Thumbs up A little facelift for the Z

Had some body damage so got that repaired and put on a new front bumper while I was at it as well, just got the car back from RJ's paint shop in Pleasanton, CA and immediately dropped it off to Speed Element in Fremont, CA to throw on some Megan Racing coilovers and decided to do a quick shoot

Front has settled, still waiting on the rear to settle a bit, but will adjust it end of the week to even things out a bit

Wheels are 18x10 +25 Rota T2R with Nitto Invo 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear

Here are some pictures:







definitely check out www.rjspaintshop.com for any body work needed and www.speedelement.com for various parts / labor as well

Let me know what you guys think

Zoeb

Is that a Shine or VIS V2 bumper? Needs the V2 side and rear spats. Looks fantastic!

I don't think it's a VIS, but I'm not 100% sure

We bought it a while back off a member but didn't get a chance to install it until recently

Looks good. Wheels look pretty damn good to, but you guys really need to convince Rota to make some more aggressive offset wheels for the US market. I know you have 19's in +15 but why not the 18's???

On a side note, how do you like the invos? Are they sticky enough for spirited road driving?

we have some P45's coming in with 18x10 front +10, and 18x12 +12 rear...Flat Black, P45R2 fronts and P45R3 rear

They are pretty sticky, I am happy with them
