I have the carbon fiber fang cover, upper trim piece, and B pillars from the Z store installed and will be posting a picture update later tonight probably around 3am because of work. I've also installed the black nismo shift knob and GTR start button but didn't take any interior shots today while I was out. Loving the look and feel of the interior with these additions. And last but not least I've also just aquired a 40th anniversary Z car cover, thanks to forum member cowzrul for the sale.

The quality of the cover is amazing, nicer than the softest bed sheets money can buy I'd say and took me about 30 seconds to cover the car up so I will more than likely be using it everyday as I park in a parking garage.

So tired I could only edit 3 pictures.

Here is a shot from the last photo shoot before installing any carbon fiber.



First shot with carbon fiber put on the car. The saturation was brought down just a little for more subtle colors, as I didn't want to distract from the edgy curves in this photo. cant wait for painted headlights!



And for the last photo in this series, I decided to change the colors up a little bit ("little bit"). This shot shows everything that I've done to the car thus far exterior wise.
5% Rear Windshield Tint
5% Rear Quarter Window Tint
Front side windows: 20% tint layered on top of previously 35% tint, it looks pretty close to 5%
5% Eyebrow tint
Blacked out Nissan Emblems
Blacked out Side Blinkers
Blacked out Door Handles
Gloss Black 3M Vinyl Wrapped Roof
Carbon Fiber Fang Cover
Carbon Fiber Upper Trim
Carbon Fiber B Pillars
..............And cant forget those 370Z Decal Stickers!


Enjoy

PICTURE UPDATE!

The first shot in this series, shot in front of an old shut down gas station, with my new additions of the AeroJacket (Sunline, Shine Auto) side skirts and rear add ons. I installed it myself and will also be installing the front lip this weekend.


Second shot at the same location in front of the pumps, I added some heavy vignetting on this one. I'm loving the look of the kit so far, can't wait to put on the front lip even though it looks good as is in my opinion because the carbon fiber I've already installed on the front compliments the sides and rear pieces well.


In this series of shots I'm really trying to diversify the way I edit the photos as not to give the same look between each shot. A little something for all you photo junkies


Last shot.... Hope you guys enjoyyyyyyyy!

The GTR Button was pretty simple but, I like most people removed the wrong screws at first.... it's kind of deceiving. It actually took longer for me to remove the shift knob than install the button.

The side skirts were way easier than people made it out to be. I talked to a lot of people (excluding most of our Z locals telling me to do it myself) and they said take it to a shop for sure for "fitment Issues" and what not, but after being quoted everything from $250-$750 just for a damn 2 hour install I said forget that and decided to tackle it myself. So I inlisted the help of my girlfriends dad and some of his tools/garage space seeming as I only have a busy parking garage to work in lol.......

OK to the point!
the skirts were as easy as 1,2,3. I'd say 20 minutes a skirt if I had to do it again. Start off by turning your front wheels all the way to left if working on the left skirt, and to the right when taking off the right, to give you working space in the front fender well so you don't have to jack the whole car up and remove all wheels. Next jack up the rear end ( I used the jack supplied in the trunk) and remove the rear tire on the side your working on. After that you can start unscrewing the 4 screws (phillips) in the front fender well attached to the front end of the skirt and the 2 in the rear fender well holding the back end of the skirt.

Make sure to save everything from removal as the replacement side skirts will use your existing screws and bolts... at least most kits do not supply them. I think out of the 4 screws in the front 2 may just be holding the splash guards in place but I have to look at the photos I took to be sure, and if you don't have splash guards then thats just one less thing to worry about. After you get all the phillips head screws (black in color) out, you get underneath the skirt and remove 6 ( 8 at most, I forget) 10mm bolts (silver in color) all along the bottom of the side skirt at which time everything will be removed externally and the skirt should feel loose when tugged but there are still plastic "snap clips" holding the skirt in place.

This is were I got a little nervous but everything ended up a lot easier than expected. Open your door for work space. You should have a little wiggle room at the back side of the skirt and you'll need to pull it away from the car a little to locate the first clip.

You will need to use a pry tool or something equivalent and wrap it with duct tape (or any tape) as to not scratch the skirt or the body and, from the back of the car forward start prying as close to the clips as possible and they just pop right out. after the first few you will have the hang of it but as you get towards the front you have less room to work because the door gets in your way but you should have it removed in about 2 minutes or less and you can leverage the skirt in one hand while prying with the other so there won't be any added stress on the skirt. After doing the first one with some help I had the second one off by myself easily.

However when it came time to install my new side skirts the jack ended up being in the way so we had to use a second jack in a different spot, then remove the first one to install the skirt. So watch your placement on the jack or you may end up having to put your wheel back on, lower the car, reposition the jack, lift car, remove wheel, then install the skirt.... but we had a second jack so I was able to avoid the hassle, plus the one that's provided in our cars is a little sketchy!

Chapter 2

haha just kidding hope all that helped!
