Payed a visit to Irving at APTech and picked up one of their Rocket Bunny style bumpers. I'm happy with how it looks and I got my APR Performance splitter installed, which thankfully I was able to use all of my existing holes that I had drilled. Another benefit of this bumper is that the splitter now sits parallel to the road, which it didn't with my old bumper. All in all very happy with how it looks, now just waiting on some switchback LEDs to install, some mesh to help protect my radiator, and some longer support rods from APR Performance.

Even though I know I'm going to get some hate for this I just wanted to share it, because I think it turned out well. I sanded out the curb rash on my wheels using a dremel with a flap disk then used one of the dip your car, plastidip, wheel kits. I know everyone ***** all over plastidip and say it looks cheap, but I personally think the end result with my wheels looks much better than what they were prior to painting. Seriously, every wheel had curb rash to some degree, the previous owner apparently didn't like parallel parking. I know you can only see one wheel fully and part of another, but I'd like to hear some opinions.





Also just as an added note, the crash bar sticker bomb is just temporary until I can get the bumper and crash bar painted to match the car. I just didn't like the look of the plain silver crash bar sticking out.

Thanks, SR3s. Took a bit of work to get them to fit, but I'm happy. They feel sooooo much better than stock.

Oh no it's a friends, hoping some hp falls off and runs over to the z over the winter. I had the car in storage then he offered a bunk, i wasn't long spooning the z in there.
You know your rods, it's a 32 with some 33 parts. I'll send you some pics when we put it back together.
