Thanks fellas,

EDIT:
I'm really not that low, it's my INGS LX skirt makes me look low. Dropped on Bilstein PSS10 coilovers.
~1.3 front
1.7 rear (max)

Conservative set up:

9.5/10.5 +22 all around

255/35/19 & 285/35/19

So I guess it was confirmed that the +22 clears brembos. Nice.

Every time I see someone's Z on here it makes me want: A) a turbo kit & B) a better appearance (i.e. body kit, coilovers, racing seats, etc.)

FML for being poor. At least I have a Z though!

My car isn't a dd anymore and the pix I took yesterday is about 6/7 months since my last touch up. IMO - I think it looks okay still. No touch up needed but will do when it's time.

Thanks Chris, did you ever paint your wheels a different color? I remember a while back you requested PS.

I've thought about it but after looking at a bunch of photos I determined that the chrome looks better on black. Just looks like it lacks definition with black trim. If I had any of the lighter colors, though, I would definitely black it out.

Powder coat the brake calipers red or a high gloss color to change the focal point and to balance out contrast.

I might consider something like that if I was going to keep this car for the long haul, but realistically I could see trading it in on a 2014 or possibly a 2015 (B9) depending on what the engine is and whether they still offer a manual trans.
