i see. i still havent found a rear lip for the Z ive liked. maybe the c-west lip kit. i still want varis v1 CF sides and the nismo Z front bumper, but i dunno bout rear. i dont need anything crazy since the varis and nismo parts arent TOO crazy.

man I bet you scrap your front diffuser all the time and I know for a fact that your rear tires rub because my car isn't that low and mine rub as well. But your Z looks ****ing amazing dude. I think you really need to get the Amuse sideskirts and amuse spoiler to truly set your car apart. Maybe even the rear although that rear diffuser is sexy. great job man.

ps. you guys are horrible at taking pictures. The one with the skyline behind those bars=fail. That's just my view from a photographers angle.

jdmz33, i know for a fact that you're wrong in both instances. My rear tires never rub, the fenders are cut right to the edge. There is half a mm of clearance and it never touches. If yours rub, you did a sh*tty job at rolling/cutting your fenders and a poor job at overall setup. Even my previous setup with way crazier offsets never rubbed in the rear. It's all about the camber gain and choosing the right tire/camber. And that comment on my pictures is totally unfair. You don't like one single picture and say that we suck at taking pics? There are 45 of them posted. I can't stand when people tell other people their photography skills suck. That's why they call it photography, you don't have to be limited by certain standards and rules. I like critique and suggestions, and can take a good emount of negative opinions from ppl, but when people say something they don't know, that's another story. Here is an old pic of my old setup, shot at the exact same place and happens to be one of the best pics i've ever taken of my car, and it's not just my opinion:

Your tires never rub and only have 1mm between them and the fenders. So ur telling me that when u drive and hit a bump ur car doesn't move 1mm!!

Things wrong with ur pics: (that basic PEOPLE, not photographers, understand)

1 Lighting
2 Trees in front of cars in MULTIPLE pictures. TREES!!!!
3 off center
4 Railings/bars in front of cars
5 a stupid tractor as background(the hell were u thinking? SERIOUSLY!)
6 turning ur wheel away from the camera
7 taking a picture next to walls with marks(at least 4 ft long) on them from someone hitting it
8 centering a picture on a door instead of the car next to it.
9 taking a pictures with a port a potty in the background

just sayin.....

TheShaddix, don't even respond to this idiot.

It is 100,000,000% clear that you did every single one of those things on purpose (except for the turning the wheel away part, I agree with him there). I love when amazing cars like yours have photoshoots in shitty places, it makes the cars look better. The trees make the car look better, and my favorite pictures of that whole set are the ones of your Z in front of the tractors. The yellow and black brings out the Silverstone so well, I love it!

I'm not in love with the shots with the railing in the foreground, but as a photographer you're an artist, and if it looks good to you, that's all that matters!

thanks man^ But I'll respond just this once so that other people don't get confused from reading his posts.

To jdm Z33... By 1mm clearance i meant when the wheel goes up (from hitting a bump or on a driveway obviously), there is more or less 1mm of clearance between the tire sidewall and the fender edge (which is cut!). SO the tire never ever touches the fender, so there is no rubbing. I would know. I've been messing with suspension setups since the day I got these coilovers. You can argue with me about photography all day long because I don't know much about it, but it's pointless to argue about suspension with someone who's done his homework on it. The very first set of wheels I got for this car were work vsxx, with +4 offsets all around, 9.5/11 widths. They rubbed, even with the fenders cut as they are now. I had to figure out how to fix that and fast. In the rear it's easy, you just add camber, cut/roll fender and pull it slightly. For the front, you need to mess with your preloads on your coilovers.

As for my pictures, I won't even get into that. It's my style and I completely disagree with everything you said. I saw the pics you take, and trust me, there are people way better than you and they don't have nearly as bad of a tone as you do.

To everyone else, sorry for the bs post, had to do it.
