I wasn't going to tell until I was done, but I mind as well because who knows when I will do it. The one thing that I haven't seen much on the 370z is a roof scoop. So I'd like to try it out, and thought it would be cool to make it removable. I'm thinking of gluing a magnet to the inside of the roof, and another to the bottom/inside of the roof scoop, it may just work.

Just updating. Ordered 2 sets of foam tires last night with wheels and a suspension kit:

Also, signed onto ebay and this auction was ending in 3 minutes so I just picked up without really checking compatibility or price haha.

Going to put the roof mod on hold, when these wheels get in I want to paint em up black and see how they look on the red 370z. Then my next plan is painting the Z blue. That's going to be a project for me because I have no model painting experience whatsoever. I'm looking at this paint:

It looks like I should be using 400 grit sandpaper to take off the red? And if anyone can point me in a good direction for a clear coat that would be awesome. And any painting tips are absolutely welcome. Thanks!

Got a shipment today =]















I think I enjoy taking photos just as much everything else about xmods. Probably took 30 or so, these I liked the most. I really like the way the black rims look, and I'm glad I tried it. Now I should have a couple sets of rims coming in this week, so now I can have some nice ones black, and not the 89 cent foam tire rims! haha.

*edit*
I think I'm going to ditch the roof scoop idea. Seems kind of dumb when I really think about it. On another note, I think the guy I won the rims from on ebay is flaking out on me. it's been 5 days and no response. Lame. Gotta get my money back!
