stock front and side + aftermarket rear?
So it really bugs me that the front and sides of a stock Z are the same height off the ground but the rear is SO much higher. Has anyone done JUST and aftermarket rear to maybe attempt to level it out? Either a bumper or diffuser? Something not real aggressive, just to help it flow better?
Here is a picture of my car from the side to show you what I am talking about.

Where are your front and rear splash guards? No wonder the rear looks so high.
Getting a rear kit only will make the car look unbalanced IMO, even if it was something as small as Nismo rears.

Top Secret rear diffuser on the stock body will just look ridiculous.

actually think the usdm nismo rears will look good on a stock body. especially if there molded.

I'm not a fan of mud flaps on a sports car... I'm seriously considering the elia rear for my '06.

Paul (ART) is their vendor for Northamerica, he sells it for 490,00USD (unshipped I think)
There is also a Thread at the "marketplace"
