Ok, here are those updated pics I promised. Once again, this is the Ionicdynamics Gialla Replica Grill. Fitment is un-friggin-believable!

This is showing the stock grill...


New Ionic




This is a pic showing that the Ionic grill re-uses the stock fasteners


Another angle installed (nvm the dirtiness there)


And here she sits now...




Someone earlier said her @ss looked funny, so here are a couple new shots




Enjoy! Oh, and the bling ztube deal didnt pan out. But, it looks like my nf210s should be here by mid next week. If so, she will be lowered next weekend.

(lol, and yes i did just get her 3 weeks ago... )

Yup, I am already working on getting another rear fuji symbol to put on that grill. Also, I have my eye on this spoiler from Ionic http://ionicdynamics.com/RSPECSPOILER.html (kind of convenient that the one pictured is also white, lol).

Now.... lets work on getting you yours bro!

Well, got a couple more goodies installed yesterday. Ended up getting my ztube for free which was cool. Turns out one of the guys I train with at the dojo I go to, drives a 350z, and he just happened to have installed a CAI recently. Saweeet!

Also, got these puppies from the man in the brown suit yesterday...



Got em yesterday afternoon, and after wrestling with the stupid spring compressor for hours with hand tools, got her stance lowered just a touch. I'll have those pics up tonight. Couldnt have got a better deal on them either... brand new in the sealed never opened box..150 shipped from one of our members on here. People, USE THE MARKETPLACE!!! Some good stuff on there.

Look'in Good Brandon, great progress with the mods in such a short time. Good choice on the rear spoiler, Ionic is a great company and stands behind whatever they sell. Keep the pic coming....

Ok, so here they are... Keep in mind that I just did this install last night. So, im thinking there will be some settling over the next week or so. Also, I do realize that spacers are definitely something in my future... lol...

Before


After (I tried to take a pic in the same general position as the first one was taken)




Before


After




Closeup shots of current gap (front)


Rear


Kinda shows the drop. But, again, it still needs to settle a bit im sure. Overall, im happy as can be. It rides great, but got rid of some 4x4 action.

starting to look good, but don't get the spoiler, it looks 100x better w/o one... much cleaner... IMO the g with spoiler takes away from the clean lines of it. Trust me on this. Keep it the way it is.

Ah... im torn... damnit! I do like the bare@ssedness of it now... but the pics on the ionic site sure do look tastey too. I'll marinate on it for awhile. Body mods are on the back burner now. I ordered my mt fuji for the grill and that was all i wanted for the exterior for right now anyway.

Next are spacers. As for the MREV2 and 5/16 I plan on doing them both myself. According to the vids, its not that hard of an install.
