Default Back to basics :)

So i had parted out my car, cause i was about to trade it in for a 02 bmw M5 i found for dirt cheap.. well when i went to wrap up the deal, they had sold the car a few hours before i got there. Pissed me off, but oh well. I just decided to keep the Z for a little while longer. Im not gonna do all the stuff i did to it before, and this is about the extent of mods im gonna do cosmetically this time around.

Work Emotion CR Kai 18x8.5 +30 / 18x9.5 +20 - In Work Metal Coat (black chrome)
Toyo tires 245/40 and 275/40 (may need to roll the fenders for the rears)
Veilside V1 urethane lip
Dropzone springs 1.5inch-1.8inch drop or so.
K&N Typhoon Intake
Varis Duct

Enough talk, onto the pix... its been raining alot, so excuse the dirty car.










Im not too happy with the way the fronts are tucked, so im probably gonna put a 5 or 10mm spacer on there to make it look a little nicer. Ill try to get some better pix once the rain stops.... damn houston "snow"

I never thought Chrome would look good on SILVER, but I stand corrected. May I make some suggestions?

1. Rear "350z" - take it off
2. Rear "NISSAN" - switch it for the Z badge like the front

Other than that I think you have the BEST lookin' Silve Z, period.

Can you show me a pic of the intake?

i would've thought you'd get 9.5 all around with different offsets and tires for the front and rear. Still looking good though!

Looking good! Are you satisfied with the drop because I know you had the Hothkis prior. Any camber issues?

I really want to go lower but the negative camber is the worst part. My favorite wheels where the other works but these are really nice. Suprised you didnt get the flat black emotions.
