Something isnt right with the wheels. dont get me wrong. you have the best offset and tire fitment i have seen. but is there a thing as "too much lip'? the massive lip actually takes away from the car. looks weird imo.

Don't be a hater, if the poster thinks this is the "best g everrrr" then let him be entitled to his opinion.

Only because others have commented that I am wrong--

I'm one of those guys who likes stock stuff and, while I appreciate all the after-market mods people do, and many look really cool, my preference is a really sweet set of low-profile tires and a very clean car. I like this G better than any G I've seen because of the nice tint, the great color, the nice sunset photography, and the lack of other mods. (Heck, I even like it better without a spoiler and most have spoilers.)

It's clean. It's sleek. It's dark. It's well photographed.

Oh yea, this is my opinion. Just to be clear, I don't intent to suggest that others should have my opinion.

Have a nice day (unless you don't want to, 'cause I would never try to tell someone else what to think). But that's just me.

thanx guys, i agree with the guy above.. in the past ive had other cars which ive done all out but in the end i was happiest with their appearance when the mods were simple and done properly.. for example:
full coilovers adjusted for daily driver comfort, my Tein SDF as i have them setup drive smoother than stock but give it a better feel on the roads
the ultra light, forged 3piece wheels give is a custom stance and a very mean look imo.
interior i got rid of the brides and have stock everything but with an ARC Ti round ****..
the back shaved clean so no distractions from the beautiful lines of the car.
and the tint is a must in florida..

i could have done much more but i kept it simple....i drive the car everyday and drive aggressively on the back roads without one problem and without one ounce of rubbing.. so its perfect for me.. ill never put a spoiler on it and ill never put a front lip. i will however change the wheels up about every month and always keep it looking different because i get bored easily

Unique wheels and it really sets the car off. Only thing I'd recommend would be a badgeless front grille.

something does not seem right. 20x10 +0 and 20x12 +0 should look alot more aggressive then that. there seems to be no pokage to the wheels. with that kinda offset, one you would need stretch tire but hes got some pretty wide tires on there.

im sure he has fender roll, mayben even fender pull and around -3 camber.

iv seen z's with a little higher offset have more pokage of the wheels.

his fronts look way to flush and with a +0 offset, it should be poking out.

-4 camber rear, -2.5 front. tires are semi pulled... not super pulled tho.. and the lower the car the more the control arms pull in because their uneven lenght/etc.. the car is slammmed as ****.. but because of the camber it looks slightly higher because the camber causes more chassis to ground gap.. eventho from the ground to chassis is a little over 2.5" measureing the frame of car in the front...

yeah most of the cops here tint the front too... my front is only 50% on the entire thing which is actually a little weak compared to my last car (s2k)




same location, the tint on the S2000 front window was 30% on the entire front... i might actually do another layer of 50% on my G front or just swap it out to 30 whichever is easier

I almost like the s2000 better. The G is sick for sure though. The pictures seem a little dark to me so they lose some of the detail. wheels are pretty sick, and also i think they should be color matched. They would be so freaking hot then. Do a photoshop of it.
