OMG...it's finally here! I just got back home (again) since I had to go back to Sixteen Customs to pick up my van (I left it outside the shop). Anyways, like I said, finally back home again!
Lemme just start of by saying WOW! I got SOOOOOO man looks on my way home! And boy did it feel good! I've been driving my 1992 Mazda MPV for the past 2-3 weeks and I honestly felt like I was driving a Lambo or something since the Z was so low!
Anyways, Ravi was going to be the first to see pix of the car since he's my boy, but Mr. b-b-b-b-B-UNIT! saw me on the fwy on my way home! So of course I pulled over since I wanted to hear his Fujitsubo exhaust (I didn't recognize him at the time!). Well, when I finally get out to talk, he says it's "B-Unit"! So I'm like "Oh!!!" I felt like such a retard!
Anyways, it was cool talking to you man, and I love your exhaust!
I'll be posting some pix in a few, so stay tuned!

LOL so true dude, I came home, put the front lip on, got kinda sad, and came online.. The fitment is like...IMO like 95% perfect, shop will def need to do some work. It annoys the **** out of me that the car looks "higher" with the front lip? I must be trippin, but it is black right now so maybe once painted it will drop the car visually.
I figured I'd peep the pics and be happy for the night lmao what a let down with no pics (all good).
You're probably high from the paint fumes over at 16
LOL Damn I can't wait, I'm sure the car is a STUNNER in real life...
Hope you're feeling better dude, and b-unit I'm gonna h4x0r your comp ni99a.

Okay, so here's the "final" set of pix at Sixteen Customs, and a few pix I snapped once I got home (I BARELY cleared the driveway!).
Here you go!
Getting final buffing done:
After final washing at Sixteen Customs, getting ready to go home!:
EDIT: I have re-measured the clearance AT THE LOWEST POINTS and have noted them in bold. Pictures don't accurately depict the clearance since they are not measuring at the correct spots!
Front lip clearance on the corners (about 3"):
Front lip clearance in middle (about 4"):
Sideskirt clearance, front (about 3"):
Sideskirt clearance, rear (about 4"):
Couple of shots before I put it in the garage:
Well, that's basically it (for now)! I hope you guys enjoyed the pix and the different stages. It was fun for me to tease you guys, and now it's finally done. I will be taking "professional" pix in a couple of weeks. In the mean time, the car is going to be kept garaged so that the paint can fully cure and I can get a clear bra installed to avoid the nasty rock chips.
Anyways, I'll post a link here to the new thread once I'm ready to post those pix.
Here you go!

Is that with the stock suspension? Or is your ride lowered?

You're right dude, LOL. I had the lip up wayyyy too far, so I adjusted it to match the lines.
After I did that, my Nike Dunks with 0 offset (lol I'm bored) barely cleared dude. YESS!
Hahahha I'm probably the only one here stupid enough to be happy about that.

When I had mine (as seen in the avatar) the front lip was repainted at least 6 times due to the car sitting so dam low. And the bad thing about it is if you raise it, you will NOT be satisfied because ypu have already seen it at its lowest point. All I have to say is put some money away for repainting and oh yea a clear bra does not help.
good luck...
p.s. dam I miss my z
