Message Well my z's makeover has pretty much come to an end as of yesterday =0). At least as far as the color change goes. Are still lots of things I want to do when time and $$$$ permits but for the time being she will stay like this. I was just snapping pics as we were cleaning her up. I figured I throw some before during and afters in here to show the change.

Things that were done/bought were:
-paint the strip on wing a gloss black

-paint the strip on front fascia with an epoxy primer sealer as well as the black area around the side mirrors.

-pulled parts from bay along fire wall/sides to get paint down as far as possible

-all jams sprayed

-Shaved rear wiper and antenna

-Shaved all rock gaurd

-cut holes in n/a fascia for air flow through vents on stillen III lip.

-KurumaZ wing

-AZA Z1 wheels

-oppomanZ smoked corners

-cpark fog ducts

-stillen III lip

There are still a few bells and whistles that need to be attended to. Some areas dont line up perfect but I hope to be able to get to all of that today as well as putting the black stripe along sides/rear. Overall I like the outcome. There are a few issues with the paint that need to be tended to/touched up that I will deal with at a later time. I was pretty pissed as anyone would be when they pay money to get something done right and it has imperfections still. Guy said he fix/respray areas but instead I wanted my car back so he gave me alot of money back =0). The car as a whole looks good but it's def not up to my expectations =0/.

One thing I plan to get REALLY soon is a new catback (specialty), can deal with this fugly one!!!! Anyways, feel free to leave any constructive criticism on what you think I could do to improve things =0). I mean in the end its my z and ill do what i want lol but its still nice to get ideas and opinions. Have a blessed day yall!!!

P.S.
Thanks to all who helped me with questions I had.
