After seeing the kit w/ the 06s, i cant justify spending the $$ on wheels when this car is only 2 months old and has a basically brand new set of tires on it... when i have to replace the tires, then i will prob go with the gtcs... til then, im 100% satisfied.
To each his own.

After looking online, some look great w/o em and some look like butt w/o em. I think its all about the color - personally, i like this as is.
I thought about dong the middle piece black ( i think theres a thread on here where a guy went back over his and blacked it out) - thats what i was planning on doing if i didnt like the front. As of right now, im keeping it as is, tho i might black it out down the road if i see another db with the center black and like it better.

man tha car looks great!!! im just having a hard time looking for some wheels for mine! with that black car, you have to pick an exact perfect set of wheels to make it look right, yanno. i cant find the PERFECT wheel for that color, i do wanna do black with chrome lip though in an 18x9 front 18x9.5 rear with a 4 inch lip rear. i love the V2 Front Bumper, that's the exact one Ive wanted, just a lil high, but it's a Z right, go all out! when is there gonna be another Z meet? man i signed up to go to the track that night, but hell i got lost trying to find it, so i cruised back to Mississippi!

im not sure when another meet is going to happen - the z day is an annual event, so as for that same show it will be another year (arrghhhh - and me with my kit 3 days later!!!) Me and ray at pat peck (the guy that threw this one) go way back, so ill ask him what is going on locally when i see him - ill see him prob mon or tues of next week... even if there isn't anything scheduled, i know a few ppl here w/z's that didn't attend the show; hell, if we can get up enough interest maybe we can start something up on a reg basis... As for the v2 on a black z, there is a local guy that ordered and got his kit a day after i did and its going on a black roadster - from what i hear he has the kit but hasn't decided on a shop (IF YOUR READING THIS GO TO COLLISION EXPERTS!!!) - either way, it will be riding around here in the next month or so so if i see him around ill get some pics of it on his car and send them 2 you.

I like it with the stock wheels, its not like its a aftermarket body kit...its the nismo; Essentially factory add on. Don't get me wrong would look better w/ a set of 19's and dropped...but I think it looks very nice and could come from the factory like that.

This is what I was thinking about doing to my 07 when I get it, since there are no decent lips for the 06... assuming the front end on the 07 will be the same as the 06. I love the v2 bumper without the canyards... all one color, looks clean. Except mine will be Magnetic Black, dropped and swayed with Hotchkis with some Volk GTS and 35% tint... and no wing. Atleast, that's the vision in my mind... thanks for posting the pics, it helps me visualize my own dreams a little better.

Like i said in a previous post, theres a guy locally that has a black roadster that ordered his kit the day after i did... he has it already in in his hands but hasn't decided on an installer. When he gets it on ill see if hes a member of my350z, and if not ill get him to join and/or take pics and post them here myself.
Oh, and he got the cannards and v2 wing. i think hes waiting on the carbon insert for the wing though..
