Message Got a lot of things done on the Z this summer in between working about 50 hours a week.

Fixed the front fender..After my Z got hit on the driver side last year at college by some dumb chick, I got sick of looking at the dent on the fender, so I bought a new OEM one, and had that painted and blended in to match


To This..

Also had the passenger side mirror repainted.. (no pic) oh well its just a mirror ne way.

Then I got around to replacing my rear bumper with a used white one from Bernie Also came with LED License plate lights as an added bonus lol (Thanks Bernie)

Had that painted and it turned out pretttyyy nice!
Got my rear center panel to light up correctly and soldered it in.. and installed a on/off switch for it

I finally found a set of Blitz Type 03 wheels for the Z. Found them on eBay, from a seller named "RPMGarage". I Highly recommend them. Excellent communication, and took 4 days for the wheels to get here FEDEX.

They came off of a MR2 in Hong Kong, and were once on a Supra. Guess they have a lot of history! They even came with the original Blitz black and gold center caps. I replaced the hubcentric rings with Nissan ones (the plastic rim insert things) and mounted them on the car.

Came in boxes, barely fit in the car haha had to unwrap the rear wheels and put in the back.

They were packaged and protected VERY VERY well.

Here they are unwrapped, took about 15 mins. to get all the bubble wrap off haaa

I also had Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 Tires put on em. They are the BEST tires Ive ever had. Extremely grippy, sweet tread design, and theyre quieter than any other performance tire Iver ever had. I HIGHLY recommend them! No rubbing so far, and they fit great with NO spacers.
Specs are 17x8 front +35, 17x9 rear +38.. 225/45/17s and 255/40/17s

On the Z today :)


Next on the list is installing the CF Fog Ducts..but Michigan is running out of good weather soon :(

Thanks for peekin at ma progress.
