Do you use your car every day? Have someone local modify your stock hood like CS did to theirs.

thanks bro.... i went ahead and ordered the mdf flush mount rings already..... im gonna sell my z enclosure tomoro and after i get the money from that ill be buying some JL speakers to match my sub... im thinking of making the enclosure automotive black

gonna look sleek

edit* also on the bar mounts... imma make them red

i was fighting it but after seeing it in the morning... i want it red LOL.... the bronze is nice but red is tits

simota1 · 10-16-2012, 09:45 AM

so i went pretty hard on my panels today....

this probably had to be the most difficult mod ive done on my z.... Not to mention how much time it chewed... took me about 5 hours to carefully dremel the crap outa the panels... i didnt finish the seat belt bars yet... gotta reshoot the mounts again because when i test fitted and would trim more outa the panel they got scuffed up pretty good....

tomoro im hoping the seat belt bars are easier to slot.... i honestly cringed when i took a 4'' hole saw into the panel lol

on a side note... i wouldnt recommend this mod to anyone who wants to keep the interior panels... it is a pain in the as$ to modify the panels

simota1 · 10-16-2012, 09:56 AM

also.... dont mix beers with this mod.... i had a couple because at one point i felt like smashing the f*cking panels LOL..... after a while... it became even harder to tell if it was even with the other side
