Bradders Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bored at work and boss is away , so thought I'd reach out to others in the same position and pick your brains. I want to keep mine mainly OEM but make some very subtle but cheap mods. Just spent aload on Dodo Juice Only had her since Jan this year. She is completley standard with Rays. Maybe some carbon B pillars covers and a stubby for starters. I'd like to put on a couple of the nice Z badgers that Envy do. Think the smoked chrome will look nice against GM. On another note, is there a switch I haven't found to switch off the factory reverse sensors. I back mind onto the drive and get waved in by the missus as it is very tight, and I'd like to use it just for parking, as on the drive they drive me potty. So LOUD Any input greatly received.

Husky Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 i like the OEM look aswell, i changed my interior lights to be white, looks oem. i could have gone for blue or green or anything really but i thought this looked more in keeping with the zed. a polished plenum is really nice aswell, its surprsing how much of a difference it makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz0 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm stuck in the same boat just now as well. I think (personally) its a little bit more difficult to spruce up a GM colour car. There's a very fine line with it between nice and classes and tacky and chavvy. I agree the smoked chrome should look lovely. Keep us updated.

Bradders Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks Husky and ATTAK Z, those are some nice ideas. That sort of thing is exactly what I'm looking for. Think I'll look at a Stubby, badgers and B pillars first. Saw some Z wheel centre caps on Fleabay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350Z-18-RAYS-ALLOY-WHEEL-Z-CENTER-CAPS-X4_W0QQitemZ130372206820QQihZ003QQcategoryZ43117QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m444QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DCRX%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DSI%252BUA%252BLM%252BLA%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8724983464177882704 Anyone know if they are any good? Would prefer some from a known suppliers. Not saying there is anything wrong with this guy of course. Who was it who makes the gearknobs here with laser engraving. Maybe he could tool some? Bradders.
