The Life and Times of Riptide67's 370Z

Riptide67 · 03-29-2014, 09:24 PM

FINALLY!!!!!!

Shipping confirmation was received last night and all that carbon fiber will be here this week!

Riptide67 · 04-09-2014, 10:45 PM

After a shipping nightmare, I've received part of the CF Amuse kit. The rear and that *** of fiber is glorious. I should have the front and sides by tomorrow or Friday. Big thanks to Rich at Aerojacket for helping to straighten it all out.

Another big shout out to Lohit at Fly1 Motorsports. I told him I was in a bit of a time crunch and really wanted to make sure I could get their aluminum splitter/skid plate before the Amuse kit goes on. It will be here tomorrow!

Also took part in the awesome GB NST has going on their short shifter kits. I've been in the market for one, but the pricing is a bit outrageous. I've never had one on any of my cars and I hope it turns out to be a great purchase. Our throw isn't super long, but shortening it up even more can only lead to more awesome.

Finally received everything today! Hope to have it all installed within the next week!

Cleaned and detailed the interior today.

Tomorrow:
Paint engine shroud
Install 6k reverse LEDs
Clay, cut, polish, buff, wax, and buff!

Congrats Mate!

Can not wait for the results. Good luck!

Riptide67 · 04-12-2014, 12:12 PM

Results coming later this week! I'm dropping the car off Monday morning for the installation.

Riptide67 · 04-14-2014, 12:14 PM

Taking the car and dropping her off in an hour. In the mean time enjoy this lovely teaser shot from a Seattle Photo shoot.

-Engine shroud painted
