Default Finally started modding my RC-F

It's been a while since I've posted anything but I just recently bought a full body kit which was my "Christmas" present and I just installed it yesterday so I thought it deserved a little post about it. I think it is a subtle mod but makes a great difference as far as the looks and stance of the car, much more aggressive and just look great, IMHO. I still need to install the 2 rear lips but I didn't have the necessary screws for it and today I couldn't do it so maybe tomorrow I'll finish it. So here are some pics,





The other 2 photobombing lol...



I gotta clean the Z, it is covered in dust











Sorry for the quality, I know it's not the greatest but there was barely any light since it was late last night. I'll try and install the rest tomorrow and give it a good wash for proper pics.

P.S. The car is a lease but I'm about to buy it instead of trading it in. I don't think I'll be able to get a deal like I got with this one on a new RC-F and honestly I like this one better than the new one, especially the triple beam headlights. So as soon as I made up my mind to keep the car, I went for the first mod... almost 4 years later but better late than never and I don't think I'll be trading this car anytime soon, I just love it too much... and with my reduced payments now, maybe I'll be getting also into a Supra or perhaps the new Vette, can never have enough cars lol

Long time no see. Great to see you are finally modding your RCF. I would say do exhaust before any other mod. It will make the car 10x more fun.

Yeah I think the exhaust would be next unless I can find a really good deal on the Rowen rear bumper extensions... you know, to finish the look But the exhaust I'm pondering about is one of the ones with the valve so I can quiet it down or make it loud cause I don't want to lose the quiet comfort for daily driving if I choose to. My 300zx is plenty loud and it does get a bit too much and doesn't make a good daily... I was thinking the RR Racing Bazooka would do nicely

Yeah the 300zx has one of those timeless design that 30 years later, people still ask me if it's a couple years old or something lol

Judging by your neighbor's parking across from you it looks like no parking on the street (HOA maybe?). If so, where's a guy to park the additional C8 and/or Supra you mentioned? Wink

Yeap, no parking on the street.... that's why when I bought the house back then, I planned ahead to have enough space to park 6 cars, 2 inside the garage and 4 in the driveway.... 7 if you put one in the driveway apron too lol
