Kno's z
i would like to share the changes my z has gone through.
Mods through the years...
My z;
day of purchase, bought tints and took a picture with my daily
a week later, alarm and its first shoot with wash
end of 2007, pioneer avic d3 and hit 1k miles almost broken in!
shortly after my 3way coaxials x4
then came in the bass. nismo Ti ****, and homelink mirror.
then some power
then a 1.2" drop. and camber kit
Fujitas.
ichiba 25 and 20 mm spacers
nismo v-1 skirts
high gloss roof vinyl
it was later painted gloss black
just got, Charge-speed bumper with cf insert(im not driving with the unpainted bumper it was installed to test fitment)
i couldnt resist a great deal on a nismo 350z bumper
wheels are on!! i have major rubbage im getting my fenders rolled asap.
specs- 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +15 (5mm spacer) wrapped on nitto invo 245/30f 275/30r
picked up a set of volkracing formula lugs
tanabe sustec pro 5 with kinettix A arm and spl rear camber/ toe kit.
Picked up Motordyne tdx1 for the z and it sounds amazing. here she is getting an alignment done
injen CAI had to relocate the horns to the impact bar because it wouldnt let the passenger intake pipe sit properly
got the courage to open my lights up thanks to the dyi thread on the forumns. painted the housing black and put on some halos, huge improvement over oem. i also picked up a pair of eyelids.
Cf engine cover/ aluminum diverter plate. tien hood struts. nismo oil cap. and painted the injens with high temp semi gloss black
leather/ perforated suede powered touring seats
aluminum painted z air vent emblem and cubby tab
new addition to the z. hotchkis sways and z speed undershroud also some sexy burn titanium tips
the car hit 60k miles i changed transmission and differential fluids
pieced together a set of brembos with SSlines and DOT5 motul fluid and blank discs
bought some vinyl of ebay to give a suttle orange accent to the interior.
Stripped the whole interior rear side and wrapped it with dynamat.. i gotta say man that quiets down the howl of the tdx1 pretty good ^_^
gloss black veil side sides and matching oem spoiler and painted the mirrors black
after 3 years the halos went out so decided to do something different with my lights. at the end of the night i got tired and didnt finish the driver side lol
Got a F1 style pulsating brake light, look pretty awesome in person
Stillen H brace came in

first of all thanks for the compliments. this color is not for everyone and in Miami there's only i would say 3 of them max, so about being original i kinda are already. there was people passing by the cars and were staring at them like if the were exotics it was hilarious looking at their faces.
the te37's are beautiful wheels, but, i was thinking more of the work meisters s1 3pc with some sick offsets and a nice drop hopefully by xmas ill treat myself to the s1's
hehe i tried i used my tripod and timed shot in most of the pics. lol i looked so ridiculous with a tiny camera and a huge tripod. i really want a canon d400 i think they like a grand or a lil bit more.

beautiful car... not big fan of orange on Z's especially /STOCK, but reading your plans it might turn out a nize Z after all =D
-- some shots were boring! DONT have your car in the middle EVER as it makes the picture look too boring to begin with.
--Most time you must angle your camera to capture a dynamic view.
--MOst time you must have ur wheel/tire turned just right to also add dynamic feeling.
some pictures actually were interesting... to my surprise =D .... you can do BETTER next time... good luck
