Lookin good. Maybe get a polished Z1 intake tube and some polished zeetoyz caps or polished reservoirs.. Would add a nice touch to the engine bay!

Also, do your fronts rub at all?

I've just got to say what a turnaround from the first pictures you posted, I'm so glad you left the cannards off as they're more suited to Coupe's. I've never been that keen on roadsters to tell you the truth but this really does float my boat. The wheels look right, the bodykit looks right, ride height looks right and the photo of your engine bay, well you could eat your dinner off that, just a shame that I've read that you've let it slide a bit. Congrats on the work that you've done on it. The only thing I would suggest is that you fit a spoiler like the one fitted to Zamfields ZR (the post below this one) as the space from the end of the rag top to the end of the trunk seems out of proportion and needs to be broken up a little.

You've kept that paint in great condition. For someone that was hesitant on the lowering it, you certainly dumped it! Looking awesome...

Would I interest you in sending me some cuban cigars?

thanks man, yea its been quite a turnaround. finally have her looking the way she should. i actually spent all day yesterday cleaning her up and gave the engine bay some love also ive thought about adding a spoiler it never bugged me not having one either. my choice would probably something like these in order of preference.

That looks great!
I just added an "Aggressive" rear spoiler to my roadster...
Not bad for $260 painted!

I like it, I think the canards on the front look good IMO. And the black wheels before didnt fit the car, but if you would have dropped it, added spacers, stretched the wheels with some camber it would have looked fine. Again just personal opinion.

Get the INGs, rarely see it on the ZR. Cars looking great as usual man. Not so sure about the one above, looks like a Stillen wing shrunken down in size.

Isn't that a good thing??
It's a roadster, anything not shrunken down would like stupid.
I think this is a happy medium... it looks bigger with the roof down, honest!

Just not my taste, that's all, never really liked the Stillen design. Everyone has their own preference and taste. You may not like my style but it's down the owner and what makes them happy.

Agreed... would hate to see something that turned out that nice be spoilt with one of those huge spoilers, that just look odd... especially on a convertible.
