JustinOlson Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 These bumperless Z's aren't too forgiving. Heres my car after bumping into a SUV at 5mph. I'm going to buy a carbon hood to replace this as I dont think I wouldn't be able to color match the current color. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennysgreen280zt Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Is that one of Javad's headers, or one you made up? Looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Its not one of Javad's, although after javad saw my header, he has decided to start carrying this header. Lovefab.com made the header. Cody does excellent work. Kenny, what wheels and front air damn do you have on your Z? Your Blizzcats old roomate right?

olie05 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 That sucks. Makes me want to put a bumper on my Z... nice airdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Wheels were 16x7.5 TSW hockenhiem (sp) with a et20 offset. they needed spacers. Airdam is the Kamarari (again with the spelling) 3 hole, with the foglight holes glassed over. And yeah, I used to live with billzcat aka richard. Yeah, that header looks rad.

alexideways Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Makes me want to put a bumper on my Z... When you look at the damage, I think it could have been worst with the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I fixed the car so it doesn't look like total crap at the Historic races this weekend at PIR. With my limited budget I got a hood off of one of Ron's parts cars at Rusch motorsports. It was a please to meet Paul and Ron. They are great guys and I recommend them for any of your Z needs. A little sanding and 2 spray paints cans of flat black and I think its decent. Its definitely not even, but its better then the bent up hood I had on it before.

jgkurz Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Justin, I just realized where I've seen your car. I drive across the Ross Island bridge to hit I-5 South. I actually remember seeing it then noticed the hood was damaged. Glad to see Ron and Paul could help you out. I kind of like the flat black on yellow look.

JustinOlson Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 John, thats cool that you see my car over there. I like the flat black hood too. Someone placed a NorthWest Z on the window sill of my car over there to. Guess I alot of people drive past that spot. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
