![Default](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
picked up my Z back in 2011. got her about 99% stock. she had some hideous wheels but was stock.
2008 Touring model 6MT
ditched the wheels, got a greddy ti-c cat back, a set of stillen intakes, the eibach pro kit springs and g games 99b wheels and
then picked up a set of tein coilovers, adjustable suspension arms, oem rear spoiler, stillen headers, aam test pipes, brembo break kit and slammed her. that lasted about another 6 months and decided it was time for a change....
sold the ti-c, sold the g games. picked up a set of CE28's a tomei y pipe and cat back. seibon cf hood. and that lasted me 6 months and decided to make some big exterior changes, some sound system changes, and some changes under the hood...

looks quite nice with your upgrades.
The previous wheels remind me of the wheels that are on my car currently which came with the used deal... they aren't great, but I don't see why everyone rips on them so much
.
Just looks over the top and kinda bling bling shiny .

Can't imagine the kind of money you have put into this thing. That body kit alone must have been a ton of money. It looks good. You can hardly tell the front bumper isn't an exact match. I'm surprised you went with looks over power considering the car is already pretty sexy looking.

I originaly intended to buy a nismo, i have loved the look ever since they were released, but couldnt pass up the deal when this was traded in, got a hook up for paint work and got a deal on the parts from Nissan so decided to make it a clone. i'll do more go fast soon. and its funny that you bring up the color match, its only the front that isnt perfect, the rest of the kit is spot on...
