Removed Decals and front lip
 
Since those pictures were taken I have removed the front CF lip. The guys who delivered it smashed it a bit and with the car lowered its just too darn low for comfortable driving (in and out of parking lots).

I also removed most of the decals from the car. I didnt like the way it made me feel like Brian Spilner. I think it looks a bit more "grown up" now.

heres a few pics and a quick walk around I did with my cell phone.

Color and car are awesome!

Color is awesome.

Gold rims with that color is awesome.

Did I mention that the color is effin awesome!?!... should totally be a factory color for the Z!

Falcor 10-06-2010 08:54 PM

I agree I am incredibly happy with the color. I like how it almost looks like a factory color. Most non-Z people cant tell its custom.

Great scheme you have going there. Ever consider blackhousing the headlights?

Falcor 10-07-2010 07:43 AM

Yeah, and the tails to be smoked. I'm waiting until I get my sound system in. I've got my sub jl 10w7 but I dont have an amp, speakers or box yet. I'm having the most trouble on deciding what to do about a box. With such limited trunk space even the zenclosure box looks big.

HKYStormFront 10-07-2010 07:54 AM

the next one is planned around cars and coffee in north charlotte nov 6th. i believe we are talking about cruising up to price park on the BRP for a cookout then pics at the overlooks afterwords. it would be great if you could join us, i'd love to get a few shots of the ride, definitely unique!

ClemsonWill 10-07-2010 07:54 AM

Very nice. Looks so much better without the stickers!

Thanks! what do you think about the remaining stickers? Personally I like the extra color down on the skirt but I'm curious to find out what others think.

HKYStormFront 10-07-2010 08:07 AM

there's nothing wrong with a "grocery list", i agree with will tho, looks better without the hood stickers.

ThoriumHotdog 10-07-2010 12:36 PM

I think it does look better without the yellow stripe. Good decision on removing them.
