TjLaZer's Monterey Blue Z

tjlazer · 03-23-2011, 03:21 PM

Rear Nismo bumper was ordered and is in, just have to go pick it up and get it to the autobody shop to get painted! Hope to get it all installed soon.

Hopefully I can get the front fascia on this weekend, just in time for Golden Gardens 2011.

nice progress bro, I got the vinyl letters from mike as well but still thinking about putting them on or not.

GZ3 · 03-23-2011, 04:46 PM

this is looking really good

A whole car shot with the NISMO letters in vinyl in hi-res.

Red__Zed · 03-23-2011, 06:38 PM

nice Z!

Man that is nice! I've got to get a set for my Nismo wheels. Got any contact info for Mike's vinyl cutouts?

Thanks. I didn't realize you meant Mike the powdercoater.

Front fascia installed. Was not too bad. The lower spash shield can easily be used, you only have to drill 4 holes into the Nismo diffuser so it can attach to the OEM splash shield, and two more screws line up holding it in place. There are two that are not used but no big deal.

The blue nismo is looking sweet. The front bumper looks great!

2theextreme · 03-24-2011, 10:31 PM

Very nice!

Very nice TJ! Every time I look at your thread you make me spend more money on my car. I've got to stop checking out your mods.

By the way here are a couple of pictures of a 370Z from the Triangle Z Club Show last October. The car started out as a base 370Z then the owner added the full Nismo body kit, Volk wheels and a Stillen supercharger. It was the first time I had seen the full Nismo body kit on a Monterey Blue 370Z. If you look closely you can see that when they were getting ready for show they put the rear wheels on the front and the front wheels on the back. That's why the stance looks weird.

Looks great, I think I read in another thread that youre staying with the sport spoiler? Any other plans for the body?

tjlazer · 03-26-2011, 06:38 PM

Yeah staying with the sport spoiler, might go with a Mines add on painted blue!
