looks nice!

kevin8086 01-25-2011 05:31 PM

thank you. now i just need to black out the headlights and maybe a black vinyl overlay for the roof.

CATCHINZZZS 01-25-2011 05:37 PM

Yo the car looks great +1 in my book

of course, thats how i afford the Z and the boat. i live in a tiny travel trailer, haha. All joking aside, i did live in a new 28 foot travel trailer with my girl for almost a year. man that sucked but we always had nice places to stay wherever we went and didnt have to worry about a hotel.

Snakebite202 01-25-2011 06:56 PM

Love it

chuckd05 01-25-2011 07:58 PM

Looks good, but your front tire size is a bit off... should be a 40 profile, It prob raised your front end a touch.. but nothing too crazy..

also I think your front wheel looks further out than your rear wheel.. was the front really tucked without the 5mm? I'd throw a 5mm in the back too and it would look even better!

Red__Zed 01-25-2011 08:30 PM

love the black and yellow

need the 5mm spacer to clear the brakes. i wont need a spacer in back once i get some 305/30 19's

the fronts are the stock tires.

Chris_1 01-25-2011 09:53 PM

That looks great, well done sir.

sometimes since the rear cambers more than the front it creates that effect but I still see what you mean

Nonetheless car looks great Kevin!, just a few more touches like the headlights and you're golden

fairladyZ34 01-25-2011 11:26 PM

looks good bro

definitionxmk 01-25-2011 11:40 PM

Nice to see another yellow Z being modded... Lookin' great! What's next?

Junior370z 01-25-2011 11:44 PM

Oh snap! Another chicane yellow brother hehe! Looking good man! H&R spring drop the Z pretty low. How's the ride?

genki370z 01-26-2011 12:04 AM

i love how your ride came out, whats so funny is that varrstoen says that running a +22 with a 5mm spacer in the front will not clear BBK....obviously it looks like you dont have a problem with that lol ;)

phunk 01-26-2011 01:09 AM

i think the car looks great. im a little weirded out about removing genuine rays wheels to put on replica rays wheels, but we all know that having stock wheels kinda sucks.. i would also take replica wheels over stock. I think you should have used a wider front tire. I sorta feel like you didnt take full advantage of how much of a performance upgrade you could have while doing wheels/tires as if you had selected more aggressive tire sizes.

but either way, she looks cool.

Black out the headlights and maybe a roof overlay then hopefully start saving for a supercharger.

Actually i was wrong, the car was lowered when i bought it and i spaced it when i wrote that. It is lowered on Eibach springs. they are not very low at all and the ride is very nice.

It all depends on the tolerances of the car and the wheel. cars are built and there are a certain level of tolerance allowed and im sure it's the same with the wheel so it's a hit and miss thing. it did fit but i probably could barley fit a piece of paper between the wheel and the caliper and that kinda scares me so i ground down some of the caliper. I didnt really want to do anything to the wheel for integrity reasons.

If anything i would get a 6 or 7mm spacer and everything should be just fine, a close fit still im sure but you shouldnt have to modify anything. well you would have to change the wheel studs with anything more then a 5mm spacer. im kinda on the fence about using the longer studs with the 5mm spacer because of how much thread im getting on the lug nut is borderline.

Kevin the set up looks good. I see that you are in Austin. You will have to come out to some of the cars & coffee meet that we have. Anyway, very nice. :tup:

i will, i missed the last one cause i was waiting on my wheels to show up. ill try to make the next one.

ClemsonWill 01-26-2011 03:20 PM

Looks sick! I really like the yellow stripe on the wheels.

Paul_S 01-26-2011 03:20 PM

I love it :)

I'm thinking of doing something very similar to mine. It's good to see someone else try it first!!!

TypeOne 01-26-2011 04:32 PM

Not a huge fan of the yellow line... but the fitment looks good.

+1

Gunzero 01-26-2011 08:29 PM

varrstoen is cool :)

thanks, i wasnt sure about it. i asked a bunch of friends and we couldnt decide so i said f it and just tried it on one wheel. i really like it. the wheels look good without it but it was just to dark, they didnt really catch your eye. with the line there it lets you see the wheel more and you can see how big the wheel is. im really happy with it.

cheshirecat 01-27-2011 09:36 AM

I think the stock wheels look better, but I like the yellow stripe.

Chris_1 01-27-2011 11:09 AM

I keep looking at your car and it looks great, BUT like you said you were going to do. The headlights stick out SOOOOOO much now, b/c you have like this nice black and yellow theme and man will it look sexy when you black out the headlights.

thanks, i hear what your saying about the headlights. it's bothering me as well but i just havent had the time to do it. i want to make sure i dont rush it cause i really dont want to have to do it over.

Chris_1 01-30-2011 12:05 PM

The way your going, I doubt you could rush it. You have good taste, stick with your ideas.

kevin8086 01-31-2011 08:27 AM

ok, more pics added. i started blacking out the headlamps yesterday. i got one done and plan on finishing the other one today. i also painted the bottom of the spoiler, the feet or pads of the spoiler.

thanks, i appreciate the comment.

Are these replicas of the Volk TE37?

Chris_1 02-08-2011 06:00 PM

Yes they are, but they are pretty good quality. I guess at the end of the day as long as your not running volk stickers lol, its acceptable in my opinion. I think they look awesome, and glad they make good offsets for these cars.

CrownR426 02-08-2011 06:00 PM

Looks like Killerbee's Z.
lol, nice rims, could've gone much more aggressive!

kevin8086 02-11-2011 11:18 AM

i agree, i would not put the volk stickers on them. when anyone asks i always tell them what they are.
