Read the thread Cat-daddy! I was talking about my homeboy Ztampa. I mean, the whole R/T thing was clearly referenced in my posts about Ztampa. You clearly stated that your personal best time was a 14.00 with a .4xx R/T. So, with me running 13.9's with better R/T's than you, it would have been a totally different statement.
Also, if your car looks better than this than you have one hell of a ride!

Haha, I thought you were talking to me..
But yea, my best isn't in the 14s anymore
I gotta say, I'm not diggin the wheels or the spoiler, but I do like the headlights - that's a nice touch.

Which wheels do you sport?

The spoiler is too vertical for me. The wheels, from the side view, look great, but directly looking at them, I just don't like the center part of it. But I do like that style (i.e. Work Emotions CR Kai). I have nismo replicas, so mine is nothing special either. Don't take it personally, as we all have different opinions on things.

As far as the paint, it was matched with my old spoiler(DuPont QX1) and was sprayed the same time as the daytona wing and you didn't seem to pick up on that mismatch. The problem with this 3 stage paint is the shadowing. If you look at the front view(pic), the right side is shaded so the lip isn't picking up any light where as the center is "flashing" because of the sun. Thats why a bunch of the cars that get ragged on this forum for not matching are PPW and SStones.
I'm sorry you don't like the spoiler.
The rims are OK, I should have got something with a big phat lip. I just couldn't find any pics of Z's with Volks on them. Thats why I decided to get the rims everyone else had!
Seriously, I wasn't trying to be a d!ck to that guy, but he thought I was talking to him when I was talking to my homeboy and he got snippy. And if his car looked better I would give him props but he hasn't posted pics and neither have you! ****, the cat put down his own wheels when he said,"ah there just nismo replicas" when I think there just fine(almost went that route).
Once again, thanks for the comments and concerns!

If you REALLY wanted to see my car, you should've just asked.. here's a link to it..
https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/186420-i-wanna-share-too.html
I think mine looks better, but you might think otherwise.. Mine's mostly stock looking and I added exhaust since those pictures.. Tell me what you think.

Definitely a nice car! I'll give you one thing, your pics are better!
I see you put clear bumper lenses in. You should put clear diffusers in the headlights, its not as scary as it seems.

I really do want to do that headlight mod, but I just don't feel confident enough to put it in the oven and seal them back up.

Also, I found a local guy to do the MREV2 mod so I'll give you details when he's done. We'll definitely go back to the track when I get that mod done. I'll PM you.

It took me about 2.5 hours to do WITH cleaning the stock upper and lower plenums. Maybe you should do my headlights and I'll do your MREV2.
Also, if you go to Ricks wed site(the guy who sells the diffuser) they have a install right up for the headlights. I followed it to a T and everything went well. Just remember to wear gloves.
One more thing, do you feel the MREV2 mod produced gains?
