Default Little bored yesterday, and had some new toys waiting to be put on...

had some free time yesterday so rolled out to my dads shop and put some new toys on the Z.

sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

first up was Stillen Long tube intakes.

then Thm stainless brake lines and factory Brembo's i had powder coated. yes i know they need the brembo decals still. they are still on order..

then threw in some Eibach springs and tossed some new rubber on it..

now just need camber and toe arms, an alingment.

next mods will be a clutch kit, cams and some long tube headers...

heres some pics..













From This...

Very,very nice.
A great understated look.
The wheels look great with your white car.
A OEM spoiler inthe back would look good.
But you know,I sorta like the design that was
originally penned.The spoiler was a after thought/
I've got one on my car.However,I've got other body
add-ons to compliment the spoiler.
You've got a very clean look.
Well done!

I don't see a lot of people rocking the nismo v3 kit. Usually its v2 or amuse front that I see the most.

Nice mods man. V3 kit looks awesome, though I'd consider maybe changing it up a bit. Maybe get V3 bumper, and a chargespeed rear, along with some subtle side skirts.

IMO,if you are gonna do a full body,do something different.
To be sure the Nismo kit is great.But,how many have you seen?
Do something creative!

Screw the OEM spoiler!
Wingless all the way!
Unless you decide to go through with the V3 kit.

If you want the OEM spoiler, i'll trade you hatches
I hate mine.
