Hey to each his own, as long as you like it thats all that matters.

+1 on the DB comments not being needed.

 

I just was curious what I have in my car right now and the overall cost, this list is not including what I previously purchased and sold up to this point. I am quite sure I am forgetting something. Its honestly too much damn money if you ask me. It just seems to goes little by little. I showed my wife this list and she about crapped. Saying, that could have paid off the wedding, my car and most of what we have left on hers. She is right what can I say.

Ohh, I am currently looking at the Top Seceret Robtura suspension setup, that would unfortunately add another 6K to the overall pocket depletion if I decide to get it. Damn my hobbies are soo expensive. I guess it's better than smoking crack

^dang dude thats a crazy list.

 

The front and sides looks good, but I'm not feeling the rear bumper either, and with such an agressive looking kit, the car definitely needs a wing.

 

I am getting tired of the kit honestly. I am moving to hawaii next feb, I think that I will have it there for about a year and then move to something ALOT more mellow, very sleek, not so agressive.

I have seen this kit with a wing, but I never saw one that the wing actually looked good with the kit.

This parts list is insane and it damn sure is extensive. I wonder why I do it sometimes.



****ohh wait, because I love my car

 

Here is what I am really considering after moving to Hawaii when I change things up.

Its the WALD body kit. I am going to go for the VIP look and get rid of everything I have on the car Might keep the rims though. Not sure yet.

 

Look man, you may get alot of negative comments on here...of course, but bottom line, the car looks pretty good imo.

Yes, the kit is busy but i really dig the underbite front. The sides dont do it for me, but overall, you did a good job bro. You made a good looking, different looking Z that few have and you came out with it not looking like you just moved up to the US from a Mexican border town.

You pulled a very aggressive kit off, good job.

PS. I think you have been through the entire Axis lineup...

 

Thanks for the positive remarks. And yes, I know Axis has emptied my pockets. I moved over to Maya now. Funny thing is, that all 3 sets of Axis rims came out to just over what I paid for 1 set of Maya's. Ouch!

 

the wald kit would look pretty sick...glad you like your car a lot but posting a list of parts and prices was so cardomain 6 years ago lol. sure, a lot of money but poor execution. anyways interior is straight and so is ur engine bay but if i ever saw that thing driving id laugh. just looks silly to have such a body kit on such a sleek car..i mean nothing flows with the lines. The side skirts look like they belong on a different car and the front looks like something from another planet. Do you feel emberassed driving around with such body kit? I don't get it. Maybe I never will but as long as you like it than thats all that matters

 

 

Lets see, the list post is because I get sick and tired of people saying RICE. I have maybe one or two things in my car that are not top of the line. It mostly stemmed from a convo on another forum, sort of a D**K measuring contest.

You know actually NO, I don't get embarrassed when I drive my car. The only people that really don't like it are Z enthusiasts. Every time I take my car out, I get compliments on how my car looks from random people.

Not that I live my life trying to make others happy but it feels good knowing that people appreciate what I have put together.

 

Man... I like everything on your car EXCEPT for the body kit... replace it with something more subtle and it would look awesome.

 

And she looks like this now.

 

sick.. a lot better than before... since you can afford tons of stuffs, have you ever thought about getting wheels with aggressive/crazy offset for the widebody..

 

Yes I have i am going to be putting on the new SSR's.






A shop just turned me onto these and there hella cheaper and 3 piece.

 

^ nice!!! what are the specs man?

 

That I dont know yet, I have to get with a shop to do some measurements. I am looking at 11's for the front and 13's for the rear but as I said meaurements will determine everying. I want to do a wide stretched setup.

 

If I had that much money to spend on my car. I think I would have a better looking car

 

Each to their own. My car is pretty hot as far as I am concerned. Nothing skimped on this project up to this point.

 

Love the new kit man!! I ended up taking off the Venom kit, the low clearance was causing to many problems So, it's back to stock body for now. I'm thinking I'll just do a lip kit for now though, at least, until I find another kit I like just as much

Just like you though, with the Venom kit, I had nothing but positive comments no matter where I went. Had random people always coming up and asking what it was, saying how good it looked, except other Z guys Most though, when they saw it in person, changed their opinion :P

Anyway, just wanted to say I'm diggin the new look!
