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:

:tup:

B@t™

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

Looking clean! Keep it up!

I'm surprised I haven't seen you around the Fort.

Yes I did them myself :tup:






thanks! :)




same here dude! I live off of gladiolus. Pm me if you want to meet up :tup:

Nice! can't wait to see the wing!:happydance:

Did you follow a DIY? The one on here? Im just looking for the black housing, don't have the experience for LED's/halos.

Yep I used Simota's for the black housing and Nut_n_Much and Dallaz's for the LED's.

It saddens me to say.. but the wing will have to wait til tomorrow morning :(

Got my wing installed this morning :) looks really good in person. Ill post more pics tomorrow in the daylight :)

Looks awesome! I know what you mean about how it looks in person. Its hard capturing
The right angle:tiphat:

Wow! I looks even higher then the pics we've seen before. Thats gunna look great when you get your rear add ons & sides!

What does an install cost for something that like - I installed my own sport package wing

The shop charged me 100 bucks and I asked them to raise it to my desire. :D

Haha its starting to look something like that Aerojackt video we saw!

How's the visibility? It looks like the wing is blocking half of your back window.

It takes up the top half or my rear windshield :/ need to get those blind spot mirror add ons now

Looks good regardless :tup:

Thanks :tup: I totally agree

You should post a photo of your rear view. I want to see what that thing looks like inside the car looking back haha

Here you go

Ordered top speed tests pipes yesterday. Gonna try them out and see how they are. I haven't seen any vids or clips of how they sound so I will be posting them soon, next week more likely.
