Default New pics of the Z.. Need advice.

Well since the car is going in the shop this month for the TT install, I thought it would be a good idea to change up the look of the car. So, I sold my greddy kit, nismo wing, eyelines.. so here she stands naked for now:







Notice in the anticipation of my TT install I already cut out the grille :tongue:

Heres how it use to look:



Although I miss that look, I was getting tired of it So, my plans are to do a full bumper kit, something to show off the FMIC but at the same time keep it clean. I'm really liking the INGS+1 N1 Spec kit but I also like some parts of the Doluck.. I cant decide and I want to leave the Z wingless this time around.

What do you guys think?

IMHO, if you leave it "wingless" the INGS kit looks better since the nose is flatter. If you go Do-Luck the nose is longer and you may feel, as I am, like it still needs something on the rear hatch. I've got a plan though. I vote for INGS since I haven't seen any others in town and we already have 2 Do-Lucks (Cesar and I). Regardless, I don't think you can wrong with either one. You've got a great looking car.

Personally, I think the ing's kit is hot but instead of having the tail lights and sidemarkers smoked, you should leave them red and clear. Just cause I kinda think the whole blackout everything kinda takes away from the beauty of the Z. But hey, thats just my thinking. Your car is really gonna be nioce with the TT. Hope all goes well. Nice ride.

I'm guessing you got those wing holes patched up. I'm contemplating getting rid of my nismo wing, but idunno if it'd be worth the cost.

Thanks guys... I'm really leaning towards INGS.

Yes I still have holes in the hatch. but I have them plugged with 3/8 nylon hole caps and i painted them DB they fit nice. Its only a temp fix until I take it to the bodyshop where I will then have them fill the holes and shave a few things off the hatch like emblems, wiper..

Hey Ron, your Z is looking super!!! BTW which bodyshop did your work? PM me the info bud, thanks.

I was going to vote for the INGS as well but another option you could consider is INGS sides and rear and a different front. The front bumper is nice but i think its a bit too big. I like the look of Rick's car from STATUS. The redline Z with the INGS sides, rear and the cwest carbon fiber lip. Looks Hot!!!


OT: Also glad you too off the eyelids man, looks alot better w/o them imo

INGS is definitely hot, and I think wingless is the way to go. Looks very smooth.
