Default My Z - a work in progress

Picked up the Z about 2 months ago and it's still a work in progress. As much as I loved my G35, the Z is much more fun to drive

I actually like the way the front looks. I should have taken some shots with the front wheels straight.

BBK is coming in due time. Just waiting to see how the job situation sits before I start dropping any more cash into the car.

Yes, carbon fiber FI exhaust. Resonated TPs coming soon

-1 rear. Front is neutral. I already dropped it 1.25" using Eibach Pros. At some point, I'll be swapping those out with coilovers. Just need to recover some of the cash that I've put into it already. Also need to find out if I still have a job in the next couple of months

Oh hell yea..-2 front and back would make it looked rediculous..I suppose its just because you can see the top of the rear tire is why it doesnt look as low...still good stuff though

IMO the eyelids make the car look ricey simply because you have no bodykit for it to flow with,nice rims though.

Body kit is coming. Just having a hard time finding one for an 08 model that I like that hasn't been played out to death. Also, most of the ones that I have seen are fugly, at least to me.

Personally, I like the eyelids, regardless of whether or not a body kit is installed. It changes the look of the front end of the car in a very subtle manner.
