im all for "your car whatever floats your boat" blah blah but this is the reason why we see more riced out Zs out there. Please do more research and maybe you'll understand where im coming from. But if you really like it then go ahead, its your car.

if your aftermarket wheels is a downgrade from stock.......then your doing something wrong lol

never been a fan of tanabe it just sounds rice.

you dont really need to go widebody to make the Z look great.

i dont like the do luck kit either.

when you put the car together try not to get all the crap that has been done here before. Mix and match pieces.

some guy made a body kit website somewhere in the forums. you should look into it.

OP: Those wheels are gay, don't get them.

some wheels may look good off the car, then on the car they look terrible. Thats how some guys ruin a perfectly looking car. You have to visualize them on the car in order to achieve proper execution.

Yeah, definitely understandable. I'm just thinking of how I can do that. They look so good, but then someone has a different colored version and they look like ***(No offense to owns that Z). I'm just struggling to find that perfect balance.

haha yea, you just need to do more research like i said multiple times already. So stop posting on this thread, go thru as many threads concerning aero kits, wheels, etc. then come back when you made your decision. you'll be okay.

May I suggest these rims, then get a good set of coils, camber kit, A arms. Drop the car then take pics and repost here. then we can help you decide on body kit and/or lip kit.

Can you at least help with what I want to do? All I want, is for my car to look good, make people go 'Nice car", and have something I can enjoy everyday.

Total idiot move on my end, I didn't even think about the Do-Luck kit.
That kit and those ungodly wheel are not the way to impress anyone if that is whats important to you. I wouldn't put that **** on a Civic.

I fap to the Do-Luck kit on a daily basis. Hopefully one day I will just be able to stand next to my car and do the same.

Engine: Again, time will tell...

I've always felt I go with a show-ish car first, and then go for a engine changes.


Body kit- You probably could be patient and find a decent used replica kit that is already your color for that. Do you intend to do the install yourself?

Wheels-Your budget will not even get you a decent reach around. At least take your Z out to dinner before f cking it. I'm a Volk ***** so I'm very biased here. I hope this doesn't include tires, also

Exhaust- 1500 is IMO overkill, take some of that and put it toward rims.

Body-kit: Up to $1,500. With that you first choose I could see that even being authentic. Youll have to go replica if you go with an actual full kit outside of a lip kit.

Paint: Looking at around $2k if you get a full kit( rear bumer, side skirts, and front bumper)

Wheels: $900, does that include tires? Look in the private sale section...you might be able to get some rotas with tires for around $1200-$1400
Suspension: with your budget I would get some springs( around $200-$300)
Exhaust system: You can find a nice used one for less then $1k..HKS, nismo. Use that extra $500 for rims, paint, or kit, youll need it.
