I'm on the fence about them. The stock ones are damaged anyway so I'm thinking of an idea to widebody them. Well see what I can come up with.

Me either! I'm having issues getting the kit I want. The place I ordered from said they had it in stock, and needed to order in the spoiler I wanted. A week or two ago, they said they got the spoiler in but somehow didn't have the kit I ordered. I'm hoping they can figure this out asap or I'll cancel the order and just order at enjuku. The good news is, it all went though PayPal so I'm protected.

Thanks man! Yeah I dont really care for them that much though.

Got one or two things done yesterday. Played with my interior and slapped on some spacers.










Finally got the tracking for my body kit and spoiler, it should be here sometime next week!

I'm curious as to what is the deal with the stretched tires? To each their own, I'm not bashing ya just curious. I've seen them on other cars here, just wondering what the point is. Maybe I'm just getting old?

yes, i did, but i dont remember them being wider. i think just just overlay.
and their price is on the high side for a curved piece of metal, i might aswell get garage mak for that price.

I thought they were wider but I may be mistaken. Yeah they're expensive cause their from Japan and a well known company.

Huge day yesterday. Got everything in the mail this week and managed to get it on all in one shot.

I'm still really tired from that so I'll let the pictures do the talking. I learned a lot from taking everything off and mounting stuff so if anyone has any questions about my kit or how I did something, feel free to ask.

Before you drill the holes for your wing, I would more it as far back as possible where it should be.

With the width of the base and the angle of the hatch, that's as far back as I'm willing to go. It barely sits flush there. I've seen setups with this wing in about the same place.

No way to move the wing back from there? Looks kinda funny that far up imo but hey that's just my thoughts. The kit is pretty good looking. And I oddly like those fenders, normally I like a clean look but those are a different and nice look

Yeah Im still on the fence about the fenders. I was hoping they'd be wider like the seller described but they aren't :/ it kinda makes me want to pull and widen my stocks or work on flareing them out but they are fiberglass so its a pain.

As for the wing, here are two examples of how others did it. The one guy is still running his stock wing.

That actually looks really good. It might look awesome with a rocket bunny/duckbill wing underneath!

Yo,
I'm - Iamthecage225 with the ginger Z.

With regards to the wing, If i was to do it again ( Which I hopefully will be able to this year) Is to remove the OEM spoiler and sit the Megan Wing further back.
Only reason was due to not wanting to leave the old spoilers holes exposed (Didn't want to pay for a boot respray yet)

It fits okay, but the feet never sat flush. It may look flush, as I used black silicon around the feet to fill the gap. I got that advice from the Silver owner from the image above.

Any questions though, fire away.
