Thought I'd share parts of the journey with the Z fam. This is my first Z coming from a G, I'm loving everything about this car. Bought the car in May of this year, since moding is a never ending hobby documenting it seemed right.

Car as I purchased it, loved the Magama color from the first second I saw it






KWv3's and Work Gs4's installed shortly after













Spats, side blades, Stillen Gen3's, Motordyne exhaust, FI long tubes, and diffuser, and Evo-R rear fog light installed













Volk TE37's in bronze, one of my favorite acquisitions for the ride along with CF mirror covers and B pillars.











And with the Amuse bumper installed




















Just had it tuned a few weeks ago and the car put down 317rwhp and 257tq on an 80 degree day with 60% humidity, we were at 291rwhp and 241tq before the tune. Power is more balanced now, and it pulls all the way to red line. Ordering the Type M aerojacket add on wing next week in CF and doing the headlight housing in gunmetal, with bronze shrouds and magma accents, along with STI-R lenses. Got a few questions about the bumper and wether the bumper support had to be taken out. We just put a few screws through the radiator support there's a support portion on the Amuse bumper that is secured that way. Only thing that was taken off was the fender brackets which is no big deal. Z/G community is the best by far that I have ever seen, and hope to share more with you guys as the build continues. Thanks for looking

Lol I hear ya man, I don't know if I would drive the Z in the snow honestly. I'd probably have another car for the winters... Then again your in Alaska im sure you guys see snow most months. I know when I lived in Montreal and had I owned the Z, I would of never taken her out lol. She would of came out 2 months out of the year.

Surprisingly it doesn't do to bad, i threw some 235/50/18 Cooper WSC studded tires on it and i go anywhere i need to go. the occasional spin at a stop light but no problems
