Then vs. Now

[Black Mamba]

When I first bought the car stock in Feb 2008

2006 350z Grand Touring Trim w/ 20k miles. (Brembos / Rays Forges wheels 18's in the front and 19's in the rear / staggered)

5% tint so you can't see up in my windows.



Then I kept the car stock for several months until I started feeling some mod fever. Then, I just couldn't control myself and KIND OF went all out?

So I started with Nismo shiftknob and s2k antenna first... *NO pics*.. sorry!

Then it came Eibach Pro-Kit Springs... *upgrading to some coilovers soon*




A week later..Carbon Fiber Mishimoto Intake


About 2 weeks later? HKS Hi-Power True Dual Exhaust w/ Titanium tips


In the process of this mess, I ordered me a Full AMUSE kit, which I received 5 months after the payment. Some pics and some pics for test-fitment before painting. IT IS STILL BEING PAINTED..




Front bumper fitment


Sideskirt fitment.


Couldn't take the rear bumper fitment picture bc it was so dark.

ANYWAYS,

Here is how it's going to look once completed!


Then While i'm just waiting for my kit to be painted, I feel like I'm missing something, so I buy myself some 19inch volks with 9.5/10.5 combo w/ +17/18 offsets. Rear with 5" lip and this is how the car currently sits as of now.







I'll update as far as the kit goes.. I know most people on here will say "I'm not a big fan of kits.... blah blah" but bashing is welcome.

Just please don't talk sh1t when my exhaust + wheels alone is worth more than your car.

Just because you said that I'm going to tell you how I really feel. The fittament in the rear looks like shit. The front bumper doesn't do anything for the car.

[DB4LYFE ™]

Reps if you'd like

r u serious?

~DB4LYFE

[redrumracer]

doesnt matter what others think dude as long as it makes you happy

but for my 2 cent, i think all 350z's arent that great. i like the look and performance of the 300zx tt's much more.

[Black Mamba]

Just because you said that I'm going to tell you how I really feel. The fittament in the rear looks like shit. The front bumper doesn't do anything for the car.

LOL. Ok well taken. Any opinions matter right? BUT I do bet it looks 10x better than your AWESOME LOOKING eclipse..

[Black Mamba]

r u serious?

~DB4LYFE

Hm? and asking for reps is THAT funny?

[FasTech]

Its coming along man. The Volks look tons better than the other ones. Get the Bodykit painted and on the car, then I'll give you my 2 cent on that. But as of right now, looks pretty good.

[Alan®]

LOL. Ok well taken. Any opinions matter right? BUT I do bet it looks 10x better than your AWESOME LOOKING eclipse..

LOL. Your the jackass that apparently can't handle other people opinions. And I have never claimed my car was awesome looking.


Try again....

[C-loS109]

this dude its fucking retarded. nuff said.

[Crazy Asian]

YOU PARKED YOUR SEXY CAR RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHOPPING CART PLACE!!!??? WERENT YOU AFRAID SOMEONE WOULD HIT YOUR CAR!!??

[xdavidscenex]

badass car man.

[C-loS109]

so u spent around 1500 on your exahust, and then i guesstimate 2000 on your rims right, 3500 total. could be more or less. give that money to anybody u refered to with that comment, and i guarantee they'll whoop your ass. drag, street, you name it. kinda sad dont u think?

[LaoboiLB]

that 350z is clean

[Black Mamba]

LOL. Your the jackass that apparently can't handle other people opinions. And I have never claimed my car was awesome looking.


Try again....

Lol, whoa calm your nipples fat kid.

I did state that, your opinion was well taken. Oh and when I said your car was "awesome" I was being sarcastic. Never said you claimed that statement.

Wow, didn't expect such a statement would piss you off. I guess you fall RIGHT into that exact category eh? Otherwise, you really wouldn't/shouldn't be mad. But you know what? I will delete that comment, since it seems to be pissing off some people.

I said it in a joking way as I've seen some dumb idiots on here who were flaming nice cars, when they drive the biggest POS. I was only referring to them but I guess that includes you.

WITH THAT SAID, there is no reason for anyone to get pissed off unless you are one of them IMO. But I will delete it nevertheless since I do admit it was disrespectful on my part.

And I'm really not sure what you are trying to say on your last sentence?

[tdurr]

car looks like, dont be an ass and brag bout stuff.

[Donati03gt]

i like that kit , i think it would look good if u got that whole mouth of the center grill painted black and not just the 2 mock splitters (in that finished pic)

Yessir. I've already taken off that statement I've made. But thanks.

[matthewAPM]

Just please don't talk sh1t when my exhaust + wheels alone is worth more than your car.

imma talk shit. your car looks like crap. number one, you fucked up when you bought a damn 350z. sorry, but its not that fast. number 2, yeah, what if you spent a shit ton on your wheels and exhaust....IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT! the wheels are terrible. They dont fit for shit. also mister baller, if your spending oh such much on this build, then why didnt you get nice wheels??

no matter how nice the car becomes, the guy sitting behind the wheel will always be a bitch.

thats all

[The BUCKY]

should have brought that to me. i would have painted it in a few days. u know i always do you right

[Black Mamba]

so nope not pissed of at all

You sure?

You obviously don't know jack about cars or nice wheels with sick offsets. Oh that's right, You drive a stock civic w/ steelies that looks so much better than mine.

Nice try.

Sigh.. another one? seriously? What makes you think I bought the 350z for speed? Can you also take another look @ what you wrote? You aren't making much sense.. These wheels are once of the nicest volks that's out there you stupid tard.

no matter how nice the car becomes, the guy sitting behind the wheel will always be a bitch.

thats all

Soo.. I'm guessing you are calling everyone, including yourself a "bitch" because they drive.....? I don't get it. Please explain

[Dwisforme05]

looks good man. the front bumper isnt my favorite ive seen for that car but i LOVE the volks..

[Black Mamba]

should have brought that to me. i would have painted it in a few days. u know i always do you right

YEAHH I know.. This time I've really learned my lesson. Thanks man

[Alan®]

You sure?



You obviously don't know jack about cars or nice wheels. Oh that's right, You drive a stock civic w/ steelies that looks so much better than mine. Nice try though.

Actually that back fitment isn't great

[CHADbee]

i love me some PPW Z's

car looks great dude, if it was mine id keep it stock body with a V1 lip cause i just like the 06+ front bumpers, i think the Z is a great looking car from the factory, it sucks but its not mine so i guess amuse kit it is lol

dont mind people on here, alot of them really hate Z's for some reason and would much rather have EF civic with GSR wheels

[jonathanjone]

ima give you reps b/c i hate the way 350zs look. i like the new bumper better than the stock ones. and i personally like the rims. the exhaust is ok i guess... im more of a greddy ti-c fella but still. im sure it sounds pimp.

Thanks for the kind words/opinion man.

Oh and trust me. I really don't care about what these fools say here. They are just making fool outta themselves.

I really don't get why people hates Z's so much, seriously. They are nice cars and I'm not just saying bc I own one. I've owned 10+ swapped/turboed civics... And, speaking from experience, the pleasure or the feeling of driving the Z is just another different level from them, no matter how fast they are (well... maybe not.. but you get the point)

I agree many of Z drivers are f*cken douchebags (mostly spoiled kids whos parents bought them the car) but seriously, many of them are grown ups with respect.

i went from a 410whp SRT4 to my track edition 04 redline Z and the Z was MUCH more fun to drive at 260whp, i think its one of those cars you wont really understand till you spend a few weeks with one and REALLY learn to drive it. its by no means fast, if you want to drag race or street race its without a doubt the wrong car but if your intentions are nothing but to have a nice, good looking car thats fun to drive then the treefiddy is a great car.

thats exactly why people here hate Z's, there have been people on here with Z's that act like children and just spew stupidity from their keyboards.

[Alan®]

Eh. My main gripe with the OP was that stupid statement that was made but has since been removed.

It's great that you can take pride in your car but that doesn't exactly give you the right to climb up on your high horse because as you said your wheels and exhaust cost more than some people's cars on here.

I will agree with you that a 350Z is hella better than a swapped honda.

Anyways. Your car do what you want. A 350Z isn't exactly high on my list of cars to own but definitely higher than the piece of junk I'm driving now

[87 Turbo II]

Good job, I'm looking forward to the final result.

[RhdDc2]

Nice looking car. Front bumper isn't my taste but I like the wheels. I understand that a lot of people over reacted in this thread but you did provoke them with your ignorant statements. Just because some of us drive "ef civics or gsr's with wheels" doesn't mean that our cars aren't worth just as much as any other in dollar bills or meaning.

Keep us updated with the build.

i drive a 1995 blazer

[RhdDc2]

Well, Im sorry I didn't mean to direct that to you. It was more towards the OP. It was just one of the catchy lines that had stood out in my mind as I was typing. It really has nothingto do with what any of us drive.

[VooDooXII]

That car's going to look sexy.

[AV8ter]

Eh, you're right, turbo festivas are made for less money than you dubs and exhaust. They beat your car too. But clean-ness on your part none-the-less.

[JR VQ 30 de]

dude i just came thats all i can say right now

[AirMax95]

Looks pretty good to me. The front bumper can go either way, still nice.

For some reason, people think that everyone buys cars to GO FAST in, lol. Its not that serious people. The Z is a nice car that can be made into sexy pants for cruising. I know my A4 is slow as balls, but I didn't buy it for the speed factor.

BTW, the OP's comment did come off as "stuck up", but not so much. Guess it depends on how you feel when you read it.

Good luck on the build!

....how much was the wheel and tire package?

[Krappy]

LOLOL sorry...
