your right, it is a personal preference thing......too me without them they just look unfinished, it reminds me of my truck which is a chevy 4x4 2500HD with huge wheel wells so when i look at the z i like that the tires are wrapped more............well at least it makes me happy

thanks for the critques guys ill go out and take some other pics. the wheels sit pretty flush i think its just those pics. im sitting on 19's i guess im not allowed to say whip, lol. In that case i don't want to consider my car a whip if i have to sport 22's or bigger, ha.

ok guys here are more pics. my car is on tanabe gf210 springs with the bump stop mod also in the rear. the car sits on 19inch stern beast. Any critiques are fine with me be as harsh as you want i have tough skin. oh yeah and i know the grill has to go. ive had the car 2 years and still have not removed yet lol. the fronts sit real flush i just have the wheel turned a bit so it doesn't look so flush in the front. im thinking about putting a spoiler on it possible the oem spoiler or the blitz spoiler that is a big more pronounced than the oem what do you guys think about that.

"Whip" is a pretty commonly used term across all walks of life? Maybe you're just corny?
