Spacers hu, Iv heard that a few times. Their so easy to install it ends up being put off over and over and it never happens...As for painting the headlight housing, I had thought about it. I actually like the look the stockers have, they match my tails.

I just went from the old style of headlights to these so I havent gotten over how these look, I just love um.

Looks amazing bro, god i love chargespeed kit! Very tastefully done, and ive been comtemplating painting my TS as well so the more pics of those who have done it the better.

BTW, that final shot with the 3 Z's....Very nice, all 3 beautifully done. It's very hard for me, if i have ever, to find a shot with more than 1 Z where i like more than just one, but your shot wit those 3 nailed it.

I say you black out the inner headlight housing, and leave the hood as-is, as well as keeping the car white.

As for the 315's you said you're going to be putting on... That's honestly beyond overkill for your car, since it's not FI. I'm assuming that your rear wheels are 10.5, and 315's will not only kill your gas mileage, and give you massive understeer, but it will look goofy hanging over the rim.

I was running 305/30/19 PS2's on my Z with -3.5 degrees of camber out back, on a 10.5" wheel and I wish I had gone with a 295. The sidewall is way too squared off and almost looked like they were going to engulf the rim, gas mileage went down a bit, and it only looked good from out back due to the wide contact patch.

But, if you wanna try that, go for it. Just giving my experience

Car looks good!

^^glad you posted that man...your the first person to give me their experience with that size tire. I might be switching over to 11" wide rims in the future, still not sure. I figure having that extra 2.5" of play room since my fenders were pulled would really leave room for 315s. I really never thought of those other factors though.

I dont really ever forsee myself using that big of tire for its true purpose. I dont think I'll ahve the money to boost her. I figure the best I'll do is around 280 at the wheels within the next couple months...then again I said I would only do an exhaust when I first baught in 2006.

glad yall are liking it though

the gap on the sides close to 1/4" 1/3", the front about the same. It sets a little high on the car as well.

I got the body shop to add body filler on the front fenders to help with the height and spacing difference. If you pop your hood youll also find bolts that hold the front fenders on. You can simply set a couple washers in that to move the front fender up a bit.

As for the gap between the fenders and hood I dont know of anyway to really fix that. I had the same issue though.

Only under the hood at this point. The exterior is done...besides going a little more negative with the camber and getting 275/30s for the front and 305's for the rear.
