Popular Post EmpireDude Posted December 18, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey everyone! My buddy turned me onto this forum, and I can't wait to have another new forum to participate in, learn from and contribute to. My name is Bobby, and I have grown up in the Dayton area but also attend the Ohio State University. I have a 2008 350z. It started as a base model, but that gave me plenty of room to pick the right parts to install down the road. I am finally to the point where I am damn close to being done modding (pfft, we all know that never happens), and can truly enjoy the car in its current form. Anyway, onto the mods: Performance Injen dual long tube intakes HKS exhaust custom cobb retune Suspension, Brakes, Wheels and Drivetrain Stance true style coilovers SPL front camber arms Battle version and SPL rear toe/camber arms Quaife LSD Brembo brake swap off of a wrecked Z Drilled and slotted rotors Stoptech pads Stainless steel lines RBF600 brake fluid 19x9.5/10.5 Volk SF Challenge 255/285 Nitto Invo rubber Sound Pioneer 3200 DVD Amped front rockford fosgate speakers and tweeters JL 10" sub in a zenclosure box Exterior and Interior Custom LED front reflectors 50% front windows, 35% rear and front brow Stillen front splitter Red Bride Gias seats Sparco Harness Bar Takata harnesses 380 rs gas pedal nismo shift knob alcantara ebrake and shifter boots momo ebrake handle NRG radiator cooling plate interior trim pieces wrapped in 3m cf vinyl 3M matte metallic blue vinyl wrap, w/ gloss black wrapped roof and cf wrapped spoiler I am probably forgetting something here or there, but I will update my post if and when I remember what I've missed. I also need to get more pictures since I've completed the vinyl wrap. It is a project we just undertook, and all that is left to finish is the passenger door. Also, please ignore the rear bumper gap. In these pictures it was not fully installed, but has since been 100% re buttoned up http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/belder117/02993D02-5929-48B1-A94C-FDADE76A19F5-3364-000001E066C00FF3_zpsab6dcf7b.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/belder117/28294D6E-E0C6-4B29-9982-C557FEECC049-3364-000001DE75946542_zpsb1f44962.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/belder117/6E59CF6A-A90F-48D7-B11D-E7AA34F1FFD7-3364-000001DE72FAC811_zps7bfe858d.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/belder117/84C01CCB-F893-412A-8010-7D889B50DB2F-3364-000001DE701EC337_zps210d3047.jpg http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/belder117/E0F8CB9E-5BD6-417E-B564-C619105968A4-7395-000003869D135291_zpsa140038a.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/33905123-CDD3-4886-BA27-24A8C4B6C3FC-5166-0000032B37097385.jpg and pictures before the wrap http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/F276593A-FBC3-4004-972A-3AB82C76E01F-3818-000001DED81B355B.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/IMG_1037.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/IMG_1092.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/Screenshot2012-06-10at125920AM.png http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/Screenshot2012-06-10at12039AM.png http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/Screenshot2012-06-10at11745AM.png http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/DirtyDawgs/Screenshot2012-06-10at11858AM.png Please let me know what you think of my ride 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiColin Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 It honestly looked better before the wrap IMO. Welcome to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Welcome! Good intro, that's a nice car. Auto or manual? Excuse my Nissan ignorance but what is "base" about it, did they make a 350z with a performance/track package or something along those lines? That wrap is interesting, I like the color but the b-pillar looks kind of strange being the same color as the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpireDude Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 i like the matte blue personally!! nice intro, welcome to the board! Thank you I like the matte blue, looks very much like the daytona blue on my old 2004 I agree, it is very similar just with a matte texture. It's a very dynamic color, I am very pleased with it. Please feel free to post up some pics of your old z! I love the DB color Nice looking Z and good intro. Are you a part of the Ohio G/Z Club or ZROC (Columbus Z Club)?
