I'm doing braided PS lines because the stock lines make no since and get in the way of everything I'm trying to do in that area! Z is looking great, I'm loving the vents, easy way to get rid of temps in the engine bay! Good sh*t!!

But below you will see the Shine Auto Spec S kit, Stillen Canards, and the super sexy Carbon Signal Hood Vents that I had molded in. Boy they look killer. I bought the Shine kit in FRP and I plasti dipped it.

I went this route being I track my car a bit and I felt this was a great alternative than expensive paint that would get tore up my first day out which is coming soon enough. I can easily repair or redo on the fly with plasti dipped. Which has already shown me from three track days that it's very durable.

I also added the Stillen front canards for some front downforce for some extra bit threw the turns. Especially any off camber turns. As far as the rear I'm not sure what I'm going to add back there. I've been holding out for something that really grabs my attention.

Then finally the Carbon Signal Hood Vents. I'm so glad I got these. They are sharp as hell. Many props to the guys at AutoGlo. I know it had to be a pain to do but I'm happy to sport this rare piece. It sets it off in a good aggressive way. So hope you like and enjoy.

Man that looks sharp as sheit. Great job !

As some of you may have read I landed another small sponsor from APR Performance. So I ended up with getting there GT3 style mirrors, splitter rods, gurney flap, and risers.

I also went ahead and ordered the rear splats from Shine auto. I really needed something on the back for now. I was wanting to hold out for something else but I dont see anything that's really coming. But I am talking to Forged about a custom rear diffuser.

APR Splitter Rods. Already gave these to Mike to have powder coated. I decided to mount these on the fangs. I feel it fits there best for looks and balance for bracing on my lip for those high speed track runs.

APR Gurney Flap. "The Gurney flap (a.k.a. wickerbill) is an aerodynamic device that was originally pioneered and developed in the 1970s by a racing driver named Dan Gurney. Unbeknownst to his competition, this device was used to increase downforce while minimizing increase in drag. He found that not only did this device increase the lift/drag (L/D) ratios, it also increased the stalling angles (so he could operate the airfoils at greater pitch angles). It took a few years for everyone else to catch on to its purpose, and now, the Gurney flap (or similar device) can be seen in race cars and even airplanes all over the world.""

APR 2.5'' Riser for mounting my APR GTC 200 wing taller. I'm really glad I went with these. They now make my wing even with the roof line getting where it should be for fresh clean air for the best downforce possible. I normally didn't actually feel the downforce come on until about 80mph+, now I feel it coming on at about 65mph. The APR GTC 300 wing is the best functional wing for the 370Z if you want maximum downforce for track use. But I wanted something more conservative looking with the funtion of a wing for track use. I feel the GTC 200 with risers serves this purpose well.

APR GT3 Mirrors. I truley love the looks of these mirrors. I've owned them before on my 350. Small, slick, light weight, (reduced about 4lbs), and functional. These mirrors reduce drag while looking good. They also let you view a lot more. At the smae time might not be for everyone. You can view cars coming and all but not as clear as stock mirrors such as identifying actually make of cars approaching. You just know there there. These are universal mirrors so I had to cut a sheet of CF (from APR also) to mount in place of the stock mirror mount.

Wow, Mr. Spohn, That Z looks serious.

What are those strange hieroglyphics on your hatch lid?!?!?!?

SPOHN · 05-07-2012, 11:20 AM

Those are track layouts. The last one I haven't been to yet but will be soon enough. Just went ahead and got it.

Alchemy · 05-07-2012, 11:26 AM

Looking great SPOHN. Love the track stickers. Those mirrors are

I know you got a deal but do you know what they retail for??? I have been wanting some mirrors for awhile.

MSRP from APR is $210. You can score them for about $175-$185 range I believe from one of there vendors. Plus for our cars being these are universal you will most likely need the 12''x12'' sheet of carbon fiber. About another $40. Also the mirror itself has a blue hue to it. I like that also.

Track decals came from http://www.trackdecal.com/. Please tell them I sent you. There located in GA. Local for myself
