When I took Jimmy to get his car, I scrubbed the hell out of my lip on that steep entrance. I asked Jimmy how you got out of there and he told me you go out that entrance.

I don't see how bro. I go in angled and it barely scrapes.

this thread is making me feel like the 350 z just came out again.

single exhaust on a dual made set up rear end looks bad. Only works with the Supras!


But for some odd reason the blue rims looks amazing. not to sure with Orange color Z though.

i'd go black rims due to the fact that it would match your Black and Orange look already. "theme it"

then what IIIIII would do is split the head lights and paint the chrome black. Then it would be complete.

I think there's a pic of one here https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...light-mod.html

Buddy of mine just recently painted my headlights a low gloss black, the only chrome that was left was for the hi-beams. I really didn't want to lose my high beams.

The only reason I am hating on the gloss black is because it makes the rims look "non-existent" on the car. You can't see any detail of the rim and also its played out on the LS, just trying to do something different.

A friend suggested to paint the rims blue and color match the lip to the car which is another idea I am toying with.

I guess I will make a separate thread with a poll to get me more influenced on the color. I am kinda torn between the two.

Well that would be in the 03-06 head light. But is it me or in some of the pictures you have the 08 head lights?

I'd grab the 08 lights from a yard, or someone selling them. I think they look better then the older styles specially on the older Z's.

the rims looks better with the color it has stock.. IMO

EDIT: a second opinion after I looked at pics again: I think they need to be matte black..

ehhh I don't know about matte black. a bit of gloss on the black and it would be better.
