The body shop chipped the paint in a couple spots. I'll be taking it back up there later this week to get fixed.

Thanks for the comments. The wheels are my project for next year. I'll have to wait for my tax return before I can consider some rims.

What I thought was pretty funny was my trip back home. The light turned green for both directions, so I started going. The guy from the opposite direction didn't move or anything. He was rubberneckin' so hard starring at my car.

One thing I did notice though about the install. I'm missing 1 screw from the from lip, and 1 screw from each of the under spoilers. I'll have to swing into the body shop to take care of this.

i think the car looks horrible without some sort of wheels on it. I know you say wheels are your next project, I just think you did it backwards. Wheels [THEN> Body Kit.

It's a little thing called $$$$. My ex was a money vacuum. So I'll eventually get around to it. Thanks for your words of wisdom.

Very nice. The shop did a good job and matching the paint. You do need after market wheels, but it's pretty expensive. Here is my Z 03 CS with Rep Nismo

Z PHAT Z,

Your car is sweet. I love the carbon fiber hood and the kit.
