Your front end doesn't line up, your hood and bumper seems to be off a little. Not a fan of the black out lights in the rear. What are your plans?

Yeah, the bumper needs to be replaced actually, and the hood just needs to be adjusted... I like the lights, I plan to get my rims next, and either black out my head lights(inside) or maybe go to 06 lights then black them out. I am looking for Stock LED tails then I will ditch my tails but thats down the road.

Step out of the 80's and remove the tail light tint. Other than that its just a STOCK z.

20 bucks at Checkers, restore your headlights lights man.. yellow is for bees @sses.

The black out, meh, but its something custom at least.... I get where yer comming from etc.. yer car aint mine, vis versa... and everyones gotta start somewhere.


stock wheels.. leave them for now. First things first.
Spacers if you must be cool.. haha... a great set of coilovers and a sway bar kit, check your front LCA and compression bushings. Even if you have to replace all, youre looking at 1500 for new whitelines all in yer fronts and a set of Stance LX coils inc install usually. New car..


The difference of enjoyment you will have on tap will be tremendous.

The z is a fickle car.. the normal mods youd expect to do arent always the best for the car.. its really best left alone in terms of NA parts.. anything you add will run u lean and only give back real gains w a tune.. and youre far from that.

Make it drive sick and lower it and get the toe and camber out of there.. you will have a sick quick car.

best advice i can give. its the ONLY thing 2 grand will give you on the Z that will be as noticeable.

Keep it simple man. Wish i did.

Meh... You will get there one day. All the cheap crap will come off and you will realize what a wast of money it was when you start getting some nice worth while mods. I sense your looking at some cheap *** black with polish lip wheels that you have no idea what the offsets are you just think they will look sweet....

Woah guys take it down a notch. Yeah he's got a 'mostly' stock Z but it still looks better than some. Everyone's Z was once stock at some point in time. OP, your Z looks good to me so far. I ran my tinted tails for 4 years until finally swapping them out with 06+ LED's. It's your car, do what you want with it.

Thanks man,
Wow people are quick to bash someone, I look at it like this... If I like it I'll do it. I don't understand why you guys think rims must cost 3K to look good on a car, I seen some of the rims people run on there Z's and am like WTF lol. I just was asking for some input lol... But I understand where everyone is coming from... I am in Euless, about 10min from Ft. Worth, I have thought of lowering the car but don't like the idea of my car getting ripped apart everytime I hit a dip lol.

Not a bad start. Some 06 heads/tails will look good. Think about a black roof overlay to match your white/black theme. Just do some research before you pick out wheels... it's all about the correct offsets

Edit: drop the Z on some tein s-techs or springs that drop it slightly less than an inch. That subtle difference looks way better and you won't be scraping and bottoming out on everything.
