phelan's 370Z (W.I.P.)

Shunya · 08-16-2009, 05:56 AM

omg, this is so nice

will you consider on body matching those door handles too?
get back to me on this one, I would really like to see red with this mod

phelan · 08-16-2009, 10:31 PM

Shunya: thinking about it. I want to powdercoat my wheels darker, and it's a coin toss whether the handles will match those or the body color.

dcrew1x: Yorba Linda, most boring place ever! XD

Thanks all, I'm working on getting the IKPs installed (cooking took way longer than I thought..sorry Cjanik!). I'll keep everybody posted

Good looking car. I was wondering what "w.i.p" meant, glad you mentioned it!

Looking forward to seeing those red kickplates! I love my blue ones....I'm sure you'll love the red!

Shunya · 08-17-2009, 04:57 PM

alrighties lemme know :P

Illuminated Kick Plates installed! Amusingly I tried to have the dealership do it while I was in looking at cars...and they utterly failed to understand the instruction manual. 2 hours and a few beers later, voila!

Random night shots. I realize my camera is beyond terrible. Please donate and help me get a better one!

On the board for next week: dyno run, and off to Tony's shop for my exhaust!!!
