Hi,

with my badluck, a lincoln hit my Z in the front, passenger side 3 weeks ago , so... why not go wild whit it

some pics and update

1. ebay fenders (230$) Dont buy, just BS, a piece of S**T with a mesh grill in the middle.. i replicate the design on the oem fenders, (i will post some pics when ready).

2. VIS Bumpers are good, not perfect but good value for money.

3.The Greddy side skirts seems right on, but 710$ for side skirts , that what i was expecting.

4. The Ebay CF spoilers from Taiwan (160$) fit PERFECT and was here in 5 days, Very good value compare to 450$ for a VIS

5. The HKS Exhaust..... Just WOW, Love it Love it Love it !!!!!... Shipped in 3 days in canada 2500 $. i know that doas not actually worth it and you can have a very good exhaust even better for under 1500$, but as a gift for myself and for the peace of mind. i am really happy with my buy

6. if anyone can tell me where i can find all the rubber trimming for the windows and the top. or just the name of it. i dont know what to order lol

7. OPEN TO COMMENTS AND ADVICES.. i have the car ready for anything for the next month

8. i should have a color sample for the end of the week (pics to come)

Subbed. I would ditch those sh1tty head and tail lights. Those will automatically make your car look cheap.

My favorite Z ever

A good start for a design

Put the Stancething a side and the look is near perfect

for the wheels i like the model i have now, just maybe in BBS with a red lip in 19 with eagle GT, this is my daily driver so confort is an important factor. like the Nessen S7.1 too for a bigger lip in red (candy like the car)

Hi,

I wanted to buy the same rear bumper, could you tell me if you needed any work on it for fitting or if it was straight working out of the box?

I looked at a lot of rear bumper, and to me it's the best one in term of look could you send me more pics of your car with it on it ?

Regards

Well I'm 50/50 on everything. Seems like you wanna matching accents galore.

Here are some options

Asuka fenders
JP type b side skirts...I think those are the correct ones
Different lights over all...or don't wire up the wanna be Audi LEDs
