Hey guys I figured I should introduce myself. Ive actually owned the Z for 3 years but never joined this forum, just hear about it. I decided to join the forum so i can talk with other Z enthusiast.
Anyways I live in Charlotte, NC. I own an 2003 Enthusiast with now JUST under 100,000 miles Ive done a good amount to it. Nothing to major in my eyes, just a little different. I actually just finished the last project that i had planned for the car and i think it turned out great.
Hope to make some new friends and Z lovers here. Might even see some of you at either Import Alliance, or Zdays, or even Z Nationals.

p.s. Happy New Year!!

actually its a wrap, so my factory paint is still under all that. and it took about 5-6 days of 4-5 hours each day.
the exterior is not for everyone, but I (the owner) likes how it looks. And that's really all that matters. I didnt want to look like everyone else. I mean, there's only so many color combinations you can do with wheels and paint. So I figured that I would change it up a bit and do something completely different.

I get mixed reactions from everyone. Opinions are opinions and I respect everyone's opinions.

You need to take higher resolution pics of your car to get rid of that pixelation, lol

But seriously, welcome to the forum...

I dont usually like loud themes but this one I like, a beefy tire looks goes good vs a mega stretch.

ImLooMein why didn't you carry the theme across the entire car and leave off the CF? I think it is pretty neat. Happy New Year!

For being in the graphics/print industry, this makes me go blind.

From a visual standpoint it is very noticeable, but not my cup of tea. All I can think of are those wraps car manufacturers give there upcoming models when they go testing so the public doesn't know exactly what the end product is.

If you like it, that's all that matters.
