Default Canada_Z's Exterior Build Thread

Hey Guys,

So I bought my Z in July of 2012. It had Eibach Sportlines, 20mm front and 30mm rear wheel spacers, and a veilside replica lip. See below.

Then the fun began..

I started with the exhaust because I like me cars loud. So my friends at GT Custom Exhaust in Pickering, hooked me up with some Blast pipes. Also I grabbed a Megan rear brace.



As winter came, I started stock piling parts..

BC BR Coil overs and SPL rear camber arms

Alpine IVEW 530 Double Din

Kinetix front camber arms as well as front and rear sway bar bushings.
Varreston ES2 19x10F and 19x11R +15's. Falken 452's 245/35 and 275/35
I then also grabbed some replica Veilside rear underside wings and decided to wrap them, as well as my existing front lip, in real carbon fiber.

This is how the car sits now..

Much more to come, Thanks for looking

Looks very familiar your car is coming along nicely... I would suggest upgrading your lights to '06+

Do you live in Pickering?

Nice, looks good!
I feel like some coloured lug nuts would really set it off.

My thought exactly.
Just ordered some Neo chrome lugs the other day. I think that will help compliment the wheels a bit.

The fitment is good. I dont have any up close pictures, but since i wrapped it in carbon fiber, it was no longer a perfect fit.

Fitment wasn't great.. at all. Theres a couple of threads on here about the underwings, I'm sure somewhere in them is a reputable place to buy them.

Looks nice dude. Where did you get that vinyl **** for your brace? I've had an idea for mine for a while with a different print.
