w00t!

/sarcasm

Obviously I'm being facetious. Leave it alone. I think it looks VERY nice just like it is. Subtle and stylish. You don't have to go for the "cartoonish", over done look on every mod. I think you achieved exactly the look you were probably going for. Same thing I have in mind for my '07.

Good on ya!
EXACTLY... less is more

thanks!

i will be picking up the MSA type 7 bumper in a month or two, and so it wont be a problem any more...

Nice wheel setup. I almost got these but I went with the RPF1 instead.

like every other modd'ed z? maybe a lot of people that MOD their Z's like to be able to tell that they modded it. imo slamed just looks good, you obviously don't think so but everyone has their own tastes.

OP - looks good. but like everyone else said, it'd look better a little more dropped, maybe not slammed (not practical). b/c you got 18s and mild drop that rear fender gap is pretty huge, but to each his own. keep up the modding, great start!

thanks man... i dont think everyone else here said that it would look better more dropped, alot of people that commented like it just the way it is... (also like i said before i didnt choose very good photos, it looks much better AND lower in person) but i agree that prolly 75-90% of the people on this forum love the SLAM'd look(and thats cool)

I agree that a little lower would look a little better, in fact i was considering the Eibach springs first, but i got the Hotchkis for $100 so i couldnt turn that down... i also cant sacrifice the daily driveability, and i love the fact that im not scraping anywhere or rubbing on the fenders (after all i do have 295s in the rear and i havent touched(rolled or cut) the fenders, and ZERO rubbing!!!!!)

I might consider the Eibach springs in the future when im changing out the shocks...

Ummm, it's called "facetiousness", look it up, perhaps Google IS your friend? Just a thought.

Roll your eyes all you want. I don't blame you, I get that reaction from a lot of women. *shrugs*

imo slamed just looks good, you obviously don't think so but everyone has their own tastes.
You obviously don't know me. Personally I think lowered cars, even "slammed" rides can (and do) look great. Please point out to me where I stated I didn't like the look. No? Because I didn't. My comments to the OP were only meant to acknowledge that not everyone likes "slammed", and even if they do it's not always a practical choice. I was only supporting his choice, for his ride. Simple concept right?

Perhaps the problem was you read my post to the OP, found it conflicted with your own ideas and mistakenly took it as a personal affront. Certainly it couldn't have been in that spirit, but it's a common reaction. No big deal, it happens.

Anyway, thanks for playing. It was fun. Well, a little anyway.
