Exactly!!! I hate putting miles on it so much that I ended up buying another car so i wouldnt have to drive my Z everyday!!!
It's very strange but I feel like I have put so much effort into the car that it needs pampering.

Not far behind I'm at $44K with about $ 4 more to go Lambo doors and more suspension work, No stereo or engine work but I have to stop there. Just plopped down a deposit on another base Z to build on.... It all starts over for me but I'm loving it. Soon there will be MR & Mrs SSA , Chrome Silver N/A Veilside and a Super Black Supercharged Vizage Z.

You live in So cal? You email already to do the Z meet and run we are planning? I would love to see those Lambo doors, actually I probably shouldn't since i am like a kid on crack and always am looking into new mods. I started from the inside and am moving out. But would love to see the exterior mods even if the lambo doors wont be done in time for our meet. Look it up at the regional So cal forum

well, i have everything listed in the signature....
but, the new stereo is going to have alpine rear speakers as well, possible a new alpine screen to replace the one in there, and potentially a 5.1 surround sound processor (doubtful though...i don't use the dvd player enough to spend the money on one of those). i'm not sure if i should go with a farad cap....i don't think the stereo will be using enough of the battery to dim the lights though. i wondering what else i can do to accent the stereo??? maybe some neon in there for show purposes??? custom grills will be made to cover the subs. the installer still doesn't have a design completed. he's waiting till the car is brought into the shop and we sit and design something. it should be fun though!!
(oh yeah....the rims are on hold! haha....had to put those on hold for certain reasons)

I'm getting the real lambos" The Diablos" done by the GT Factory in San Diego. These doors go to a full 90degrees vertical not 45 degrees like the rest. I' ll see you at Stillen this Sat. and then the car goes to San Diego for the install. In the next few days before Stillen I'm hopeing to get UR pulleys and Techno SQuare Ecu installed.
BTW have'nt heard anything on the meet for you?

are you getting your door panels redone as well? they are too wide for them to go up 90 degrees...they need to be made thinner. (well, at least his were).
maybe you are getting them so they pop out a bit and then go up 90 degrees???
i want my door to be custom done and go up like the koenigsegg. best doors i've ever seen!!! check them out (http://www.koenigsegg.com/index.asp).
i WILL find a custom fabricator make those for me eventually!!!

here's a picture of the AWESOME doors!
i WILL have these on the z!!!!
they don't just go up 90 degrees....they pivot....the corner isn't attached...it's attrached somewhere else. you'll have to go to the site to see them in action (i've seen a video...i'm just not in the mood to search the site...haha).

Kenwood Mp3 Deck - $250
LED Sidemarkers - $30
Nitrous setup (eagerly awaiting delivery)- $1100
And thats about it, so far, but then again I got the car in June. Plenty more mods planned, not sure what my wallet has to say about that though.
Did you guys know that you actually have to PAY the credit companies back???!!!! What the hell is that all about?
