My Z
new here, figured id share some pics.
recently picked up the car about 3 months back, love it
got some new wheels recently, was gonna go with black face wheels, but i felt like the black car x black wheels look was too overdone, i always see black on black cars... so i figured id try something i hadn't really seen around ever on a Z (at least around where i drive)
i had some time tonight and took some shots of the car, please feel free to c&c!
looking for opinions, thoughts, hate or not and so on.
nothing serious done yet like some of you guys.
its an 04 touring, black on black navi, & leather.
only mods so far are Injen CAI, Eibach springs, the wheels (obviously), 5% tint all around, with 35% tint on the WHOLE front windshield, and a S2000 antenna
the wheel specs - Luff M1 19" "Championship Gold" 9.5 fronts, 10.5 backs +20 offset
tire specs - 225/35/19 x 265/30/19
looking to de-badge the Nissan trunk emblem, and front bumper emblem.
along with a Nismo front bumper lip, and trunk lip/spoiler.
small engine mods possibly in the future, since it is just a daily driver
thanks for looking, and be sure to post your thoughts, and maybe ideas for small future mods...
EDIT: added some new pics!

its a special one way UV tint paper, from within the car you cannot tell the windshield is tinted, from outside you can. not only do i feel like it adds ton of look, it also reduces glare, and keeps the car cooler from the suns rays and what not.
and as far as cops go, my uncle is a detective, so it helps. and in my area, cops don't really bother for small things like tints.

Looks good, clean. Must be impossible to see out of at night
I think the biggest area for improvement are the wheels/tires. I'm not a huge fan of those wheels (love the mesh look, but think it's hard to pull off without looking cheap), and the tires are too small for the drop. I'd say get some beefier front and rear tires with a bigger sidewall and it'll make an improvement.

tire size is failure bro especially without aggressive offsets.. get some real tires that fit your size / offset and ones that don't also throw off your speedometer; might I recommend 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 , or 255/35/19 and 285/35/19
