I do really like it, but I can't get myself to spend 2k plus just for an unpainted bumper.

i went with a gunmetal color using the metalizer... pretty neat stuff.... i really like how they came out :D i actually think i like how my z look now over when i had my volks.... these should suit my z until i can save up for my permanent wheels....

update on my interior... i installed the 40th console.. and dear god... i fell in love with that red stitching... and i figured a way to go about my seat dilemma.... imma get black stitch chairs so it will look like there is to trim stitching on the seats... my buddy showed me some central 20 chairs... MAD JDM... i think i will get those instead and the price is actually pretty friendly :happydance: and they are leather :tup:

update on my mirrors and TS fog lamp.. theyll be shipped tomorrow and should be here in a week... :)

almost forgot... my z is super dirty in the pics because they just finished reclearing my varis hood... nothing was wrong with it but i always reclear my cf so theyll last long... just a habit...

and finally jdmphassis sent me some stickers that im very proud to put on my z... :tup:

Wiggins3377 09-25-2013 08:09 AM

ive always LOVED the 40th rims....

i forgot to update about the TS strut bar... my shop got floored with a couple of jobs so i cant steal my machinist just yet... BUT i will make it happen this week because if i dont ill have to wait till my dad leaves again and... thats a long time... and it would definitely suck if my top arms arent mounted :(

simota1 09-25-2013 08:21 AM

id like to share a funny story with all of you...

i ask my other half to look at my rims when they were on my z mounted already... she comes out and looks at my z.... and i am also looking at my z... then she goes... "why are there so much scratches" i was like what where?? i immediately run up to the rays rims and im tryna find the scratches... then i look over my shoulder and ask what scratches are you pointing at? she then points at the G37 stocks that are on the ground and says there and over here.. there is alot of it.... THEN she says its not that noticeable you did a great job painting them.... then i tell her what are you talking about? those arent my rims.. the rims i painted are ON my z :icon17::roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

KaienZ34 09-25-2013 08:18 PM

Hahaha good stuff bro.

haitech 09-25-2013 11:43 PM

Very clean job

/Angelo350Z/ 09-26-2013 12:15 AM

Damn, that looks great.

LMBmikeZ 09-26-2013 04:54 AM

Looks good Jon!

:iagree: with wiggins they look close to the OEM 40th's :tup:

simota1 09-26-2013 05:33 AM

thanks guys... i did the center caps today... ill snap some pics when my z is clean and take it to work saturday ;)

i just got offered these..... im still unsure of them... you already know i want them because duh its top secret BUT i am definitely gonna need a pair of titanium balls before i cut my varis hood... tell me what you guys think....

theDreamer 09-27-2013 12:44 PM

No. Varis hood is to nice to cut into and you do not need them. Our factory hood has 3 locks built in and I would assume the Varis hood takes use of all of them (I know the cheaper seibon hood does).

It would be a pass for me unless I needed them for some custom hood set up for some reason. If it's just for show?....let's be honest, they don't really look that good anyway and really takes away from the clean look of our sweet curvy hood on the Z.

Wiggins3377 09-27-2013 12:51 PM

I agree with everyone here... keep that hood as is. No need to put holes in it.

FairladyZ10PG 09-27-2013 01:05 PM

vividracing 09-27-2013 01:21 PM

I wouldn't want to cut the Varis hood, but at the same time there is that "OMFG, that guy cut his Varis hood to use Top Secret Aerocatches!" factor

matrix_square 09-27-2013 03:33 PM

dont do it...

Mr&Mrs 09-27-2013 03:46 PM

No

simota1 09-27-2013 03:49 PM

ok guys i wont do it ;).... thanks for making me come to my senses :D

speedfreek 09-27-2013 03:51 PM

So have you taken all the PWJDM stuff off the car yet? When is the ceremony? :stirthepot:

the only thing left of password on my z is my cooling panels and frames.... :roflpuke2: i would take a piss on the cooling covers too but man those things were friggin expensive :roflpuke2:

speedfreek 09-27-2013 04:13 PM

I hear you man it would be hard to burn the cooling covers so those are out. But the frames I say light em up! Posting a picture of it on fire to their FB page is better than the F the haters PWJDM put up to their followers.

Mr&Mrs 09-27-2013 04:23 PM

I would paypal you some money to put back in your pocket to burn it all. I think we have enough guys here to chip in. I would love to see that on their FB page.

chose a weapon.... benzomatic map gas torch... acetylene torch... and it was metal plasma cutter.. :tup:

i really wish a JDM company would produce cooling covers for our z's

GaleForce 09-27-2013 06:18 PM

Do not cut the hood for those things!!!!!

Unique_Z 09-27-2013 07:46 PM

As a JDM lover, i would say NO. Ruining a CF hood is not cool, they are hard to cut and re-shape. Leave the hood as is, it'll look better if you put some nice stickers ;)

OMGWTFBBQ 09-27-2013 08:13 PM

Since you're such a JDM whore :p I'm going to leave this here...

Central20?PARTS

Kingbaby 09-27-2013 11:04 PM

I agree latches not needed on this car

simota1 09-28-2013 03:47 AM

loud and clear fellas LOL i aint getting those aerocatches no more :roflpuke2: im glad i asked for everyones opinion first LOL
