Default Just some pics on the "evolution" of my Z after 3 years

Just sharing some pics from the day I got it! An 06 Touring


1st mod: Volk GT-C 19's



Borla, and bumper tuck

Then an air duct

Finally lowered it

Added some AIT Vielside knockoffs...took forever to make em look good and fit right...lesson learned

By this time, added painted engine covers, GReddy strut bar, chrome plenum, Samco Etc...

Knockoff Nismo lip

08 HR hood...gotta love Craigslist!!!


Wire tuck, and a few engine changes

Lowered more and Advan T7, Shine Amuse front, Jic single







My photo skills aren't that good, so forgive the not so good pics!!! Please
So anyway, the current mod list is Advan T7 19's, Shine Auto Amuse front bumper, Nismo/JWT intake, chrome upper plenum, 05 lower plenum...ported and polished, SPL prototype 5/16" spacer, JWT cams, Stillen oil pan, Samco/Z1 silicone hoses, RareJdm harmess cover, wire tuck, JIC 3' single, Megan y-pipe, Topspeed sway bars, SPL endlinks, SPL lockout washers, SPC toe bolts, Stillen camber arms, Stillen spoiler, Nismo diff cover, Avid Racing billet trans mount, Energy Suspension diff bushings, UR stock size crank pulley, Custom Corvette Accessories oil catch can, Prothane sway bar bushings, Whiteline subframe bushings, Nismo shift **** (rubber), Leather (orange stitch) shifter and e-brake boots, Alpine CDA-124SXM head unit, Rockford Fosgate front/rear speakers, and a few other things I can't quite think of right now.
Anyway, so far it's been fun, after 3 years, but either fixin to go on the chopping block for an IS350, or another makeover. I'm also in the process of making a fiberglass sub box for 2 10's.

and glad to say all work was done by me at home in my garage, including paint and body work, but not the wheel powdercoating or alignment.
There's nothing more fun than messing with my Z, and it's the only car I've had this long that I still like!

Thanks for the props! It is for sale, but im still in the mindset to do another makeover on it, so i only have it on CL. Those advans used to be gold, but i had them powdercoated that color. Traded my volks for them, but i miss the fat lips!
