This thread has gone from bad to worst.

Agreed. No offense, but if it's all the same, I would request that vendors stay out of this thread.

Sorry guys. I didn't mean to stir up a fuss. Looks like Brandon is going to be going to MotionLab. I'm sure he'll let us know how his experience goes!

Definitely looks like it will be Motion Lab doing the work. The only other consideration I would have would be Z1, but based on distance I just don't think that's going to happen.

I do realize that tuning a NA car with very little modification is really a very basic thing to do, but ultimately I was looking for someone who could do a great job and was going to spend the time that was really needed to do it right. I feel confident they will accomplish what I'm looking for and their communication has been great so far. Communication, in my opinion, is a immediate indicator of the quality of someone's work and how smooth your experience will be. You will generally notice when people fail to communicate well, that they probably aren't your best choice in terms of the "experience."

In other news...my new door handles are here...

I'm assuming black handles and blacked out housings, a great color combo on white 370s imo

The handles are completely disassembled and paint matched(KAD) with the wheels/lip/mirrors /etc... looks amazing. The headlights I'm going to have One Eighty do next year after my bonus.

Beats the hell out of the ugly *** silver handles

HKYStormFront · 10-05-2014, 05:40 PM

^That's what I was hoping you were going to do. Same thing Dustin did on his 350 Nismo.

Did you really think I'd rice it up?

The 370z is more involved than the 350 but it was worth it.

phantom370z · 10-05-2014, 06:56 PM

Now the headlights look even worse by comparison

EDIT: This is what I want to do with the headlights:

Is KAD the same color as my car, gun metallic? Your pictures look a lot darker

I think when it contrasts with the pearl white it just looks a lot darker, I'm fairly certain it's the same.
