Looks good. I like the simple 5 spoke split wheels. :tup:


Do you by chance happen to have any straight on nose pics with the Stillen Front Plate adapter? I'm looking at getting one and need to know how much of the grille it covers. :tiphat:

gracias sir. and na i don't have one, but mine looks just like this dudes.

Thank ya kindly. :tiphat:

we need a south tx 370 meet :)

hell yea! :happydance:

Nice build, i love your wheels!

Very nice!

clean

thanks fellas!

i'm debating a spoiler or not. any input?

You should! going with GT look or just complimenting the rear?

probably just complimenting the rear. i think the car looks great, but i've seen how some cars look before and after, and the spoiler just pulls the car together. i'm not unsure of what spoiler would suit my car the best.

Okay then i suggest you look at CarbonSignal's N type spoiler, Mine's spoiler and AeroJacket's Ver 3. they all looks good :tup:

i've checked em all out. just not sure if i wanna pull the trigger because i'm not sure how they'd compliment my car. but that's further down the road. my next plans are to repaint front bumper (some lady bumped me pretty good)->blacked out fangs(not sure if i wanna paint or overlay)->rear diffuser

+1 those are all good suggestions!

Car looks very nice :) More pics when you can please. Deciding on the spoiler thing myself.

I like the no spoiler look. Nice mods!

Bah! See I feel the same way. I think it looks pretty clean without one. I dunno, I'm torn lol.

In the process of putting on my fi rtp's. Demon bolts just may freagin beat me guys.

Looks like we're gonna lose :(

Very clean!!! Can we get more pics from the front and sides, doesn't look like the wheels stick out at all. What are the specs of the wheels/alignment?

thanks man. and na the wheels don't stick out. the spec's are in the op. and some more pics are in my album here...

Def one of the best Z in this board man :tup: i cant wait to buy mine some new shoes and switch the oem :happydance:

thanks man! quite the compliment. you have the diffuser i want which will be my next purchase. ur ride is lookin good.

Thanks for the compliment too :tiphat: i have a hard time saving money while still on college lol :bowrofl: as of the diffuser, just send Jay a PM and tell him i sent you :tup:

will do! you got the fenders and headlights, ugh lol. wish i had the balls to DIY my headlights.

Yeah i got em' but havent got time to install em' :shakes head: i'd def install em' no matter what end of this month lol. i say just do it! you'll know how your car goes around when you make some DIYs :tup:

so i just took the z to the muffler shop, and it looks like they're going to fail at getting the demon bolts off as well! wtf are up with mine. mine seem 10x worse than anything i've read on these bastards. i came into this so well prepared thanks to the DIY's on here and it seems no one can get em off.

success! finally. my demon bolts were the king of demon bolts. they have been cross threaded some how. the muffler shop was able to get off the driver side, and i had to remove the head/cat combo so we can cut off the head of the bolt. after 3 freagin weeks the resonated test pipes are on. the sound is muuuch deeper and pronounced. loving it. the seller didn't include the gaskets so i just used some gasket material for now and ordered the gaskets from Tony. I'll do a sound clip with my gf's studio mic following the gasket replacement.

soon to install -> spc camber kit

Nice set-up!

so apparently f.i. doesn't provide gaskets for the header to test pipe. which kinda sucks but oh well. apparently berk makes one, and i feel better knowing i have a gasket there and not just sealant. so i'll be ordering those today. camber kit should be here this week so that'll be going on as well.

...wheels look good...especially on your colour :tup:

thanks man!

just a little sound clip. recorded it with a compressor mic for better quality. have a bit of an exhaust leak on the test pipe that i'll need to fix later. i'm not lovin the rasp on the down rev. that may be a deal break for me. may have to upgrade to the motordyne art pipes. but the sound is definitely very mean. much more pronounced.

tried out the video stabilizer on youtube. kinda cool.
