Thanks guys! I am doing just that Dallaz, car will be better than before!

awesome stuff man...

you should keep the old bumper and put latches so you won't be wrecking good bumpers over and overs. So instead on drift day you swap out your bumpers to busted ones to save face.

my thoughts exactly, except for the latches thing. Front bumper is pretty easy to take off already imo. I'm keeping my eyes open for an extra PW bumper ;)

2 10 bolts and some pushlocks, then....... BOOOOOM, bumper off! RaceKar!

The head lights look bada**. I doubt anybody would actually know if it really real CF, not unless they are looking & drooling over it for over 10-15 mins.

haha exactly!

I think this is the only way people do cf headlights. I cant imagine someone actually making a mold of the plastic chrome piece although I probably could make some bank if I were to do that! haha

Heres an update from this weekend, put the headlights on and also wrapped the A-Pillar and side mirrors with some extra 3m I had. What do you think, too much??

I do not know if you got this far already since your last post, but the headlights will help fix that high spot of the fenders.

Great thread!

Digging the A pillars - still debating on doing mine

Cool I had a feeling it would but wasnt sure since I forgot how I took them apart lol. Thanks for the confirmation!

Thanks, the a pillars came out great, I will keep those like this until I can afford the Seibon ones. Just paying $600 for those sounds rediculous. Im not happy with the mirrors though so I might take the 3m off of those. You have to cut those perfect or the white will show which some does and its not buckling at the edges from all the stretching.

Love the headlights!! When are you getting your fenders from baker ?

Good question, I wish it was today so I can put them on for tomorrows meet but who knows. Everyone says they are waiting on Baker to do their stuff to so I have to wait in line :/

True but the body shop is separate!

yeah but Mike has his bumper at the body shop getting repainted.

oh ok any luck for today?

I sent an email to Manny but no response. Also found out from Facebook that one of the strictly G guys spun out and hit a wall last month and his car is going in today for paint. Im sure they have been busy fixing that car.

Took a picture of my car last night from the front. It looks mean :D

Man, that is sharp. LOVE the fenders!!!

The top of shot your car looks like a GTR at first glance. I really like how you did the A pillar black. Nice shots of your car

Thanks Pat!

Yeah, its now a GTR wannabe. I really love the Top Secret GTR so that is my inspiration. About the shots, thanks! I really wish I had used another lens for the profile to get me more bokeh in the background. I also could have waited for the sun to come out a bit more like the one below it to really bring out the pearl. Miss opporitunity but I still like how it came out, oh well next time.

Nice turnaround!:tup:

:yum:

Some more pics I took recently. What do you think??

This past Sunday I left Houston at about 3am to drift to Texas Motor Speedway to enter Lonestar Drift. I planned on the trip taking about 5 hours so I can get there at 8 for the drivers meeting but for some reason I got there an hour early and had time to eat some breakfast. Having never been there I was amazed at how big this place was. The stadium was humongous!! I guess I didnt learn from the last event that the drivers meeting doesnt start at 8 like they say it would so it seems like I got up early for nothing. Drivers meeting began about about 10 and Matt Powers was also there as a guest judge. They went over the confusing instructions of how to enter the track, where to drift and where to line up. This was no parking lot with cones that I was used to, this was a real track that is used for XDC drift events. I decided to sit out at first just to watch the others before i went out there. Here in the stands is where you get to hear the crowd act like ******** criticizing every bad driver as if they are drift kings themselves. Not really encouraging to get out there. One of my friends, Bryan, gave it a go in his white 350Z. As he attempted to drift around the first S turn he went off course a bit slamming the side of his rear wheel into a piece of track making it look like he broke his wheel and deploying his airbags. Yup I was now regretting this decision to enter this event. Another thing I regretted was not having time to take off my Top Secret carbon parts before leaving and not bringing any tools to do so. I then wasted about 30 minutes trying to talk myself out of this until I finally just said enough thinking about it, let get out there. Found someone with tools and took off my kit then went for it.

Driving out there was not as bad as I thought. I did go off course a few times but I was cautious enough to avoid the parts that deploy airbags. This track was really fun! Of course I had to not think about the haters out there and just attempt to have fun. My wife went along with me so we used this time as a mini vacation away from the kids. Plus she didn't get to ride along at the last event. Jenny lent me her GoPro so I was able to grab some videos of some of the runs. This really helped as I get to see all my mistakes to learn from for next time. Here is the video I took, enjoy my screw ups lol!

awesome vid man!!!! :D i wish i had the balls to drift man but im to scared of swiping the wall here or cones with my z....

Reps for going for it VDC, i say F off to all the shit talkers. You don't see them out there in a 35k+ car.

EXACTLY its even worse when they drive hondas and tease drifters.... :roflpuke2: so like kaien said F them... btw kaien ill get you that write up... asap

:happydance:

Thanks guys, cant wait till the next event to correct my mistakes. Btw on the way back, made it from downtown Dallas to downtown Houston in 3 hrs lol. Was doing 100-120 the whole way :D Was in a hurry to get back since I had been in a car for 16hrs.
