A lot of new things constantly rolling in! Hope you guys enjoy and follow along with my build :tup:

Quick little update on whats going on
 

I get my Evo-R diffuser tomorrow and Aerojacket Type I Gt wing Wednesday and hopefully installed the same day so that's exciting! :tup: :driving:
I am really trying to sell my old subwoofer system so that I can use the cash right away for Swift Spec R's. :eek:
On a side note.. I am deciding between getting test pipes + short tails or Full Fast Intentions CBE. What would you guys suggest?

Just an opinion, but I think you should paint the front lip red.

Same lip on my car painted MB

I would if I wasnt going for a specific look. I am going to buy evo r side blades and shine auto rear add ons to go with a red and carbon fiber scheme and thats how I want it to look. :tup: Just my style :tiphat:

Installed the evo-r diffuser today :happydance: bought it off of a forum member and it was no pain to install. Looks good except for a mini gap in the fog light area exposing a bit of red.

Looks good! The guy you got that diffuser from wasnt kidding. Once its in, you really cant see the scrapes.

Yea I almost convinced myself to stay away from it but in the end im glad I got it :D

Do you guys think I should go remove the plastidip from the wheels? or should I keep them black? I am also deciding on powdercoating them gloss black... I know everyone will suggest wheels but I am still in school and the budget is very limited.

Keep them black - If anything, order 1 can of "Glossifier" and take off each wheel and spray a coat or two til' they are glossy. I would assume the gloss also helps deflect dust, dirt, grime, etc..

Random materials get stuck to the normal black dip (standard plastidip black)

Heres what happens, you pay a good chunk of change to get them powdercoated. Then you accidently take a turn short and curb rash the wheel. You cant just dip over it. You will have to send it back in and have it repaired, resprayed, etc..

When I curb rash the Z (rare) but it happens, I EASILY cover up all the scrapes haha for less then $5 and 30 seconds of my time.

We are both in school - I assume both working. Save the $$ and wait for good wheels to pop up for sale in the for sale section

go full non res headers back Fast Intentions:tup: iT sounds AWESOME:tiphat:
I would buy it again in a second!!!! The sound is unbelievable

Your Z it turning into a beautiful baby buddy:yum:

This is what she'll sound like:leghump:

If your planning on leaving the front lip carbon along with the side blades(which I like carbon:yum:)
then leave the wheels black:tup:

Did you do your own headlights? Or get them done
