Hello everyone. Initially this full repaint/engine update should have taken few months but dragged out for over a year.
Hopefully will finish it by the new year :)Last week finished installing AP brakes which look great. I have to say that the Fitment of Twin Z products is good. Kaminari side skirts do not fit well, have to grind and adjust. For Safer practicality i would go with Stillen again but after having Stillen sides and body kit on many of my z's i was just tired and decided to try out the Twinz and i have to say IT LOOKS like a different CAR period. I just wish the material was not as Fragile as it is... Also now have an issue of lifting the car with a floor jack or a lift due to the side skirts being in the way. Had to take square jackking pieces from a Mini cooper i have for parts and fabricate holes under a z and install them into the holes so now i have solid points of lifting the car.
............ Quarter glass after market moldings not as good as i expected them to be..... must say that.....
However beats buying new quarter glass with the molding....
Also ran into an issue with the Rear glass today, had mine cut a while ago and when got to the installation noticed that the heating element broke off so had to pull out a 96 spare hatch and have my glass guy spend 40 min carefully cutting the other glass out so we can install it................. The Molding we preserved and kept as it was in a good shape...........paid the guy 100 just to cut the glass out and was happy to pay it as he did a great job.... another 140 for new front as the one i cut out ended up braking while was in storage :( 
rear shield needed cuting

The clearance on the rear rotor is much tighter than the OEM as you see the step is smoother on the OEM and much sharper on AP causing you to loose 2mm of wheel stud length in the back, had to grind smooth it out a bit to get the rotor to sit deeper.
 
Front Bumper with the LIp makes the car even lower :( need to raise it about half an inch
*********
I must say to all that the fitment on the Front Bumper TwinZ is AWSOME! IT Actually Fits Good!!!!!!

you have to cut shave the IC ducts quite a bit
