Default My WIP

Well, I've had the Z for almost a month now and I am amazed at how many ppl will turn slightly around and look at my almost completely stock car...and I'm not even CLOSE to being done with it yet! Having said that, I do have some before & after photos. Remember, it's a work in progress...

Before:


Utterly stock, except for the 17" Motegi Racing FF7s...which looked awful!

After:


Still utterly stock, but now she's got 18'' 5Zigen FN01R-Cs (8.5F +22/9.5R +22) riding on Tein springs wrapped with Sumitomo HTR ZII's (245/40F-275/40R)! And although I guess it doesn't really count as a mod, a 20% tint on the glass! I know the calipers look like @$$, but I'm moving to the interior next. That stock radio has got to GTFO! Plus I'll probably put a high end alarm on her. Then I'll move back out to the exterior. Not planning on a bunch of engine mods. Maybe a popcharger and a new exhaust? But I've got a look in mind, so...stay tuned!

lol.. damn you got a good eye!

OP, you definitly improved the look of the vehicle with those wheels, not necessarly the ones I would have bought (I'm still stock so I shouldn't talk) but you stepped it up.

btw, coming from a shitty 10 year old car and stepping into a Z, I did notice everyone eyeing down the car! Lol.. made me get my tints!
