So I had some time today for a simple interior mod. I like the way the all black interior looks but I thought it could use a little more so I found a brand new fabric marker laying around the house and put it to good use and all of the work took 30 minutes or so. Just simply go down the stitching a few inches and wipe off. I did the whole interior (door panels, seats, center console, etc.). The pictures seem like the color is faded but its much more red than it looks. Excuse the filthiness.

Here you go!

Now I just wanted to share a few pics I took because the car was freshly waxed yesterday and the reflections looked killer in the sun. Enjoy!

Nice! I love simple (free) mods, its the little things that really set the car off sometimes.

It looks really nice in the sunlight. No one notices the change! but I do so that's what makes it awesome!

Alex100 · 02-14-2014, 12:32 PM

I really like the bi-color effect with the rear wing being black-ish, instead of red.
I was thinking of doing the same thing, when I install a rear wing for my Z. How do you like it so far?

Awesome work brother

Thanks. The wing is great. Blends really well with the rest of the car.

I REALLY like that on your red Z! Looks great!

DatsunFTW · 02-23-2014, 07:57 PM

So a little bit of an update but I am close to finishing up my phase 1 of my build. All that is left is the shine auto spats, swift springs, stillen gen 3 intakes and cbe exhaust (still a secret

) with art pipes. I am really hoping to get most of this stuff done by April. Phase 2 will be wheels (most likely Avant Garde M350's), possibly full coilover set-up, a new font lip and some performance stuff.

In the meantime I got these barrel overs put on today for the interior. Courtesy of Riptide67

Here's just a pic from our South Florida Annual picnic yesterday. Feels good to see more red Z's.

Thanks to the influence of Iwan

I decided to do the lowering first. I will be getting H&R springs with SPC Rear Camber Arms and SPC Toe bolts. All of which will cost me under 500 bucks. That will be my first step now. Will be ordering these soon

Riptide67 · 02-24-2014, 04:50 PM

The door barrels look great! I almost wish I had kept them after seeing your install pics!

What made you decide on the H&R springs? I had the Swift springs and the drop was pretty nice and the ride was amazing! Just a little perspective from my end

I really like the drop of the swifts, don't get me wrong... but I would really like to go lower than that.
