Default Some Spring Pics, New Exhaust :)

so i definitely have an addiction for buying things for my z =/ i havent even had it for a year yet, and when i bought it, it was bone stock of course. i thought id take some pics of it since it was a super nice day out and i didnt have to work so let me know what you guys think. i know someone is going to hate on the grille but i think it looks good unless i had an intercooler or something to show off

1) ditch the grill. It looks like trash and makes your car look cheap.
2) You REALLY need a drop, can't stress it enough. Because your wheels are so big, you look like youre sitting on hydrolics.
Besides that, you're all set.
The bumper tuck looks great!

IMO,good&not so good.
I like the rear,bumper tuck&exhaust.
The car overall lookks clean.
Hate the grille.
20's on a Z just too big.All you see is wheels.
If you wanted 19's,find another wheel that came in 19's.
What to do?The car needs to look lower.The obvious is a drop.
Or,add some body components(skirts/rear side skirts )to make it look low.
I'd also add a smoke overlay to your rear back up lights.

Not trying to be mean, but I like stock everything (wheels, grill, 07+ bumper without the lip, and exhaust) vs what you've done. Just my opinion, its your car, enjoy it!

This. The stock grill looks much much better.

It really doesn't look bad... the grill is pretty bad though. I'm not a fan of those wheels but hey... it makes you happy.

thanks for all the input guys, I plan on seeing how I like it with the grill off once I can get a chance to repaint the area that is being covered by it. Also I love the wheel design, and agree it does look a little big atm, but after I get it lowered I think it will look really good even with those 20s. Either way, I havent even had it that long and am playing around with things atm to see how I like it. So far I think im on the right track though for my style and how I want my Z to turn out If anyone else wants to post some of their "spring" pics feel free

edit: If I ever find the work vs-xx in burning black that I could pick up for cheap, I will definitely be switching out my wheels for those other than that I want to see how it looks after a drop.
