Nothing more than a "hey look at my Z thread". Just did an audio install, and got some exterior mods done. I guess you could call this a "Progress Thread".
2005 Enthusiast, 6spd - 42,000miles
Car came with the 18" wheels, can't afford a nice set of 20s so I invested in big tire and wheel spacers instead.
BEFORE:

MODS:
18" Tork Imagine rims w/ Toyo Proxes tire
Billet grill in front bumper
Tinted front reflectors, (headlight reflector & bumper reflector)
15% window tint all around
Silver Painted Brake Calipers
Tinted taillights
Cool white LED license plate lights
Blue LED marker lights in headlights
Aftermarket Y-Pipe (for sound/increased exhaust flow)
Cold Air Intake
Color-matched "mad" eyelids
Cool white interior floor lighting
Carbon fiber "Z" Bumper badge
BIGGER tire & wheel spacers.
Other things I don't remember...
Now, exterior:

Also got around to installing cool white led strips under the dash & seats to light up foot area. Installed two rocker switches in the ash tray piece of the center console, white for interior lights, and blue for something else someday.

Cold air intake modified(cut) into a short-ram intake, silver painted battery&brakefluid covers, eyelids, Z emblem, billet grill, & tinted reflectors.

I'm a 20 year old trying to make my way through college so i've had to stick to the affordable mods, and wasn't able to go spend $4000 on a nice set of rims, but... comments, suggestions?
