The same people that currently have my custom f-sport shift knob, door handles, & center console forks leading to the head unit 


Krometics in Dallas, TX 


It's the same process used by Think design 




Same thing used on 50 cents chrome lambo

This just shows some of the stages my nav and center console took to get to where they are today. Notice the buttons missing for the clock area on the nav.

One of the pics also shows me on stock wheels painted black before I got my Stance SC-5's.

Another pic shows the rainbow color the console lid and nav panel takes during certain lighting conditions. Looks incredible in person.

These are cell phone pics after the drop and the 19x9.5 and 20x10 SC-5 install.

Yes, that is a 19 up front and 20 in the rear. I know it's very odd.

Notice the custom molded grill mesh that matches the same pattern as the lower grill mesh. I have 3 cut fingers from that job 


First pic is of a phillips head that got lodged into my passenger side rear tire. Not one tire shop would fix this repair cause my car wouldn't fit in their bay. So I had to do it all myself. My non muscle self had a hard time patching this tire from the outside with those off the shelf plug kits

A couple of these pics were at the Palm Beach International Raceway. The car ran a 16.1 which was better then I thought this ISlow-50 would do considering the heavy wheels I put on her. 

I only ran her for fun just to see what she'd do. It's nothing like my old 350z.


Another pic is in front of one of my fav sushi places.


The 4th pic shows the dent in my driver side front fender from the tire hitting the fender on a bad pothole I couldn't avoid.

Had a whole day I set aside to fix some items.

My driver door handle got fixed by my buddy Kevin that owns a body shop. It had gotten chipped.


My rear reflectors LED's had 2 burn out so I took off the bumper to fix it. Some shots of my feet in one of the pics cause I had to walk away from the bumper for a second cause it was being stubborn.

Another shot of the rear bumper under my 55" flat screen and a messy arse living room from working on the car all day.


Last pic shows my LED headlights back from the retrofitter and my amp for the subwoofer came in the mail to my office.

One of these pics (I think the 4th one I uploaded) shows the money shot. The s2k projector sitting in the headlight bracket.

The rest shows the painted headlight. This is far from what they come like from the factory. Hopefully I can get some shots of the output. I'm trying to figure out how to seal the back of the headlight after I put a 1.8" hole in it.

The 4th pic shows (sorry it's blurry) the nav panel molded with no Hour Minute button next to the emergency flasher button


The last pic shows the new console lid I had molded thanks to my buddy Kevin, with the new impregnated heated/cooled seat retrofit i'm in the process of. (My car never came with heated/cooled seats)


The first 3 pics just show the console lid before I began the heated/cooled seat retrofit.

These last two pics show the heated and cooled switches actually receiving power. I'm starting to feel accomplished with this car. I love being a nerd. Pays for my modding addiction
