You're assuming there's no plan for a removable roll cage??!!

I would hump your car, j/k....you have a beautiful Z, the cleanest roadster Ive seen, congrats. Are those Greddy side skirts? What kind of spoiler is that? Post some #'s when you get your engine issues taken care of and tune it....btw are your offsets +22? And did you have to roll your fenders?

Thanks for the props.
Those are Greddy side skirts and a Stillen rear spoiler. My fuel issue seems to be resolved too. My wheels are as follows:

19x9.5, +28, 245/35r19
19x10.5, +23, 285/35r19

To roll my fenders, my body shop used a shop heat gun to warm up the paint, used a "shop made" tool and hit it with a mallet. I have pics in my other thread, here...it took them about 30 mins total for both sides and no paint cracking on the exterior!
