Default New Z Owner in HO CO!!!

Hey guys,

I just picked up a 2003 Silver Touring Z with 45ish thousand miles. I've done a few mods to it. I replaced all dome, trunk, and license plate lights with pure white leds. I also just picked up a new Nismo front lip from a member on this forum. I simply polished the lip, but didn't paint it. Do you guys think it looks ok or do you guys think I should paint it the body color (I personally like the silver-black contrast the car has going)? I also installed a rear diffuser on the back. Inside is pretty much stock. In the future I want to go with the carbon fiber look. Anyways, take a look at my pics and tell me what you guys think...

Not to bash on a new member, this is my general comment. When you have an aftermarket front bumper or just a lip, the front becomes so much closer to the ground. So if you keep your stock side skirts which are further from the ground compared to the front now, the body of the car just looks weird and not flowing well.

Welcome btw! I'm located in Columbia, MD.

Volks and F/I are required in the Mid-A.... you better get started . Changing lightbulbs may count as a mod in some forums, but not here.

BTW, tell your neighbors they have a nice house

Skirts are next for my car, but after that rims are followinh so there're coming soon. and ya I know the bulbs aren't really considered a mod, I only listed them as they were the first thing I did to the car.
