Default Raising the 370Z

There I was in my rocking chair looking at my Z up on blocks when I realized the option of raising the Z had not been discussed. I think that with a cattle guard on the front facia and headlights, all terrain knobbies and the added height you would have the ultimate vehicle that will be the envy of all deer leaser's (well at least in Texas).

You think?

Time for some super swampers.

Aside from the unusual taste in Z modifications you have a very nice garage!
