I get asked constantly how old the car is. I think part of that is 'upgrades' but I also think its the condition of the paint. I corrected the swirls and put layers of protection, it's the small things that add up to a big impact.



there's an additional part in the middle filled with Japanese cherry blossoms that light up as well.

all the lights are made to order. you're not going to buy some 'in stock'.

PLuxe made them or @p.luxe
Yeah, your car looks good, dude.. I'm slowly getting up to that level.. And, whaaaaaat. Japanese Cherry Blossoms? Heh. Wow.

Just finished installing new brakes pads all around, and did a flush with Motive... They also need a bath.

I'm tempted to do a rear bumper cut like 03threefiftyz but less aggressive. With a spare rear bumper of course, and with a street faction rear bash bar. Love the way it looks, paired with some fat tires in the back, would look so cool.

I'm going back to my big wheel set-up next year...part of a different strategy. Less power, less weight, moar downforce, and bigger wheels/tires.

I'm going for that look as well. OEM body with big tires, wheels, brakes and Fuctional ride height.

Im already running 295 front and 305 rear, even with just lowering springs, the car turns very well and with confidence, but i am feeling more body roll at times. I have to do a full rebuild with my Stance coilovers with http://fealsuspensionstore.com and run swift springs before I lower the car any further.

Good luck with your car, sir.

I cut about 2" off the front fenders to get it to work, but the rear is just rolled and pulled. Those are 18x12 with 315 slicks (probably closer to 325-335 street tires). Fun fun.

Tried to dup last year's "Christmas Lights Z" photo (but not too successfully).

2016

By the way, that Caddy in the background used to be mine. (Sold to neighbor.)

2017


Ahh well... I blame it on my new phone/cam. (Yeah, right....) Maybe I'll have to haul out the SLR.

Happy Holidays to all anyways!!

That sucks. I hate making long trips in this kind of weather. Luckily for me, this parking lot is only 10 minutes away from my house.. I just hope we have a mild winter here this season on the east coast.

You weren't kidding about those wheels. That's the way to do it though.. Haven't had any DEEP snow and ice here yet(knock on wood). If so, I'll just drive the Jeep.. Is the Z your only vehicle right now?..
