So I was chatting to a few of my mates at the weekend regarding how much my zed has changed over the years and decided to start a thread to show the gradual transformation of it
So it all started with me saying I wasn't going to modify the zed at all Ohhhh how I was wrong
I dont have any pics of it completely standard. For some bizare reason I decided to go for chrome wheels they lasted a whole 3 months
Ok so after that slight mishap I decided to go down the Jap style route..... so I got my old jdm wheels back on and refurbed them black. I also purchased a nismo v1 rep and a nismo v1 spoiler. Just as it was all going in for paint I decided to paint my roof black and also an accent on the back spoiler black aswell.
Next came the headlights...... Paul @ dream customz hooked me up with a gorgeous pair of lights
At this point.... I attended alot more meets and shows and decided to change the look again but only subtley by adding the black strip on the front bumper. It just gave it a bit of a meanier look
Ok so by now I was thinking to myself .... thats the zed done..... but oh no... I parked up next to Paul T's green beast and Irfans azure unique zed.....and I will be honest....... I knew my zed needed a kit in order to look as good as theirs
So side skirts and a rear bumper were next in line. I didnt want to go all nismo as I wanted a fairly unique looking 350z. So after hours an hours of looking through web sites etc I decided on JP Vizage skirts and Ings +1 rear bumper.
Sooooooo Looooowwww
I was really pleased with the out come and loved the way the zed looked... I kept it like this for a fair few months. To be honest.... its only because I was in Australia for 6 months
When I returned from my oz adventure.... I fell in love again with the zed as I forgot how powerful she was and also how much attention you get while driving it. But this only lasted about ohhh 2 months AGAIN At this point the 07 bumper buldge was on everyones hit list.... so naturally I had to have one
OK sooooo the Biggest and BRIGHTEST change was now happening. I wanted my zed to become a show car and felt that the blade was a safe option...... I knew deep down that a colour change was needed. However I kept thinkin of the cost but also how it would affect the resale of the zed whenever it happened. So I was told about wrapping etc.... naturally I enquired........ that led to my PUMPKIN ZED
As usual....... there was something missing.... yup, you guessed it.........WHEELS .......
It was show time now soooooo naturally new zorst and a couple of engine bay bits and bobs
This then made me smile
I calmed down for a while and decided to do some "sensible" mods and upgrade my dics to EBC Turbo grooves with yellow stuff pads Also since I was on the wheels etc I had to get some spacers to give it that meanier stance
So was that it....... my show car..... finally finished
NOPE I felt that the nismo front was a little too subtle.... I got my inspiration from 33boxer and his gorgeous aussie drift car.... so I was on the phone pronto to Japan and ordering my JP Vizage type N front bumper
The first one in the uk
I think that is the zed finished externally...... for this show season I have recently purchased a new steering wheel, blackened l.e.d. rear lights and a nitrous bottle ( for show only... but we will see )
So that's all folks..... hope you haven't minded too much reading my random ramblings. But that is the evolution of my zed.... whats next..... new seats and then...... thats it ....................... FOR NOW
QUICK UPDATE: new engine bay bits and also new retrimmed seats on the way
Cheers for looking
