Go with the rims man.. I personally think the Z's body looks great stock. But the stock rims especially the 17" on the 03 are extremely ugly. If you're deciding between body kit and rims, rims first in my opinion! Body kit can always wait.

I mean..I could pull this off because it was '06 rims..but in your case, definately go with wheels+drop first.

Doesn't look rice to me. The '06+ rims are so much sweeter than previous rims. Nice Z.

1. Rims. 2. Exhaust. 3. Body kit.

Hell yeah! Me too. I'm waiting for probably April or even as early as late March to put on my Nismo 19's. Damn Jersey winters!

And for the OP, RIMS RIMS RIMS! Assuming you get some lightweight wheels, you will might actually gain some performance with looks. But the Nismo body kit only adds looks. Just something to think about.

Rims first. But please do not get factory wheels, no matter what year. Looks stock so you might as well get a kit with that money.

RIMS! I cannot tell you the difference my GT-S's made on my Z. I get stared at everywhere I go. I would go with 19's with a lip ... they look much better.

For everyone else thanks a lot for the comments I'll look into it. =)

Is that an Acura?

I don't know man, to me, certain people never learn to respect - hence will never gain it.
