Definitely sand the headlights! I also did this and it turned out perfect, but do remember you have to tape the edges in case you slip. You don't see very many brickyards around, it looks good. I also sort of like the infinity wheels btw. Also what ^he says. Only use the 5-30. It's better on our engines. Don't run out and change it or anything since one time it's going to hurt anything, but just for future reference.

What type of bumper are you thinking about? Are you just going to go stock again, or do you plan on changing it up a bit?

Great color! IMO the wheels look good on your car...besides, they're still Rays so they're better than any Discount Tire wheel. Like someone said previously, you've got to start somewhere. Take your time, do your research, and have fun getting to know your car!

Thanks for the oil suggestion, I live in Tucson AZ so its hot as hell and I always used 10w-30, but I will def go with the lighter one next oil change. Someone on here said that Royal Purple is bad for our motors, so will have to do some research on what oil to get, since motul is hard to come by in Tucson.

As far as the bumper not sure yet, found a stock one primed for like $200, might just get that...I do like the nismo style front end and a few other kits i saw, but since im not doing a full kit (ie skirts and rear) I dont know if it will look weird with just an aggressive bumper...i'll look at some pics and see what works.

Thank you guys for the good words...and yeah i love the brickyard, took a while to find that color. I really like the rays on it, i might actually take them to get refurbrished or whatever you call it, since they have some bad curbage from the previous owner. Also def looking into some spacers...doing some research to see what size spacer would be good

Agreed, tint is about personal preference but I love a brickyard with dark tints. either way you got a great Z on your hands, have fun with it!
