Default Got my Z back today....

I got my Z back from the paint shop today. I had the Wings West kit and the Ti-Tek carbon intake duct put on. The fitment of the Wings West kit was pure crap by the way, but I'm very pleased with the way everything turned out.

I really wasn't looking for a kit, but I got it at cost. I couldn't pass it up.

^um its normal for rear to be higher than front, you would not want it the other way around

I'm not a fan of the WW kit at ALL, but fitament with Wings West is usually damn good. Sorry yours wasn't.

Any noticeable gain with the intake duct? Sound or performance?

good choice. yeah i got mine for free so i worked with it. fitment was ok. lower you car some more and you'll be good. i won 3 times at shows with this kit, well placed in the top 3 and they weren't half a$$ shows either.

see you know what the difference is in both your kits....on silver looks good. On that orange color it looks kinda weird, but hey beggars can't be chooser's. Although a tad out of place with the beauty of the Z the finished product looks good at least.

It looks like someone jizzed on your bumper in that 2nd pic.
Did you have the shop install the titek piece for you? If so, how much did they charge for that? I ask bc it's one of the easiest part to install & you could've saved some money.

I've got coilovers on the way to take care of the stance. I haven't really noticed any performance gains from the intake duct, but the intake is louder now. The shop put the intake duct on while they were painting it at no extra cost. Better to let somebody else take a chance on screwing up my bumper huh?

I didnt know WW was still around, wow. Brings back memories, for awhile they were killing the competition with their uglyass civic kits.

Front is decent/rear & sides gotta go!
