plenty of NA builds not hitting near 300whp with many bolt ons.. but then again you did say "hoping to hit 300" so maybe you are right. we all hope for that with NA setups..

as a sid enot im drunk and bitter from the SuperBowl lol

Thank you, Mr. Sparco. Z looks great with the wrap.

I also ordered a driver door panel switch finisher today from Concept Z Performance. Interior is almost complete.

Don't want to then the answer is unless you have the money, don't! Should be one of the last mods you do...

Enjoy chasing the unicorn...

spencer, your thread jacking like a mad man, please post these questions in the proper threads.

This is a fun thread for members to post " things they have done to/for their Z today"..
wed all ask that you please respect that.



@ taywan,

the wheels are 20x9 +18 and 20x11 +20.
My effective fitment after said hub and wheelcentric spacers will be 20x9 +8 and 20x11 -18
They fit our cars (w a normal body style) perfectly as long as you dont have a BBK.. i had to but 10mm hubcentric spacers w extended studs to clear my front Akebono BBK.. which is unfortunate but oh well.

otherwise they are pretty sharp and the fitment would be great.

Lol thanks.
Id agree they are nice LOOKING wheels..
But 19x13 -22 SSR Professors would be SICK.

These are nice for the dough..they're cheapies.. 2gs for wheels.. not necessarily the biggest bank breakers out there but for a second/ spare set they are indeed plenty good enuff fer me.
