Default Teha99's Redline Z build

Never really had a chance to do a thread for my first silver Z but was advised to do so.

After two years I sold my 05 chrome silver base and purchased a Redline 05 Track edition.

Lowered on topspeed coil overs.

So far nothing else but have a few parts coming in on friday-saturday:

-Amuse front bumper
-Chargespeed bottomline Carbon
-TS carbon diffuser
-Racing hart j8 pro 19" wheels

Here is how she looked when I picked her up:

Those Konig wheels were not my style so I sold them and started saving for wheels. Put some stock wheels on and painted my brembos white with red lettering:

Paint didnt come out that great so I repainted them red and also replaced the pads with stop tech.

I know its all small stuff for now but in a week she'll look her best
Now to start saving for performance stuff. All I have right now is an AEM CAI.

You just had to go and get my favorite setup
Jokes aside, love it.

The red brakes look good, good call on the Konigs, good choice in future parts

Could you give more info on your current setup with that black lip thing? is it the EZlip? Looks interesting.
Looking forward to seeing your progress

Yea that cheap lip thing is made from garage door seal and 3M mounting tape. I just wanted a feeler as to how the bottom-lines would look on the red car. Obviously the real ones will look much better.

Also just ordered a set of blacked out 06+ headlights

I like how you went back to OEM wheels. People need to do this more often. Keep it going!

Lol thanks but time to get wider wheels

Just picked up the racing hart j8's 19" 9.5 and 11".

Also got my Amuse front bumper painted. In the process of fitting my diffuser and bottomlines.

Let me know what you guys think:

Thanks for the kind words.

The wheels have a polished lip. Do you guys think I should remove the plastidip on the lip and keep the spokes black?
