IMO keep the tail's stock.

I love my SMB Z too, but those tails make it look like a cheap pos.

As for the wing i think it's great and the shift **** is soooo nice!

Please post up any more mods you do to your ride, it's hard for us SMB owners to see a mod on our color with so few of us right now. I want to do some body stuff but i have stuck with intake and larger exhaust for now.


All in All it's a sweet ride congrats man

Cheers

Kevin

It's got ceramic tint at 35% legal. Too many cops and tint fine is $220 for illegal tint here... If I were to get rims, is a drop necessary? like i said i think the car is pretty low stock and don't want to spend all that time worrying about scraping and angling over everything.

Very clean. But the tail lights got to go. Just never felt they go with any car. But keep up the nice work.

JDM tails make it look like its just a hole, or its missing something at first glance. IMO either leave them stock or smoke them just a bit.

Keep the tails i have them on my Silver Alloy, and HEY u can switch them back to red, but with a socket set u can switch them out anytime u want, IMO they look aas good on your SMB as they do my silver alloy. The cf looks good on the SMB as well, It's just the angle and type of light that makes people think they look ricey or something as people call it, but THE FACT IS that when u hit the brakes, and when they light up....ITS a wayyyyy better effect then the stock led tails.....and sometimes u gotta standout man....just make sure it doesnt bother u that u have lights that belong on a JDM Z..GL HF

Hey you got a point about standing out. I've never had so much as a second look at my Z cause there're so many here. But right after putting in my jdm tails and blitz spoiler, I got a 110 degree head turn as some guy driving a ford drove past me on the freeway . It probably helped that it was night time too so my lights stood out way more.. I like them they're growing on me.

Like it all but the taillights. If keeping stock rims, go slightly wider on tires next time, and get spacers!

Yea sure, these pics are kind of old since then i had clear front reflectors put on, and these pics were right when i got my tanabe gf210's it got much lower in the rear, i hope you guys like these are from a while back and sorry i have no pics with the lights on that day, but its so good looking when they are lit, and sorry to say but i sold my Z the other day mainly because I am going out of the country to India for a while making plans soon to leave here, and my Rev-up had the oil consumption problem like no other, and i had these for about 8000 miles on the JDM Tails so if anyone wants to buy these ill be posting up in the forsale section soon, they are 100% mint c...thanks

I'll say keep the stock tails, I also like the wing, it'll even look nicer with some body kit go along with it.

I think on the SMB the clears look better, but the stock lights and SMB are pretty patriotic. However, on my Redline the stocks definitely look better.

Btw, where in Hawaii do you live. To have a Z and live in Hawaii, what could be better.

I would have so say to keep the stocks. I have an 03 and can't wait to get the stock led tail lights. It just looks cleaner.

I have to agree, keep the stocker tails. The JDM's wash out dark colors like SMB. They look much better on the silver cars.
