Default New to forum, My '05 350Z Blackout

I bought my Z a few months back. I've done minor things such as blackout emblems and door handles, smoked rear tails, a new front lip, stubby antenna, catback exhaust, tires and 19" Niche wheels staggered 8.5/10 rear concave. The windows were already tinted when I purchased the car. I just put on the Zociety stickers, but I'm not sold on them yet. They may have to go, or change color to Red... Anyway just sharing my ride. Not interested in lowering because I can barely get in my driveway as it is. Maybe some wheel spacers, but no rubbing at all right now. I think next round on rear tires I'll go 19" 285/35 or 19" 285/40 to take up some wheel well space. These are 275/35. Front tires are 19" 245/40. What do you guys think? No racing for me, just smooth riding!

Meh, not bad, I'm not a fan of the "blacked out" look, just my .02.

285/35-19 would be the rear tire you want. Then a 255/35-19 would be the front you want.

I was thinking along those lines... Thanks!

Nice ride! Is that sitting at stock height. I'm trying to decide what wheels to get. And lowering is not in the plans.

I just made a deal with my neighbor yesterday to buy her 05 350Z with 3,400 miles on it. Unfortunately the car will need a complete paint job to make it like new. What the heck it's only money. LOL

Yes, this is stock height. Thanks for the like! I removed the windshield ZOCIETY. Just didn't rub me right. I'm going to delete the rear wiper soon. I also ordered an OEM spoiler which arrives this Saturday. I want to keep the smooth lines. It's just my taste. I like the V2 Nismo, but I really love the rounded booty of the 350z. OEM spoiler and deleted rear wiper should keep the flow of the body nice and smooth. I hope...

Going for this look.

I agree with you about the smooth lines. Heck my 240Z didn't have a rear hatch wiper. I will be doing the same. And I finally own the car.

Why does everyone hate the rear wiper?
People complain about it as much as they did about the door handles in '03.

I'm not saying the z doesn't look good with it removed, it does but I think it still looks good with it.

Every day is a Z Booty Day!!
I still have the rear windshield wiper on mine. Doesn't bother me too much actually.

Blacked out zs are difficult to pull off don't like most of the ones I've seen. Only been a few here on the forum that pulls off the look nicely, Robert K was one of the few.

An update on what I've completed since the last post. I've installed a rear spoiler, roof wing, JWT pop charger, and deleted the rear wiper. Photos included...
