I like the look of the single air duct. I didn't like the "uneven-ness," but only initially and it's functional (I think) and it's a good contrast, imho. I've an air duct on my Z for quite some time, so maybe I'm biased.

There was a member on here with a V2 and an air duct. I think his username was 97supratt or something; he doesn't post much anymore but he's had 2 Zs, I think.

Thanks guys, I dont have many more pics.
Sadly theyre no longer white, they were just Plast-Dipped and it got stained so I had to peel it off and wasnt able to find anymore to re-do them white, supposedly its discontinued.

NA&CH, any more pics on the RGII's? Sizing?

Ive got a pair of 18x10 +25's and im debating if I want to keep them gold or get them powdercoated something else when I get my RPF1's done.

yea, I liked the white way more but it got grease on it, I decided to leave it there for weeks, and it ended up staining the plasti-dip and started eating at it so I had to re-do them.

I just picked this up 2 weeks ago. so far i've changed the tails out to stock 03-05, buffed the wasted (still trashed but a lot better) stock hid headlights, did some maint on it (plugs, oil change, trans fluid change).

After winter it will really be taking shape.



Then it started doing this on it this morning.



Some really nice PPW cars in here, I have a lot to go up against.. haha

Hey laserred, is that a carbon fiber Hood? Don't be sad, you're on your way. Save those pennies in the off season

No, the hood that was on it had same hail damage that wasnt fixable so I picked this hood up off of a forum member for dirt cheap. Its a mint, satin black hood (not primer, actually satin cleared).. i'm getting it sprayed once a few other things are on the car.

debating getting a new front bumper, the PO did the intake cut but i dont think its a real vent, it looks like he took small black plastic and made the cuts in it himself... it doesnt look as ghetto as it actually is.. i hate it

It's going to be a pain in the *** getting a new hood and front bumper.
Especially if you have to repaint it.
