Hey guys i've been looking at the forums for a while now looking for inspiration for a make-over. I took alot of the pictures in here to give me ideas. I obtained my Z in spring and it is completly stock except the 17 inch Enkei CDR-9 wheels and an ugly chromy grill in front (bought it that way). It is an '03 Lemans Sunset.
I'll be changing the wheels and body kit. I think the car is already lowered an inch 1/4 if i am not mistaken. Here are the choices i came up with:
Body kit:
- Nismo V3 (or with V2 front bumper with black lower part and black canards)
- Carbon fiber front lip with nismo replica sides and rear add-ons
- Nismo V3 spoiler
Wheels (all 19's):
- Vertini Fairlady
- Volk Racing TE37 (silver)
- Volk Racing CE28N (silver)
- Axis Penta (Hyperblack)
- R1 Racing Drift (Black gloss)
- Avant Garde 310 (silver)
- Avant Garde 364 (silver or black)
For the moment i'm still not sure and i know the final decision will be up to me but it would be nice to have opinions from others also so that i can confirm i'm not crazy with my tastes haha!
Thanks!

Ok, well in that case buy the new replica amuse kit that just came out, volks, drop on coilovers, and turbo the ***** already. I asked because a lot of posters on here mod the hell out of their cars when they could have probably paid it off with all the mods they have done.
paid of car> mods.

I understand what you mean marques1 it happens frequently on all forums. I'm not making it a race machine but i would like a make-over. Just wanted a second opinion.

The amuse kit looks awesome and i will seriously consider, I would be the only one here in Quebec to have this kit i am certain which would be cool but fiberglass...with the roads here in Quebec it'll break 2 months after install. That's why i was looking for carbon fiber or FRP or whatever material that could be tough enough.
With a kit like this though i should almost consider having 20"s so that the wheels don't look too small...which would mean fender rolling if i want some decent tires for a comfortable ride? If i'm wrong somewhere feel free to correct me.
Toby's choice is pretty good i didn't consider the rear diffuser and would probably make it easier to install and no paint in the back if i take carbon fiber.

Ulitmately its your car. You shouldnt ask what other people would do. I built mine with what I like. I think LS is an awesome color. Almost ordered it instead of DB. You will find everyone has different opinions. After my own failures I will tell you never go the cheapest route if at all possible. Its always come back to bite me in the butt
. Eitherway you go, good luck.

Thanks for the tips people. In spring or summer when i will have made the changes, i'll post up some pics for sure so you can see the results. I'll add a nismo exhaust and an ACT clutch later in the summer as well so look for it!
