Many members here don't really care for cheaply modded zs, especially when it involves replacing functional parts. Better to save for quality mods vs a list of what some view as ricer fanboy type mods. Posting pics instead of a list usually helps, most are here to let you know their displeasure to also guide you in the right direction. When you get praise you've done it proper.

I for one am disgruntled and usually sitting behind my desk at work when I am on here, doing a job that I hate, that's what happens when you take a guy that's spent the last 7 years in Afghanistan and then put him behind a desk, I mean no disrespect(usually) but a lot of people do very tasteless mods to these cars especially younger guys who pick up a used one for cheap and a lot of us especially original owners like myself hate to see that crap, nice roadster BTW and welcome.

I'd rather get told that than people just telling me it's horrible. I have already put a lot of money into this car for only being 21. I did buy it used but I bought it with the cash I saved up from working.
I appreciate positive criticism, not hateful lol.
This is my dream car and I wanted to f/I it but I can afford that.

Did you want everyone to lie to you and encourage others to buy cheaply made parts? Especially one that replaces something as important as an airbag?

There is a difference in telling me that buying an aftermarket steering wheel is not smart and people saying ridiculous comments about kids buying these cars. right? Lets be serious here. lmao

Lol not sugar coated, just a little thing called not being a ****. Also before you continue on the whole sugar coated bullcrap. I am sorry for whoever pissed in your Cheerios but you don't have to act like that. It's kind of sad.

I need these to ward off any M3's, I don't want them knowing they can beat my z in the quarter mile.

How did you come across these? They remind me of putting a baseball card in the wheel of a bicycle to make it sound like a motorcycle.

Nice z, I also have a quick release wheel on mine but its more for ease of exit and theft difficulty increaser.
Mine is also an Italian leather wheel.


A cheap steering wheel doesn't deter me, big bling wheels in ghetto snowflake design does.

You plan to take your car to the track at all?
