Default Update to my 07 Enthusiast *56k die*

well i have had her for 3 weeks and i have done a few mods, figured i would show her off.

here is before, right when i picked it up:



and here she is after rims, tint and system.......













the rims are 19" TSW Thruxtons with Falken FK 452 tires (245/35 front, 275/35 rear).

i am also waiting on my Injen Track Edition exhaust, Stillen intakes and black front markers........should've been here today, but oh well.

comments welcome

jim

How do you like the gold metallic flake in the black paint?

I almost bought a black Z, but I was afraid that the gold flake would bug me down the road, always looking like dust on the paint...?

i love it. i looked at it next to my buddy's super black Z and the difference is nice. it doesnt really look like dust to be honest.......although my car is usually coated in dust thanks to all the road construction around here.

Needs a drop, but everyone will say that.

Good first mods.

no, its stock ride height. i dont want to drop it here (upstate NY) because the roads suck *** and i am not into the whole "rattle my fillings out" ride. if there were a way to keep the ride nice but lower it, i would.

sorry, didn't mean to skip over your question man.

the system was around 2 grand installed. a tad pricey, but the options in town are slim.

Wheels wouldn't be that bad looking if they had a better offset then the stock wheels.

FWD looking wheels FTL

Looks great, i hate to agree but im not a fan of the wheels.. But thats because i love the stock rims, people ask me if i put them on myself heh. Does everyone think you should drop the car to look better or because the car looks bad stock? I feel like its fine as is in mine, i dont think theres much wheel gap at all but then again my last car had about a foot of room (accord) lol... anyway looks great.

Since your getting black reflectors up front you should get chrome bulbs for your signals in the front, i have a pair of chrome ones if you want, i live in NJ, itd take a day to get there 15 shipped still in plastic. Call me a moron but i thought there were 2 bulbs per side because of the reflection so i have extras lol. They totally got rid of the amber in the headlight housing and still light up fine. I almost got silverstars but theyre like purplish weird lol.

EDIT: Oh yea get an s2k antenna too, they look great, was my first mod, cost 22 from dealership, looks more aggressive and doesnt flap in the wind while driving lol... dont think you have one cant tell.
