Oh yeah bye the way the exhaust is a custom 2.5" setup with a cross over intermediate pipe, strup cans, 2.5" APS test pipes and stillen headers. exhaust fabricated by GTM. it is loud as F'uck!!!!!!!!! maybe to loud for my taste.....but it performs well.

no please dont do this... it looks great the way it is.. the only thing you might want to do is paint the hood and the upper half of the lip... looks awesome though.. very functional and mean looking..

EDIT: op, actually just follow your own slogan in your sig..

i am not going to throw a body kit of any type on this car due to it not serving any function. the c west lip was a big step for me but i think that looks good. the reason i am not going to paint the lip or hood is due to foreseeable paint match problems and due to the carbon fiber can get the hell chipped out of it ( road and track debris ) and still look decent. this car is going to see alot of road racing duty in the near future. next step in my build is supension work and coilovers.

black cooler is a stillen unit ( main oil cooler ). silver cooler is a unit i put together myself ,it is a supercharger oil cooler. it cools the supply oil just before it enters the supercharger. as far as i know i am the only one who has ever done this on a z and it works pretty damn good. the intake tube i fabbed myself using some 3.5 dia aluminum tubing with aircraft scat tubing and at the end i installed a velocity stack.
