My 350Z Project
Here is my latest project. So far, I have lowered the car. Instead of making the cuts in the body, I removed the existing tabs on the chassis, and added new tabs at a lower point. That way I can use any body on it and it will be lowered. Also, I hand drilled the holes in the rear deck for the spoiler.

As for the heat sink screw, I used a Dremel to slightly shave away some plastic on the inside of the body where the screw would sit.(Some cars don't need this.) I just cut that tab back to the screw and stopped there. The spoiler was from the 2F&2F Tuner Kit. The tabs are made of an old credit card.(IMO, the best use for a credit card.)
My camera doesn't take good close-ups, so I used my scanner.

It doesn't look like I have much of a tab in the front, but that's because I stuck stiffiner braces on the top and bottom.

The white semi-circle line is where I shaved the body for the heat sink screw. Also, I did have to shave the insides of the wheel wells a little for tire clearance.

Sure thing flatlander_14. I plan on making a couple more of the chassis lowered tab mods, and I will trade you one of them or something. I was thinking about adding some side skirts, etc. to this one.
