TjLaZer's Monterey Blue Z

tjlazer

Well at the time the Nismo just came out and was like 40K, and when I bought in Jan 2010 I did actually try to find one and there weren't any in my part of the country. And the ones I did find out of state they wanted like 36K+. I also wanted blue and was just not going to be painting a brand new car... When I found this one it was a year old and still on the lot new, so I got it at below invoice. I like to do mods slowly so I figure I would do it piece by piece. It's probably more $ in the end, but it's funner this way!

Looks great cuz, you definitely inspired me on my Z purchase. Still contemplating which route to go with mine. Torn between going the Nismo route, or possibly the Stillen kit. Definitely going with urethane opposed to fiberglass. Gary said I have Z envy.. Anyhow looks great we'll have to get out on a cruise once the weather gets better, and work permits.

Hey TJ did you have to buy the diffuser for the bumper to properly install it? Its like $450 right? Or does the lower splash shield from a base line up? Also did you have to buy the fender liners to match the gap in the fender up? Thanks!

Yeah you need the lower diffuser and it was around $350. The nice thing about this piece is you can replace it if you ever scrape or damage it. Better than removing the whole bumper to respray it.

Nope, optional. Though you need the "protectors"
