M.Bonanni's 370Z Project "Born Again"

M.Bonanni

Fresh coat of wax and back to being riced out with all of the sponsor stickers....









Found this fitting seeing as I am going to a Hellaflush meet this weekend.


The florescent yellow/black color scheme is designed to match the Berk Technology Time Attack 135i's look for 2010 since my 370Z will be used as the official Berk Technology demo car.

After looking at the photos, what needs to happen next, looks wise, is to get rid of all of the bright red on the car. The JDM fog light will be replaced with the stock "smoked" piece, the tail lights and third brake light will get smoked, and the tow hook will go black or florescent yellow.

Tomorrow its off to Bakersfield for a quick overnight stay then onto Buttonwillow Raceway Sunday morning for the Hellaflush 3.5 Car Show, Team Drift Championship Drift Event, and Berk Technology Charity Ride-A-Long program! More pics from that event next week and as always, I will be updating my Twitter live from the event with news and updates about how our fundraiser is going and more.

Just installed the Blue Batmobile smoked third brake light overlay. Tried to install the tail light overlays, but apparently they are way beyond my skill level for that type of thing so those are ruined lol. Also swapped the JDM fog light for the stock piece. Looks much better with less bright red in the back. Pics next week after Hellaflush 3.5.

The spacers in the rear make a big difference. Looks great!

Q: Are you rubbing in the front when turning and hitting a bump??

M.Bonanni

It was probably more the alignment settings than the spacer. Went from -2.5 degrees out back to -1 degree.

Nope.

Mike B. I thought I remember a post you made about the passwordjdm engine covers that you were working with them on.. did that ever happen?

You should get the rear valence overlay from Blue Batmobile, blacking out that lower part of the rear bumper would look great with the black wing!

Mike, let me know if you ever want to get rid of those sideskirt add-ons. I know the abuse they have seen

JB-370z

I like them I dont know why you would want to get rid of them...They look awsome, I like how they keep the beautiful lines of the stock Z. Very classy in my book.

I take that back, after a long trip out of state, there are some instances where the fronts rubbed ever so slightly.

The engine cover itseslf never happened, but the radiator cooling panel and battery/brake fluid covers did.

Yeah that will get done eventually, but I am going to go with paint probably.

They will stay on the car for a while most likely unless I can somehow nail down a body kit sponsor. They don't show any signs of abuse anyway.

Damn that sucks. Those other pieces look awesome, a matching engine cover would be pretty sick.

Just paint the engine cover.

Yeah, unfortunately once DDM went out of business and I couldn't sell their products for them, they were no longer interested in using my car for development purposes.
