thanks!! black on black is extremely played out. I think I'm gonna end up painting these next summer, or I may pick up a set of mb battles for cheap and paint those.

Looks good.. Looks like you got the rear wiper off? I think it'd look cleaner without the eBay lip. You should take it off and snap some pics.

Not trying to flame but man I can't stand those wheels and blacked out taillights. Maybe it's just because I also own a black Z and I am going in a different direction than you. Good luck with the build though.

Personally, I think you need spacers in the rear. They sink in too much. But overally, I like the car. Looks clean and functional.

In all seriousness, I know you like it the way it is, but if you lose the black tails and that eBay lip it'll look 100% better.

Also, I'd lose the hatch spoiler and get a stock lip spoiler, but eh.

^once again, the lip is permanent. I didn't get a choice, I bought the car with the lip permanently attached. and I kinda want to buy 06 tails.

You're never gonna please some of the people some of the time and you're never gonna please all of the people all of the time. As long as you're happy with the mods you've done then that is all that matters, for a student working part time you've done a better job than some people working full time and have no taste at all. I agree with a previous comment about using the forum for ideas but ultimately its your car to do with it as you see fit.

somethings a little off on the stance, its like you wanna go hellaflush but your not fully committed to it. its like it stuck in some kind of stance limbo...you want the look, stretched tires and low. but dont want the camber, poke and rubbing to go along with it. i say you pick a side and commit to it. other wise it just dont look right.

Very Nice progress for a kid who works 20 hours a week. Hows the godspeed camber kit treating you? Oh and you could of gotten SPC rear camber kit for about the same price check out the private sales section too.

I have SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts, not godspeed. sold the godspeed to a friend cause for how low I am I really couldn't get close to where I wanted my camber to be. I am now at like -.5 degrees of camber with 265/35 rear tires.

My friend had Godspeed control arms and they broke when he was going ~70mph down the highway. Good choice getting rid of the Godspeed garbage.
