Default What do you guys think about my Z? What should I add.

My car is pretty stock other than the lowering springs and the intake on it. And the 18x9.75 xxr rims..

Thinking of doing more to it ,but at the same time trying to keep it comfortable and reliable..

I would do a simple front lip and a shorty antenna. Other than that, your car looks good to me

The vents are probably held on by double sided tape. Get a hair dryer or heat gun and heat it up real good, then stick some fishing line behind it and it should pull off without messing your paint up.

As far as the rest of the car goes, looks pretty good.. maybe some wheel spacers and lowering springs/coilovers

Thanks man.. Yeah I'm gonna try that hair dryer technique ..

What kind of spacers would you suggest? And would I have to get extended studs ?

Ichiba, H&R, B2 Auto, etc etc... they all make spacers that work fine. It depends how big of a spacer you need. 5MM spacers just slip on and you don't need extended studs. 10-15MM you usually have to replace the studs (but the longer studs usually come with the spacers). And if you get 20mm+ you can get bolt on spacers that already have built in studs in the spacers for you.

Just measure the gap from the top of your tire to your outer fender and then go from there

Looks fine to me, you're off to a good start (if you can get those fake vents off)

+1 for a short antenna in the interim.

Exhaust and aero are the normal parts to get next at this stage of your modding.

And when I have spare time I'm gonna take off those vents with the method you mentioned with the blow dryer..

Wider tires in the rear to fill out the fenders. Why would you waste any time on those fugly black wheels? Roll on the XXRs or is that only one side?

Looks pretty good to me. +1584 on the vents.

Maybe a lip spoiler, clear reflectors

I prefer the old setup personally, but that's just because I don't like black on black
