Yea, I've seen some members who have shaved it and it looks off. I'm going to be changing up the front soon, just haven't decided on which one yet.

Picked up my Z from the transmission shop on Wednesday and have been putting some miles on her. Love the way the new clutch and flywheel are working together. That "mild performance package" from Z1 is the shiz.

Which combo did you get? I'll be looking into a similar combo in the near future; sounds like you are happy with it.

It's their mild performance package which is a near OEM clutch and plate AND their own Z1 lightened flywheel.

Not a bad idea, and the muffler tip looks really nice.

Took her out for the first "date" / friends outing weekend night since getting her back. Didn't get her in full boost one time. Discipline FTW! I find it funny when turbo 4 cylinders swish their BOV at me. It's like they think they're 1 uping me because of turbo.

No offense taken, being a guy of Asian descent living/working in LA I've had my problems being stereotyped and discriminated by cops in every import I've ever driven and modified in any way... so with my DD Z I'm goin' for alot more subtle profile. If I drove around with your Z (which looks amazing btw) I would be pulled over within the first hour of getting behind the wheel doing nothing illegal whatsoever. Just life. Lol.

no worries. i understand. however i think you should have just left it stock. but it is your car!

*to the public eye* it looks like maybe one of the exhaust tips got broke off and you're to cheap to get it fixed

Yeah I'm just not a dual outlet fan unless it's true dual (which I may do down the road)

LOL I get what you're saying but if someone can't tell that my exhaust isn't stock (with the bumper tuck revealing no stock canister) hell if I care about their ignorant opinion lmao

The sound is spectacular, need to get a clip up eventually.

LOL I never had that problem when I lived in San Diego. It's not a racial thing, though. All kinds of people drive around in modded cars, and the cops are hyper sensitive to the cars because of all the laws and the ensuing issues with street racers and spoiled rich brats.

Anyway, I like the tucked bumper. I did that to my Z a few years ago and really like the way it looks. Up here in MN, nobody even knows any better unless you're a Z fan.

I think it just looks like a weak *** single exhaust import. Integra, Civic, whathaveyou. I'm with you, not feeling it either. Hey, it's good to be honest. Gives you alternate perspective.

Low profile? Lol It's a$10k car. Not a Ferrari. Noone cares about us.

Lol, I don't want to argue on forums or fill up this thread with more picture-less posts/replies. You guys are entitled to your opinions and I respect that
