Since my car is iced in I had to walk from the train station and by the time I was there I was freezing my nuts off and could barely talk. ha ha.

Definitely post some pics! Even if not done it gives the rest of us hope.

One word - PROPER.

Those vertically aligned daytime running lights bug me for some reason. That is the one thing that looks better on Nismo's 2015 bodykit.

mega-z 02-20-2015 08:20 AM

agreed! still a nice kit tho!

Liquid_G 02-24-2015 10:24 AM

So ya some updates from me. Here's where it sits now. They needed to fix a couple things on the driver side along with mounting the wing. Its winter in Chicago so i'm in no real rush to get it home so I haven't bugged them about getting it done. Still debating on whether or not to do a clear bra. Also my brakes are off the car getting powdercoated. The bright red of the ProjectMu brakes really clashes to me.

These are cellphone shots in fluorescent shop lighting.. The blue pearl doesn't even really show up here.

This is fully aired out. Looks like the Varis front bumper is a hair lower than my Amuse bumper. Sideskirts are not as low as Amuse.

http://i.imgur.com/AXsJqzfh.jpg

You can see how they didn't use the little add on piece on the front bumper to make it line up with the wider front fenders. Came out good.

http://i.imgur.com/m8MetkAh.jpg

Ordered the 2015 Nismo headlights from Juan@FontanaNissan. Photoshop of how the headlights should look.

http://i.imgur.com/GtQmk75h.jpg

And finally here's a photoshop the wife did of the new wheels and wing.. damn I can't wait. Ordered the Work CR 2Piece in 20's step lip.. couldnt find a good step lip pic but you get the idea.. Ordered late December, hopefully the LA Dockworker strike doesn't delay them too much. :(

dude i just have to say that your Z looks outstanding :drool: awesome work man!

6MT-Z34 02-24-2015 11:40 AM

that looks sweet!! your calipers look huge!! lol what size are they? and what color are you painting them?

1cleanZ 02-24-2015 12:16 PM

Let me be the first to say, PHOTOS DO NOT DO THIS CAR JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A week ago, I got the liberty to see this build in person, and the colors/bodywork done on this car left me speachless. The attention paid to detail, to the small things like painting the door handles, going into indepth details such as molding the front add-on piece from the Varis Fenders that usually go on to the front bumper, the shop widened the front the keep everything flowing clean and evenly. The colors of the paint with the blue pearl in the clear of the red with the pearl of the red evenly distributed in the clear over the CF pieces.

Suchhhh an epic build, and hats off to Gene for the scheme, and the bodyshop that did the work. Absolutely gorgeous build that I'm just thankful I'm able to see in person with it being right here in the Midwest.

Liquid_G - damn that's a beautiful Z.....

ZeroZeta 02-24-2015 04:19 PM

Gene - The car looks awesome man! Well worth the time and money.

Are those craftsquare mirrors?

Also I never realized your car was that low - did you go for bags?

GaleForce 02-24-2015 05:01 PM

Liquid - that thing looks crazy! Love it.


I wonder how it would look if I got just the front and fenders (maybe skirts too) to go with my Amuse.

The calipers in the last pic are part of the photoshop.. Mine are 6pt Slim 4pt standard calipers from Project Mu. Bought from a member here who used to own an awesome Zele G37 several months ago. Was a custom kit that he worked with PMU on to piece together. They'll be a silver, with the logo in a similar shade of red as the car.

Yes mirrors are Craftsquare TCA-F. Super useful because of the convex glass.

And yes its bagged, I installed Airlift Performance's full digital kit mid last year. Loving it.

Quick update - Looks like I am finally going in to the body shop tomorrow for paint.

Can't wait to get this thing on the car. It has been a 5 month wait since I got it.

On the bright side I was able to use some of the ample bubble wrap it came in to ship some goodies to other members in the "freebies" thread. ha ha.

a355725 03-08-2015 05:23 PM

Wow dude!
 
Liquid_G! Your car is frikkin amazing bro. :0

The attention to the detail is just mind blowing! Really nice work. :bowrofl:
