at the rate you're going i don't think you'll ever over do it... car's hot!!! love the color and the wheels!!!
ever thought about getting clear sidemarkers and clear jdm tails? just my 2 cents...
very hot nonetheless with hood and lip paintmatched (compared to when you had them unpainted sometime ago)
again i love the wheels... i'd take them over meisters anyday

Clear signals aren't really clear. It looks white which is tacky to me. Takes a lot away from my bumper. JDM tails I did think about them, but my OEM 06' leds fit my color better. As far as tinting them, I have clear bra on my front headlights. Either way, I don't like the tinted overlay look on these headlights. Tail light tinting just looks awful IMO so that's absolutely out of the picture.

This came in yesterday!
I had to custom cut this to complete the look I wanted for my front end. I tried to keep the front pointy so I cut my carbon splitter to compliment the shape. If I kept it winging out like its original form it would take away my angles on driveways and I will scrape like a b!tch. I haven't driven with it on yet, but I just measured that there's only 2.5" that separates my front end and the floor
Aside from its function, I think the adjustable support rods are stylish and add an aggressive demeanor. I angled it so that it follows the lines and direction of the headlights and flows smoothly.

Pic: not the final cut or pre-drill. I just took the pic because I noticed how cool the reflection was by accident.
I had second thoughts going into this mod, but after seeing the finished product I couldn't be more happier...now I need an ARC oil cooler to fill up that mouth.
BTW, I got a new look for my rear. It won't be until a few months that I'll receive it. I had to wait four months for my wheels, six months for my carbon lip, and now I have to wait again, lol. I guess good things are worth the wait

Do you mean $1200 brand new or used? If that's a brand new price that would be a relief for me. I've seen the complete oil cooler set go for nearly $2k w/tax or s&h. I'm thinking of settling for fluidyne, but I just can't see myself going that route.

Dude... I think you've officially squeezed your way into the top spot of my all time favorite Zs. Above my own even.
Now let's see some decent pics with that new front splitter!

yeah i hear ya, being slammed in socal isnt always easy. but i think it will look a lot better being the same shape as the lip rather than the splitter being round and the lip following the bumper curves. good call on the splitter, a nice aggressive touch.
