Thanks guys.
The sideskirts actually do not lower your car more than a few millimeters. Its the effect of being lower. Ill try to get a nice close up of the bottom because I had these questions too and theres not much info on these sideskirts.
I dont think ill be removing the dip on the lip. Matte black makes the brembos stand out more too lol. I'll have them powdercoated the same color in a few weeks

Thanks man. Hmm i dont rlly know how if I should do that lol. It looks okay imo. But I have been thinking about changing my car to Satin balloon white. Should that happen I think white bbk would really set it off.
Also I picked up a set of new headlights to work on. I have STI clear lenses, iron man mod, halo, and some different assortments. Anyone know what is the exact silicone sealant to use for sealing the lights up again?

Last picture with everything I hoped to have on the car exterior wise except the front lip...
I decided to repaint the whole car as there were some scratches and one of the fender had a lot of rock chips I didnt like. Cant go for a real "show" car with a crappy nissan paint job lol. I already painted the front bumper and it looks good. I was gonna go blue but decided to do a different red from Lamborghini instead just to be different.
Ill install the front lip after the new paint. And I removed the dip on the lips. Might have to refinish the lips too...

That white streak on the bumper is the reflection of the clouds

Nice build Teha99! I love that new paint color!
I have some questions for you; Are you still using the stock exhaust with your diffuser? Did you have to hack it up? I know you had mentioned using it with the HKS replica and not having issues, but since that was last year, it would've been on your other Z correct?

Sorry for the late reply been really busy with classes. Yes I am on stock exhaust with the current Z. I did not have to hack it up although it is a tight fit and took me and a buddy about 4hrs to fit it on since our big hands were not so user friendly.
A small update. Im in the middle of parting out my car. I have the HR ts cf hood for sale pickup in NJ. Bottomlines picked up NJ, diffuser is sold. Headlights are sold. My wheels are for sale also.
I am trading my Z straight for an 06 built STI
