Default Winter project

Finally found out what i will put on the car, will all come together this winter and finishing up in spring but i would like a last opinion from you guys. I plan to to put on AMS widebody sideskirts and over-fenders, TS Mastergrade diffuser in the back but i am a little not sure about the front bumper. I don't want the full kit as the back bumper is a little too much for me

I'm stuck between the V2 and AMS front bumper. I've checked the angles alot if the V2 would work well with the over-fenders and it should be pretty good. Lower parts will be painted black or carbon vinyl (hate on if you want). I thought about the V2 because i wasn't sure about changing the hood as the AMS front bumper doesn't flow so well with the 03-04 hood.

As for wheels, i plan on getting silver ones with chrome lip, i thought of Advan RS-D, Work Gnosis GS4 or Volk racing GT30 in 19 inch, or maybe some GFG Scudetria (wheels next has a good deal for those)

I would like your personal opinion. I'll add that my Z is in Lemans Sunset color. No need to say "do what you want".

Thanks

When buying your wheels make sure you do enough research on offsets to avoid spacers!

I don't think you can rock the wide body w/o the rear bumper... you won't be able to use the stock rear bumper.

I have thought about it, especially for the wheels i have in mind since they come commonly in 15 - 25mm offset except for the gnosis GS4. I had also considered 20"s since around my area it's hard to get 19" tires without special orders i'll see to that once the whole plan is done.

Thanks for the reminder!

I looked into it and if you look at the over-fender line just above the diffuser it shouldn't be a problem, but i will have to enlarge about 1/4 of an inch or something close to that on the sides of the bumper close to the wheel for it to flow well, but i believe it should not be a problem
