Looks good as is, maybe some 06 tails and headlights. What are you dropped on?

Thanks again for all the compliments. They are greatly appreciated.

I'm lowered on Eibachs. I'm worried if get wheel spacers and roll my fenders that my tires will hit the fenders & quater pannels.

You can start by upgrading your headlights to 06+ ones, painted housings to match red paint or just blacked out. Get some wheels in gunmetal. These would look great: http://www.z1auto.com/images/ggames99B.jpg

Maybe get a different front bumper. Get rid of all those grill meshes or at least paint them black or something. It cheapens the whole look.

A nismo v2 spoiler is what would change the car's look a lot: http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/159...0z0606slo8.jpg
But I don't know if you can put that on a convertible Z... Regardless, you need some kind of spoiler. The rear looks too mellow. And of course get some 06+ led taillights.

what if i had my wheels powder coated to black? i deffinetly want a new front bumper, maybe a V2. I'd like the car to have a little bit more of an aggressive look. There are 2 different spoilers that i'm looking at ment for roadsters. I can't think of the name right now though.

I love roadsters! You car like clean as it is. I actually thought about putting a DoLuck kit on a roadster as well. Are your wheels SSR Professor SP1s?

Spacers will definitely make it look wayyyyyy better. But that chrome look has got to go. You need gunmetal, gloss black or matte black.

Yep, SSR SP1 with an anadized black center. I'm just not sure what to do with the car. I might try and sell it & pick up an already built Z. I'm being pretty indesisive.

What offsets are the wheels? I like the look mostly, but would suggest spacers for a more aggressive stance.

put the top down and get a custom made Targa Top.
Itll be like a hard top but cut.
One guy looked like he took someones hatch and made it into a targa top.

It looked REALLY REALLY good. If i had a Z convertible, it wouldve been done already.

Keep those wheels and throw on some spacers. They look sick and will be even better with the proper offsets.

It looks great imo, maybe just do an '06 taillight and headlght conversion. Wheels/drop/kit looks perfect! Well done.

I love jd714's (he just posted updated pics) look but i don't know if i could pull that off since i have a drop top. I'm thinking of keeping my wheels and trying to find a good set of the forged stock wheels (not sure what the exact year is) and having them powder coated black w/a red lip. Problem is locating those rims.
