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:






Interior:


Dash ripped apart for audio install:


Stereo:
Headunit: Eclipse cd4100
Highs Amp: ALPINE MRP-F300 300w rms amp
Highs: 4x alpine type r speakers w/ factory tweeters
7 band crossover
Sub Amp: Hifonics brutus 2008d 2000w rms amp
Sub: 1x Alpine type X 1000w rms/3000w peak
Enclosure: Custom Sealed 1.4cu ft enclosure

Eclipse headunit & equilizer:


Alpine type x & Amps:



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?

I would remove your amps from there it just makes for an easy package to rob you. What kind of electrical r you running? Hope not stock cus you will be getting some serious dimming with that setup. upgrade batt, and do the big 3 and you should be fine. with 0 awg of course

I've got a yellowtop under the hood with 0ga run to the back. I've been thinking about running another strand of 0ga since i'm running two amps now but light dimming is barely noticeable so i'll wait.
