Sweet, looking forward to seeing this beauty in person. Nice work.

Thumbs up

UPDATE: Here's one shot of some parts I've been gathering the past month for a slight face lift. Its in gray scale because I haven't taken my parts (more coming) to the paint shop yet.

I dunno man if I like the Nismo sides, the hood looks good. And did you take your wheel spacers off? I thought they where more flush than that.

Spacers? I'm not running spacers. Its probably the angle, my set up is pretty moderate these days now that people are going for the super stretched/stupid poke (no offense) look. As far as side skirts, this is my third set in one month. Stance is everything to me and I wasn't satisfied with the way my car sits with the others I previously bought. When I'm all done I'll post different angles and you'll see what kind of stance I'm pushing for with my exterior combo setup.

Thanks man, nice to see is brickyard in here. If I were to get a second pair of wheels I'd go with concave staggered bronze 18's and ride it low like how it is..... but that's just me I don't drive my car much so I can afford to keep my car with this stance. If you go daily, I wouldn't recommend going this low. High res pix? I have lots of them, which one/angle in particular are you looking for?

Are you a mind reader? That's exactly what I'm "hoping" to get by the end of the year. I know $2k for that is a bit hefty, but I think that's exactly what I need to get me over the hill with this car and will make one of the biggest cosmetic differences in my car, not to mention its performance benefit as well.

I always liked your z and I love what youve done with it so far but instead of wasting so much money on JDM bling why don't you just go FI and back all those looks up by power. 2K for an oil cooler can go towards a turbo kit . just my 2cents

I actually came from Turbo and there is more to this system than a lot of people think. To make some serious power you need to invest in building your bottom block (pistons, conrods, etc.), up your fuel delivery, FMIC & piping, standalone EMS, higher CC injectors, proper gauges..... too much to mention. Aside from just parts, you have to consider having the proper tools if you are doing it by yourself, or else you have to put away a nice sum of money for labor. A big expense is tuning, dyno, and the hours spent in the shop setting the right parameters for your engine depending on the size of the turbo and psi you will be pushing. There's so much to cover, I haven't even touch the surface, but then again, that's what the FI section is for. In the end, I'm more than satisfied with my n/a power.

That is a good deal, but I'm painting a few parts next month. The Interlagos Fire paint code is one of the more expensive colors to buy because its a color shifting paint. Just a pint for this paint is almost $600 and that doesn't include the reducer, hardener, thinner, etc. I love this color but it is so damn expensive to work with!
