Default calling all experts, help me investigate this Z's visual mods?

I like how this Z looks. Help me investigate what mods it has?


1) spoiler (Veilside V3?)
2) rims (size/make/style?)
3) side skirt?
4) anything else?

Cut to 46 seconds for a close up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUBF8SA_Q1A#t=46s

Thanks everyone.

I can't ID any specific companies on the parts but I can tell you that you missed the rear bumper. His is either aftermarket or has some add-on attached to the rear bumper.

I thought he might have a bumper mod. And opinions are welcome too, but I would greatly appreciate specifics if anyone has the knowledge. Mostly I want the rims and next the ground effects.

Zmindset, wow thanks for the detailed breakdown. Good job. Any idea on the rims, even just their size?

No idea what the wheels are, but I would suggest going with something smaller, lighter, and better looking. You also need a pretty aggressive body kit to pull off a big spoiler like that. bmccann101 is a great example:


Just my opinion...

as someone else has stated, yes you do need a bodykit that widens the car (hence the deep dish rims) in order for that big of a wing to flow with the rest of the car. i've seen a Z with a wide wing but no body extensions and it just doesn't look right. even in the video, the car width is stock and that wing overflows than the rest of the body.

I think a Vossen VVSCV3 wheel would look much better than those in the video. I've seen many 370's running these wheels and they look great with the right body kit/coilover combinations...

This is basically an ESPRIT kit minus front bumper and wing.

There are plenty of kits that take the rice cake before the ESPIRIT. Maybe look into the ESPRIT wing ( if you have the mula ) in my opinion its one of the best wings on the market .....ahh...some day...
