damn that looks good! my only concern is how far forward it sticks out. doesnt look too bad in those pictures. Also, I guess ground clearance is another issue. Good looking piece though for sure. so tempting....

this thing is not for the faint of hearts for sure. you will have to change your driving ways. and you will scuff it for sure. i already did mine on my way out of the shop. ouch! hello stress marks. and just like anything, it takes a little getting used to. but it's all good! he he.

Yeah, I already have some decent driving habits as my last car was much closer to the ground than my z is. Do you have some shots that may give me a better idea how close to the ground yours sits? And what suspension are you running?

it's a good 3 inches above the ground, maybe more. it's just that it does stick out more than others that makes it more sensitive to steep driveways. i hope this helps. i'm running bc coilovers.

haha no kidding. The problem is that I live in Utah....I just cleared off 10 inches of snow off of my driveway this morning. So, I have kind of been relying on the 4wd of my dads f-150 I am strongly considering a move to santa barbara though, where I have a job and room waiting for me.....
