walkaround

Just your typical intake and exhaust mods, but this car was so fun to drive, I hope to get in another Z in the future, hopefully a 370z! Im real happy to be in another V6 though, they sound awesome and cant wait to mod the exhaust on the c300...

Went down to City of Industry and met Gary@Suvneer to pick up my CF Roof Spoiler and CF Diffuser. Real cool guy, he had the parts waiting for me, and opened them for me to see everything was ok, then boxed them back up for transport. I will let everyone know how it goes with install + more pics...still waiting on my quad tips...

Went to Impressive Wrap in S. El Monte to get my CF parts installed as well as gloss black roof vinyl for my C300...Cool dudes, they worked very quickly and did the work in a timely fashion while tending to other customers also. The workers got an awesome lineup of cars and I saw a few other rides they were working on that I took pics of too.

As far as the fitment for the cf parts from suvneer...The fitment is great in my definition. It is not perfect. The installers had to heat the CF up a little to make it fit as best as possible, it only sticks out a very tiny bit on the right side. The diffuser could be more flush I think, but the fit definitely works with the car. The gloss black roof is awesome, I am loving the look of the car with it. All in all you really cant notice the tiny fitment issues until you get up close and personal so I'm satisfied with the CF parts I picked up from Gary@Suvneer

Still waiting to purchase quad tips, not sure where to go...can anyone point me in the direction of a set? Thanks!

These are pretty cool imo, i like the burnt tips. I have em on my car right now. Only downside is that they leave their logo on it and its not to easy to remove.

the guy who installed it didnt use the stock brackets that connect to the stock diffuser. he just used zip ties in the areas that used to have the two brackets. the rest of the screws they re used.

thanks, im waiting for the quad tips from topspeed, going to install that next with the x-pipe at the muffler shop. I will have the exhaust guy try a muffler delete + quad tips first to see if that is too my liking. I've seen a few vids with muffler+resonator delete and they seem a bit too loud for my taste. Also thinking debadging the c300 emblem & plastidipping the front grille, rear mb logo and the little chrome piece under it. To finish it off i want to get a front lip in the near future. Although i've been contemplating lowering it, I may not go with the front lip cause I daily drive this car. If i do get the front lip, I don't think I will lower it at all.
