um, front bumper, sideskirts, rear add ons, exhaust, wheels and other minor changes.

besides that, who cares how much has been done over the years? it's a thread about still enjoying a car that has been owned for so long, and an excuse for this guy to learn how to use his dslr cam

Thanks chief, I saw that not all the pics loaded the first time. Understand that all I saw was literally a picture of his car new, then a pic of floor mats, and a shift ****.

How does the front bumper look after 47,000 miles? Be honest. Close-up photos.

Good start with photography

I also bought an used Canon 40D as well.

I like the pictures and the Z. IMO it'd look better if you paint the calipers and the door handles black.

Enjoy taking pictures and the Z.

Got the Nismo bumper at 33,000 miles. The old was was near perfect because of a vinyl bra. The new one has some chips expected for ~14,000 miles, but I avoid tailgating and touch-up the chips every few months.

As far as the rest of the body, 0 door dings, chips, or scratches. Garaged at home and at work, parked in the last spot since new.

Very clean and nicely done. What are the specs on the rota's and tires sizes?

Thanks. I know the calipers are a "no no" on this forum but I like them. I have thought about stripping them back to silver one day.

Fronts are 18 x 9.5 +20 with 275-35-R18
Rears are 18 x 9.5 +5 (15mm spacer) with 295-35-R18

Fenders are rolled.

Pretty agressive. any shots prior to the rear spacer by chance? curious about the 295/35 minus spacer
