lol you already got that off your chest a while ago. i just didnt listen to ya

j/k i took the flaps off a few months back to see what it'd look like and found that the paint had worn away at some of the contact points. it was very noticeable without the flaps on. basically if i were to take them off i'd have to repaint the bumper. also, IMO the bumper needs to come down lower to look right...especially to balance with the front lip...but i do agree with you that the stock rear flaps might not be the right pieces for that job. i'm looking at alternatives now.

besides they're splash guards not mud flaps so that makes them cooler somehow right? lol.

you could go with the top secret splash gaurds... I like the stock flaps in the front...but not in the back. Top secret's arent bad though. Actually look pretty good.

My first post on this forum (so you should feel privilidged it's in your thread!) and I must say, that Z is absolutely stunning! I love gunmetal wheels, and those just look great. The lip and spoiler compliment each other very well, too. Congrats on having a great looking car! I know I'd be gawking at it if I saw it at the beach too.

you have to remove the emblems to get the stillen wing on. the wing covers that entire area. I put the cf z emblem on the spoiler.

That Z is sweet !!

Exactly what I want to do to mine.

I was looking at some Volk GT-Ps ( they look similar to your wheels ) and where did you get that rear wing ?

Stunning car

Tell me more about the wheels man. Those are my new favorite wheels as I luv them. What are the sizes, tires specs and where did you get them from and for how much. How is the ride?
