Default 12/6/2012 update

Finally got my baby back from the shop yesterday felt like the days would go by so slow but finally after a week of work i have it back. Here are some quick pictures i took yesterday while picking it up((not the best but will have to do for now)) Just my luck its been raining on and off though so havent really had a chance to clean her up good since i got it. Last picture is a quick one i snapped at the university today. gunna look for a spot tomorrow for some pics, along with some before and after pics. while the car was at the shop i covered my center console with CF vinyl since i couldnt stand looking at it all scratched up((i covered the shift **** to mess around ordered a new one on its way)). pics also below also let me know what you think..

I'm not into the chargespeed rear, simply because it looks a bit "busy" to me, but that's just a personal opinion. Other than that she looks great!!! I'm picking up my 04 ZR from the paint shop Saturday morning (Had a V2 nose, skirts, rear add-ons and a spoiler painted in PPW/installed) and I'll be ecstatic if it comes out anywhere near as good as yours did!! And post a pic once you add the eyelids!!!! I'm thinking of adding some to mine too, but I'm not sure how they will look in PPW on a ZR.

GL with yours im sure itll come out great too let me know when its out. waiting for them while there at the shop is the worst part. my parts were painted saturday and i woke up tuesday thinking i was going to have it but had to wait another day.

I think you're doing just fine. Everything comes in good time. Nobody has their car finished right away. I kind of agree the wheels aren't what I'd choose, but neither are the ones I'm running now. I fell into a good deal on them and they will "do" until I change them next month. Besides, the wheels will look much better when you drop the suspension and add mild spacers.

Take things nice and slow and remember less is sometimes more. I personally like a wing with a body kit. Nothing super aggressive but enough to "unsoften" the girly curves of the convertible's trunk.

Keep up the good work!

Oye pendejo get new wheels!!!!! They're making your car look like chit with that played out front.

How about that???

I wasn't being a dick when I said the wheels gotta go. But I guess you responded with what I had on my car. Guess what I had better fitting wheels than crap you're running.

Negative?? You obviously post here because you want to hear people's opinions...correct? I gave you my opinion. I'm not the only one thinking that you should have done something different. Pero como vives en Puelto Lico the debes de career un dios en ese carro....aqui no tanto.

You obviously care enough to share with us what you are doing and waiting for us to pat you on the back.

Idc if ppl tell me me wheels suck its whatever to me just the fact your first comment said start over then posting again change your wheels.. like I didnt see your message the first time. Ik that ima get negative feedback along with some positive ones not everyone likes the samething. And living in pr has nothing to do with this... there are way better cars out here then mine and I know it. And I also know its not the **** out there since I lived in ny when I first got it. Anyways nice car liked it with gold rims better dont know if thats how it currently is.

It's looking great!

What cf kit did you buy? It looks like a really good fit. I bought one too but didn't install it because the edges were just wrong.

I also agree a wing would be nice. The only one I like for the zr is the Celica style, which goes for ~$150.

Hey bro.... Car looks good!! It will be a long time before I am able to afford a body kit. Where did you order you CF vinyl?? Was it pre cut to fit the center console??

Overall,your roadster looks great.The shop did a great job on the fit of your new
parts.I'm not a fan of your wheels though.Inside,I gotta say the vinyl "CF" is an
improvement over the scratches.But,the real thing would look so much better.
Nothing works like red on a roadster!
