Got any pics?

Complete pillars? Or covers?

I know theres a few members who have had their roof wrapped in gloss black, but I was wondering if anybody has also had the pillars done aswell like the audi TT style. I think it would look good but would like to see an example! I have a gunmetal Zed. (not sure of the official name of the colour). Just in case any of you don't understand what I mean...

Just the middle mate. The 350z / fairlady badge comes off nice and easily. Thanks alot

Been a while since the last post in this thread but... With regards to the rear badges, is it only the middle badge that is held in by pins or is the fairlady/350Z badge held in by pins aswell?

Yep a nice excuse to get to a few meets!

Could do with hearing the systems in person really. Might have to be the K2 just for ease... *EDIT* Just as anoter comparison, I think this is decat though...

Seen a few videos on youtube that show differences in noise when HFCs are installed by themselves? I don't really want to remove the mid baffle as it just sounds raspy and tinny imo. Sorry, I'm in the reading area and sometimes in staffordshire.

Next month I will be purchasing a new exhaust for my recently acquired Zed. But I need some opinions as at the moment i'm torn... I like the looks of the K2 as it looks like a polished vesion of oem and would go great with a bumper tuck, it seems to sound nice on videos i've seen aswell, so thats one choice. But I also love the sound of High flow cats and manifolds on the standard cat back as it sounds like a louder version of the stock sound and really brings out the 'hollow' like V6 sound. BUT this would mean I would still have the oem back box which wouldn't give the looks I want. So what I'm asking is the opinions of the noise of these two exhaust choices and if anybody knows any good places to get the rear box chromed/polished? Thanks!

If i'm going to get it chromed I may aswell just go to the trouble of gettin the K2. Mind you, how much is chroming? Probably just wait until next month and get the K2. Its got the oem look and is supposed to sound nice. Going only by youtube videos and opinions!

Agree about the canards, I'd take them off. Also personally I'd have black mesh rather than the silver, but the black and white theme looks brilliant. Bumper tuck at the back aswell?

Not long had my Zed and the exhaust is standard, I plan on ordering a K2 exhaust in the future and combining with a bumper tuck. Won't be ordering it yet and was wondering if anybody had managed to get the oem rear exhaust can (not tips) up to a respectable shine. I know a drill with a pad and autosol/megs NXT with elbow grease will get all the crap off but I'm not quite sure what kind of finish I can get it up to. My tips are like mirrors and the same finish would be nice on the rear can. Any suggestions?

Just used Megs NXT polish on my tips and has brought them up nice, this is the stuff I've used on all my cars but just wondering if the actual oem exhaust backbox itself will come up like the tips? Autosol and fine wire wool should work then? I reckon it would really look nice with a bumper tuck until I get the K2.

Thanks for the comments. A vale fan I see? Used to live in stone and grew up in the potteries area, might see you around when I'm visiting the rents.

Pics anyone? Really interested in seeing this aswell as its a possible plan for mine. As the OP said, there must be somebody whos done it!

Thanks for the welcomes! A few pics: Already on tanabe springs and has ebc discs and pads. Plans in my head inslcude K2 exhaust with bumper tuck, nismo (V1 or V2...) spoiler in black with black wrapped roof and black wrapped lower front grill. Rays wheels maybe powdercoated in gloss black. Probably get all the camber and toe settings sorted aswell with a proper set up, and of course a little engine bay dress up. Just a few ideas.

Hi all, been lurking the forum for a few weeks and a week or two ago I sold my civic type-r and bought neodc's Z. I love the car and I won't post any pics as I'm sure you all know what a pretty much standard Z looks like. First little mod is my alpine headunit I fitted today and I've got plenty of plans so you'll be hearing from me alot more from now on. Forum is nice and friendly I've already met ChrisI at a recent reading jap meet and hope to get to a few meets, shame the show season is pretty much over!

Meet was good with a nice turnout and the weather stayed good aswell. Big thanks to chris'I for showing me round his zed and giving me a good idea of what they're like. And also an apology to his missus for stealing him for a little while!

Cheers lads, I was hoping for that sort of response! I'm also very new to the area, any chance of meeting up on the way there? I'm burghfield way...

Very new member here, just moved to reading. I am currently going through the process of selling my civic type-r and buying a 350Z! Is there any chance I can wander over to some of you boys at the meet and have a look around your Zs and maybe even somebody take me for a spin? Would be nice to look around one without a car salesman in my ear.
