Default my z's new look

well my comp was down for a while, back up with new comp so i can finally load pics again, heres some from the mountain run i had on there, and some i just snapped real quick a few hours ago.
cars finally moving in the direction i want it too.
black rims came with car (used) never really like them much. big thanks to a-spec-products for the new rims.



system pics, finished this a lil while ago, happy with the result, nothing flashy really but sounds great.


the door tweets are aimed down too much oops!!



bluetooth HU


wheels/ 35%tint



gonna paint amp covers black, and put CF cover over strut brace to make it less noticeable in there.


next plans are cf strut brace cover, paint amp covers black, slightly tint tails, tint badges (maybe handles too), probly lowering springs cus im very satisfied with stock suspension performance so no need for coilovers, all bodywork and repaint soon, end of this season id like to have my big plans done with either nitrous or TN st kit. unless i smarten up and invest my money lol.

thanks for the compliments, yea i know i need a lip lol im just not sure which one i like so its not in the plans yet.

i like the headunit almost as much as your avatar lol. nah its actually a really nice unit, tons of flexibility in tuning the system, and the bluetooth is great, i cant get it to auto-pair or load my phonebook but i havent tried too hard either lol. im a def. fan of pioneer premier products.

What did you not like about the old rims?
I have a 03 redline and I was looking at those rims.
Are they weak, bend or you just did not like the look?

well my thing with this car was if i was gonna modify it i wanted most if not everything to be high end/quality. i know not everything is high end but its above average i think.
those rims looked cheap to me, and some things i dont like on rims, five fat spokes....black w/polished lip (unless its a huge chrome lip)....silver in the center of a black wheel. lol so there you go, every feature of that rim i didnt quite like. dont get me wrong i think theyre very nice rims just not what i had in mind for this car, plus i wanted wider tires in back.
