ilive2win's 370z project

DannyGT · 08-25-2009, 02:54 PM

The front is very aggressive with 9.5 +22 and there is this metal clamp thing shrouded in plastic that hold the front bumper/quarter panel in place. It will most definitly rub on that if your on coilovers. I completed shaved that piece down and cut a 3" by 10" piece of lining off along the edge of the fender and that resolved everything 100%.

I think I saw your old Evo X at the JTuned Super Meet earlier in the year. Nice work! Can't wait to see how your 370Z comes out.

so there is no need for that metal shroud at all? just cut it off? obviously your bumper is still on with no problems. the lining i dont care about, i can just cut that as well for proper fitment

Thanks for posting pics of the black out headlights. I was curious how that looks on a black Z, and will probably be doing it myself over the winter

well im going to do full suspension and BBK first, including wheels and tires first for 2 reasons. first i auto x and track at willows a lot and would rather my suspension tuned first ( although the stock suspension feels really good, it could be improved like anything else). second my arc products arent out yet and im waiting on there intakes and exhaust and coolers so by the time im done with suspension and brakes the arc products should be out

yeah Footwork is always 1st on my list.
then whatever issues the car itself has.
i.e. Oil Temp on Tracks. so Oil cooler it is for me.

this time i took the method of a heat gun, not the over because the z lights wouldnt fit in the oven. you just have to be very patient with the lights and make sure they are completly sealed when done. if you have question you can pm me and ill do my best to help you from here

not a problem, i think it looks meaner and everyone that has seen it in person say they like it a lot better than the chrome
