Default Tuscaloosa Photoshoot, Part I

I went out with my buddy Jae tonight for some pictures.

I still need practice shooting night shots.

Title says Part I because we hope to be going back for some daytime pics Saturday. My brother and neighbor may come, too.

If you don't like the bodykit on the ZR, keep it to yourself It looks awesome in person.

I think the bodykit is sweet, but the wheels look to small. Maybe a better offset or some spacers to widen the stance.

I like Goolby's quality even though I'm not a fan of the kit, but for as long as I've known him, I've always been impressed with his quality.

I think he is going to end up getting different wheels.

Yeah, he does great work. He's done so many Zs lately he jokes about renaming the shop Goolsby Z Shop.

Jonathan and his wife really did say that. hahaha

And yes, buddy did a great job on my car. All the interior painting and engine bay painting was done by him too.

The wheels DO pisses me off though...lol It would been fine, it lines up sideways ok if you look at it. ( I don't know if you can tell it in the picture. ) The thing was that, even thought Tom's kit wasn't widebody or anything like that, it was little wider on both end. Maybe that's why they wrote down prof. installation recommanded? And Jonathan took a lot of time to do some fiber glass work on the body to make them all smooth, etc.

Another thing is that wheels look to simple for such an aggressive kit. (Do I get a +1? haha) I'm looking at Advan Super Ver. 2 wheels now.


p.s. Jonathan shaved the antenna too. thanks, my friend!

It matches with my other polished parts in the engine bay; like hose locks, catch can, dip stick, etc. You seriously like the stock blue / black plastic caps better? come on~
