Dre_d85's 370z

Dre_d85 · 11-26-2012, 12:12 PM

This is how it started...:

Got my new 2012 370z Base Model Z (gunmetal) a couple of months ago...

First thing I bought for it was the Stillen Front Lip:

After that I heard about plasti dip so decided to change the look a bit...

Tail light edges and license plate area:

Front Lights:

Also wrapped the roof with black glossy wrap:

Got 5% tints all around:

Got the AAM Ti Tip Short Tails for now (just to have some sound), since I will be buying the FI Non res in April:

(it does sound amazing!!!)

Got my new wheels and tires:
Avante Garde M310
19x9.5 - 255/35/19
19x11 - 305/30/19

As you can tell from the pictures - the front lip is not there anymore... it was stolen a couple of weeks ago -____-

Currently waiting on my coilovers... to be continued...

Raise the coils a bit.. I'd say .5-.75. That way you will scrape less and you can protect the $300-500 for the new lip. You aren't even as low as I have seen people go..

I think coil=scrape(everytime)... springs=scrape(often) ... stock=scrape(rare)

But thats the point isnt it? Be scrapinz wheeen wee riddinn out doe? haha

Looks good, like what you did around the headlights with the plasti dip!

I went insanley low with my coils the first few days and realized quickly that while it looked sick it was jus not practical. So i raised it and still love the look. Nice work...keep it up! And who in the world steals a lip?! So stupid.
