Jumping in the deep end.. my VIP BUILD

[bmccann101]

update.. got my wheels put on yesterday... man its humid here right now lol.. was POURING sweat.. lame.

Anyways, YES, the car is getting bagged.
Im adding some coilovers first tho.

The wheels look great in person, the concave is huge and deep.. very cool looking.. just needs moar lower.

btw props to Ben @ Audiocityusa.com.. most wheel places Ive been to are shady as hell.. this transaction was super smooth, shipping was extremely fast, and as you can see..the wheels were not just faced w cardboard and shipped as they roll.. these were HEAVILY cared for.. very cool. Plus each one was wrapped individually as well as fully cardboarded.. not a scratch anywhere.











Threw down on some chrome mirror covers and handle covers as well as piano black pillar posts.. have to throw these on later this weekened as its monsoon raining right now.. but these will all go on before the vent shades.. dont want to rock those until theres Vipped goodies inside tho.





All my Junction Produce swag is on its way, paid today.
Neck rolls, seat belt pads, knots and tassles, vip trays front and both rear doors, fr and rear window curtains, and the seat pillow set as well.

Anyways, thats the update for having owned the car 6 days lol

[bmccann101]

btw.. does anyone know where to get a EU ( european Union) front licenese plate mount? I have a german plate Id like to install.. would like cool IMO.

Thought id add a few progress shots of my Z in here as well lol.. they finally got the X over pipes done and the headers modified to fit the downtube.. plus the turbo is in and mounted up now lightly.









Anyways, back on topic lol...


hit me up on the headlights for sale too btw! ^^^

Loooove the rims ,they look sic ,Very nice choice,And it seems you have the rear lip on too ...or did i miss that being on already.looks good though,and hit up the guys in the 300c shop here and they can probubly get you one.

[bmccann101]

do have a rear lip and sides i think as well.. not sure if they are OEM or not.. I will need a fr lip, going w the shine kit parts.. i know thye are legit fit and a good company as they are well known in the 350z circles.. this is an Anceltion replica i believe:




it just needs some things cleaned up.. i dont like the color blend right now between the taillights etc.. they whole 90s blacked out on white w /GTS covers look is terrible IMHO.. lol.. so im awaiting non LED OEM SRT8 taillights in stock red to arrive.

My headlights are aimed horribly, and it appears there was some unscrupulous wiring and installation of the fr bumper and lights in general.. fog bulbs are broken, appear to have been HID so im curious to see what ill find once i get it on a lift and start clearing the junk out of there.

Does anyone know where i can get a proper projector beam to fit right into the OEM fog location? I have HID 5k bulbs for the OEM fog bulb.. so id love to find some that arent H3s.. but if necc, i can easily swap bulbs.

[bmccann101]

some ,more updates for today.. BIG ONES lol.. jk.

The OG status parts that were shipped from the US of course got here already,. so today I installed Chrome Mirror and handle covers, piano black pillar kit ( very cool stuff, hope it lasts), and OG smoke vent shades..

It is certanly a turn in the right direction for OG Vipd style.
Also cleaned the engine.. Gunk.. OMG.. the WORST idea ever.. the AC blows a lightly crisp and cool chemical scent that will get you uncomfortably high in 3 seconds.. drove it for an hr on the FWYY, still blowing horribly.. took it to the car wash and bathed the engine carefully.. still smells.. terrible terrible idea.

[Sodak]

Very nice indeed and no that is not a stock rear lip.not sure who makes it.You should also think about shaving the washers from the hood as well ,IMO would clean that up nicely.

Looking sweet!

[PTCSRT8]

It is really coming around. Nice transformation already. I am still loving the build! Thanks for sharing. Do you already have coilovers on it? It looks lower than stock.

[bmccann101]

^ it has some sort of drop spring on it,, definately lower than stock thank God lol..

day eight.. todays transformation really made a HUGE difference in the smile I get while driving the car

Threw on a cheapo intake this morning when the engine was cool ( and broke the retaining clip for my IAT sensor.. lovely)

carbon fiber stick on wonder dash kit made a bigggg difference.. will really set off my VIP in a different way i think. no wood grain here.
















also a few beter shots of the current stance and look..





Not bad for one week Id say.. thats how I roll tho.. lol.. crazy w my cars.

[MikeyMInc]

You're crazy man... I love it.. Car looks really sharp.. I love the rims... Wouldnt be my 1st choice if i saw them in a page of 100..but on seeing them on the car ... Changes my mind...

Very well done!
