I posted my rims a few months back so I figured I would keep it rolling and show the work getting done to my car right now.

-Heres the run down:
-Chargespeed V2 front bumper and side skirts
-Do luck Replica rear(fitment was sooooo bad) the shop cut the bottom half of the do luck, cut the top half of the stock and molding them together.
-Nismo V2 Replica spoiler(AWFULE fitment again. They added extra layers of fiber glass to the base of the spoiler and molded it to the car so its permently on there.)
-removed antenna and windshield wiper(rear)
-roof and side mirrors painted black
-door handles painted body color
-rear fenders pulled out 1" on each side and remolded and shaped.
-JDM tail lights
-Stoptech stage 2 brake kit(fit stock calipers)
-All this is being done by Exotic Concepts

Dude... I would put on some stock wheels if you are going to let a body shop work on your car when you have those amazing wheels on... what if they fvck up the annodizing on the volks? You would be pissed man...

eh, its to late for that..I dont have any stock rims anyways, sold them both. I known the owner for quite some time, if he f*cked them up he would pay me for the fixes or replacement. I appreciate the concern though, I got that a few times on the 350 forums.

Very nice, keep us posted bro!

In for some more pictures and updates.

Simply amazing!

good work.......... looks awesome

thanks for the kind words guys...Im blown away by the work these guys are doing on my car.

whats the rim specs and tire specs

I should mention, this car is my DD and will be after all this is done, hence the modest camber settings.

-front: 19/9.5 +8(with 20mm spacer added) 265/35 -2 camber
-Rear: 19/10.5 +3 (with 20mm spacer added) 295/30 -2 camber

- I wanted the best of both worlds, a wide and aggressive stance with safety to boot. A lot of negative camber throws safety driving in rain right out the winda.
-I'll probably go to 305's in the rear but I want to be sure I stay at -2 to 0 camber. I mean I would set it to -3.5 camber, stick 315's on there and slap some 30mm spacers on the rear but with my previous setup I had to drive 50mph in the rain just to feel safe...FL, I love the rain.

Cars in pieces preping for paint. Here ya be

the rear should look nice!

Just wondering what the cost for all of this????

Looking good!

I know when I see people doing big mods to their car on forums Im curious of cost so I'll give a vague description.

Over $10k for Kit, fender flaring, integrating the rear spoiler into the hatch. the custom work done to the rear bumper, two rear tires, TA stripe on my rims, and whole car painted.

So here I was all anxious for the painting and I totally forgot they would have to fit the rear bumper to the newly flared fenders. Anyways I went in tonight and took a look. They cut the sides of the rear bumper and extended the width of the do-luck rear right at 3 inches on each side. Needless to say I was pretty siked to see the a$$ of my car is gonna be 6" wider.

They are essentially connecting the cut piece and the bumper with layers of fiber glass, currently with screws just to hold it in place as well as a piece of, what seemed to be 6x12 piece of wax as well to hold it in place.

Anyways here are a few pics of it, I did my best to capture how wide it will be but there was a supra in my way, damn it!.

I have to give credit where credit is due...this is no longer a do luck bumper, these guys are putting so much work into it its a custom bumper in my eyes.

Looks crazy, can't wait to see the completed project..

Here are a few update pics as of 2 days ago, friday. The shop still has a couple more steps before they consider the rear ready to be primed.Oh and those are the 295s on the rear.

dang almost like a story. im waiting for more and more now. cant wait!!!

UPDATE! Whole car is primed and ready for painting WOOT!..They are doing paint tomorrow. IF they stay on track it will be wet sanded and polished thursday, taken to the shop on friday for the toe rod install and alignment as well as the gold TA stripe on the rims....OH MAN!...almost there.

edit: forgot to mention, like some of you know Im sticking with the PPW paint. The guys at the shop went through some paint cards and found the paint code that takes the most of the yellow tint out of the pearl as possible. This Iam happy about, still get the pearl look but closer to a white white

what's with the valence, you can see the mufflers too clearly, unless you get angled mufflers instead of those stacked would look super cool !!


the project looks good so far

the two little things sticking down in the center of the rear bumper, there will be a piece that fits right into that so you wont really see the but the tips. Just google 350z do luck kit, youll see what I mean.

Caught the shop in the middle of the day and took some pics. They finished painting all the black parts, they still need to wet sand and polish them though. As for the car, well you can look at the pics. They sounded pretty confident saying the car will be completely painted, wet sanded, and polished by tomorrow evening. More pics to come tomorrow...unless the car is together then I will wait and do some decent photos most likely.
