Default B.Hibbs Photoshoot: My chrome silver z

Well ive been on this board for a short while and ive had my car for about a month and a half now and figured it was time for a photoshoot.. My good friend Brain HIbbs (which the Nashville guys should know) snapped the pics for me. The car was stock when i got it, its a 03 base with leather, 6 speed.. Ive added the wheels, SSR SP1's 18x9 31et front and 18x10.5 35et rears, H and R race springs, Greddy front lip, Lamin-x yellow headlight film and thats about it besides a Nismo shift **** and a CAI also a grounding kit i made. I plan on doing much more to the car in the future but im loving the car so far.. Now on to the pics.. Comments would rock, good or bad. This is my first attempt at a Nissan, ive had many Hondas, and BMW's so let me know what you think. Laters

what camera/lens combo? The first few images posted look a little soft. Wheel shot is nice, though.

I think it looks good. If it wasn't painted(flat black) that would be different.

It gives the car the supra look. You all know the look. A lot of the supra guys run that one lip, painted and unpainted.

Its your car. Do what you please. I really like the style.

I would have to agree that if the lip were the same color as the car it would look even better. Looks somewhat like your car is rockin' a beard man. If the front lip piece didn't extend up on the sides you would have been able to pull it off a bit better imho. But again, to each his own if you like it run with it.

Very nice pics man !!!

Lip kills the whole look. The wheels and drop and headlights look freaking great, take off the lip and take a look at it.

if you maybe did a whole lip kit and it was all flat black it might look better, or just paint to match as said above

I didn't like the yellow head lights at first, but it growing on me.... something different in a realm where a lot of people's rides look the same.

Good start man, keep it up.

going to throw out my opinions..

there are 4 shades of color lights on your car.. not my cup of tea..
did you buy that lip from someone with a blk z?
i guess im old school and like to keep clears on the front and red on the rear

lip doesnt flush too well

nice rims

Thanks for the comments.. First off i hit a dog and cracked the front bumper and i was on a limited budget so i picked this lip up cheap brand new. The shop i work at has an account with options auto saloon so i got it cheap. It came shinny black. I was gonna paint it but my whole front bumper needs to be painted due to rock chips, so its gonna stay black untill i buy the aerosync bumper which is what i wanted in the first place. Im also getting tinted bumper markers since i hate the orange, just havent had a chance to change them out. Also thinking about getting some spacers for the wheels or selling them and going with some 19's.
