Like the body-kit and the wheels. However, I agree that the wheels do need to come out a lot more.

He paid $900 for the rims. What else could he have gotten for that amount of money in such little time? Plus most of everything that WORK/VR makes is at least at a 2-3 month wait.

Thanks for the compliments, and I'll consider spacers!
typical Z owners though what else can I say....
at least your cousin is still in your fan club! you really shouldn't take offense to the comments in this thread, your cousin asked for them, not you. and like it or not, these are real people's opinions. if you are able to look past it and be happy for yourself, that's a sign of self control and maturity.

Car looks great, love the body kit, i had the same one. I agree the rear bumper folded would look great. And i do agree with the comments on the rims, i would just throw the stockers back on and save up for different wheels. They dont' have to be volks or work either.

lol way to go with maturity. i see you edited your post though, so i guess you must have realized how immature you sounded in a previous post...either that or you had spelling errors...i was nice and gave you the benefit of the doubt though.

and those doors are for show you tard, i can't even recall the last time i used them. considering your car might never make it to my level and i wasn't mean to you, you probably shouldn't talk trash.

edit: extra word on the end for no reason lol "to"

Most are giving contructive critisim. Not insisting how he should have his car. It is a public forum and people are going to voice their opinions.

I dunno why you're trying to insult a fellow Z owner who has a lot more experience than you, show some respect.

A few of my comments:
Kit looks nice but try to fix your fitment issues on the lip.
I agree with everyone else on the rear bumper mod, will make the single exhaust look much better, and it can be done under 30 minutes.
To me the front plate in the window looks a little weird. Especially with one on the front bumper, double front plates is
Lastly, I would lose the ADR asap, they just look terrible with that offset. I actually had those exact rims (in a better offset) on my car for about a year. Switching them off was the best choice.

Otherwise car looks clean and keep it up. If you want a ever cleaner look i suggest clear sidemarkers and cleared out headlights.

One more tip, something I learned the hard way. Save up the money and do it right the first time. I personally tried the replicas and honestly most are a let down. Just save up and only use quality parts.

You are getting honest feedback. Nobody is being rude about it. The offsets are all wrong. You really need to ditch those wheels and go with the correct offset. The rears look almost comical...
