--Current Car Status--

++++++++++++

Ok heres what I got so far:

Current Mods:

-Custom Cherry red paint
-SSR Type F rims
-Maxxis MA-Z1 Tires
-Seibon GTR Style Carbon Fiber Hood
-Seibon Carbon Fiber kit
-Tanabe Suspension
-K&N Typhoon Dual Intake Kit
-Custom Stainless Exhaust
-Clarion VX400 Touch Screen

The car was Sponsored by NOS Energy and was painted to match the new NOS Energy loaded cherry can.

The modifications were selected and installed by Chris Forsburg (Formula D champ)

----> this guy

The car was won by a guy in SC, he entered a contest and won the car from NOS energy. He turned around and sold it to me.

Since those pictures were taken I have removed the front CF lip. The guys who delivered it smashed it a bit and with the car lowered its just too darn low for comfortable driving (in and out of parking lots).

I also removed most of the decals from the car. I didnt like the way it made me feel like Brian Spilner. I think it looks a bit more "grown up" now.

heres a few pics and a quick walk around I did with my cell phone.

Color and car are awesome!

Color is awesome.

Gold rims with that color is awesome.

Did I mention that the color is effin awesome!?!... should totally be a factory color for the Z!

Falcor · 10-06-2010, 09:54 PM

I agree I am incredibly happy with the color. I like how it almost looks like a factory color. Most non-Z people cant tell its custom.

Boost_lee · 10-07-2010, 01:05 AM

Great scheme you have going there. Ever consider blackhousing the headlights?

Falcor · 10-07-2010, 08:43 AM

Yeah, and the tails to be smoked. I'm waiting until I get my sound system in. I've got my sub jl 10w7 but I dont have an amp, speakers or box yet. I'm having the most trouble on deciding what to do about a box. With such limited trunk space even the zenclosure box looks big.

HKYStormFront · 10-07-2010, 08:54 AM

the next one is planned around cars and coffee in north charlotte nov 6th. i believe we are talking about cruising up to price park on the BRP for a cookout then pics at the overlooks afterwords. it would be great if you could join us, i'd love to get a few shots of the ride, definitely unique!

ClemsonWill · 10-07-2010, 08:54 AM

Very nice. Looks so much better without the stickers!

Thanks! what do you think about the remaining stickers? Personally I like the extra color down on the skirt but I'm curious to find out what others think.

HKYStormFront · 10-07-2010, 09:07 AM

there's nothing wrong with a "grocery list", i agree with will tho, looks better without the hood stickers.

ThoriumHotdog · 10-07-2010, 01:36 PM

I think it does look better without the yellow stripe. Good decision on removing them.
