Put my new Z1 undertray in, was kinda meh about it, seems that it's just not covering the sides as well as I thought. I'll feel better about it when I next change my oil. It's pretty and all, but now I have two empty bolt holes and the sides of it are wide open when it could (with a little more effort on Z1 part) been fitted as well as the OE part. I kept the OE tray as I'll put that back on if I decide to sell/trade. Nothing says be suspicious of this car better than add ons.

Default Installed a pair of ZOOM Blue Side Mirrors

Bought a set of ZOOM Engineering side view mirrors last week and installed as soon as I arrived from work last night. This thing works!

Those look pretty good.

Good job on the installation

I ended up with a blown rear tire on Sat heading to the monthly meet.

Well, I just got confirmed that my NEW rear set of tires won't get here till Mon.

Anyway Im scaling down the rears from 305/35/19 RE11's to 285/30/19 S-04

I still have meat on the front tires to make it at least 3-6 months before I'll need to replace them.

Was wondering why you were not there. Sorry for the wait.

Sorry, It is the ZSpeed, I can't communicate. I think I invented a vendor on the fly. Yes, it's the ZSpeed one. I just don't like having empty bolt holes and less coverage. Shame on me, I should have done more research. Maybe I'll make something to affix to the ZSpeed tray to make it look more like it was made for the car instead of the designer going 85% of the way to a proper fit and stopping, hoping folks would buy it anyway and when they noticed the open gaps, would live with it.

oh i c. is that opening on the front of the wheel well or side/aft?

I ask because the nismo r-tune intake (ingen?) pulls air from the front of the fender well vs front of the radiator like on the gen3's. might be another thing to buy..(?)

It's the opening at the sway bars on either side. Also the kit didn't include the correct number of bolts, they shorted me three and put the plastic push buttons in place of the 3 bolts . So, I'm having to use 3 bolts from the OEM piece to make up the difference.


PS: NO instructions with the kit either. I mean it's not Rocket Science, but where/why to use the 3 plastic push buttons instead of the bolts.....?

x2 wow... did others have this issue? i dont remember mr.gale or mr.onzedge complaining about the shortcomings?

i thought it was a perfect fit with all hardware included.

is your swaybar bushing completely exposed? if so might want to put some sort of cover so you dont wash out the grease from water kickup or something.

the push tabs go in the middle hole(s) forward of the swaybar. i cant remember off hand if the factory shroud used one or 3 (my head confused with my G's lower shroud) but i know it uses tabs to initially secure the shroud so it makes it easier to screw the other fasteners in.

My 2009 used no push tabs at all. 17 screws out, 17 screws in (14 screws in kit). Maybe he's banking on the later cars using push tabs, I don't know. I'm concerned about exposing the sway bar but fabricating a couple of pieces will take a while.
