great car man!!! subscribed

Thanks man!

No updates yet since shop has been slow/closed due to the holidays, but new rims and tires should be on wed and I have a meeting to discuss design of the front fenders!

Also Im in the process of acquiring stop tech trophy series brakes for the car :)

nice man those are some tastey brakes bro.... :tup: congrats

Nice looking Z, like what you've done so far

How are you finding the Alcantra on the steering wheel?

I figure in normal driving my hands are normally at 12 or 6 (when being super lazy) but when doing Time Attack I'll be more at 9 and 3 and wondering about wear.

you need to get a set of these! http://www.the370z.com/body-interior...d-fenders.html

I dont like the way the side skirts look on these fenders, thats why I am getting mine custom made.

I have not have any trouble yet, when I am racing I use gloves. and normal driving I usually grab the carbon fiber sections of steering wheel.

:tiphat: Fenders would look nice, just make sure they aren't crap when you get them. Especially if you get fiber glass. Your body shop will take twice as long to rebuild and enforce the fender to get it to fit correctly and not crack. Man hours = Money out of your pocket.

I had a bad experience, so I am cynical in the fender department. Short story they need to be hacked up and re-glassed to get the mounting points were they need to be. Driver side mold is off by a 1/2 inch making all the gaps look stupid. You can guess who the supplier is, and they aren't interested in customer service or replacing there F'ed up product.

Ouch, sorry about your experience. Im fairly confident in my body shop, they have done all the work to my car so far and everything has come out looking better than oem. This shop also gets BMW M race cars shipped to them from california to be worked on there. The shop is also were BulletproofAutomotive sends there biggest project cars.

They are modifying my stock fenders, so their wont be that much fiberglass to them. I stop in there for meetings once a week to go over the fine details and every step by step of the process to make sure we are both on the same page.

Hopefully I will have some pics next weekend of the fenders being worked on, as well as the stop tech trophy brakes on the car.

Dont forget guys I have my Akebono BBK for sale in the private classifieds section for real cheap!

Stoptech Trophy brake kit came in. These things are MONSTERS. The cast look is also sweet. Hopefully will have these swapped on wednesday.

Finally picked up tires for the new rims 275 in front, 315 rear, R888

Decided to get rims custom painted, thought silver finish on PF01s looks too much like stock rims.

Hood was sold, my guy is going to try and use my stock Al hood and replicate the Japan Super GT hoods.

Fenders should be started tomorrow.

Still trying to figure out a game plan for rear wing, want APR wing but hate how it is mounted to hatch, want to try and get either custom mount, or try and acuire the brackets from the sunline racing wing.

Sold my fast intentions exhaust. Amuse R1 y-pipe and Amuse R1 race exhaust (single exit) coming soon

Updated pics to come later this week!



Have a bunch of sweet parts for sale in the classifieds section if some of you dont check those regularly, so hurry up over there and check my postings out, great prices!

looking good! waiting for more info!

it seem like that kind of fender is getting more and more popular as time goes !

Ive seen a few cars going that way (late 2012 / 2013) :tup:

man your car is coming along great!!!! i love the detail you did with the side skirts.... it flows with the fender nicely and doesnt looked chopped off

Thanks man! Yea the car is coming along great. I'm super excited for it to be finished and back home!
