Default new Z owner and loving it!!! *pics inside*

ok. so i thought i'd finally introduce myself to the Z community. this is my '06 Z ( her name is Rinoa =p ) i just got about 3 weeks ago brand new with 9 miles off the lot. i've followed your guys procedure in how to break in the z correctly. i stayed under 4k (and still staying under because as of right now it has 1100 miles) but i couldnt wait another 100 miles to put on all the mods i bought for the car so i thought...wth...why not right? so i got my intake, tanabe springs, test pipe/y-pipe installed and my little s2k antenna lol, and threw on my wheels the other day and this is my baby now. ( please dont flame on me ) Im in So Cal and if i give you other Z owners a thumbs up please dont give me the finger back. haha im a friendly guy and im always giving props to other car enthusiasts and i hope that doesnt bother most of you. anyways...enjoy the pics. hope i meet some of u guys in person at a meet sometime soon. take cares

- quan













P.S. i have like brand spankin new 06 5 spoke wheels sitting here for sale if anyone is interested. hehe and 06 springs with 1000 miles on them. oh! and also the aero package front lip that goes under the front bumper. i have that brand new in box if anyone is interested also.

sweet Z. welcome to the forum.

I assume you don't have a camber kit, did you get an alignment? were they able to get it within spec?

I'd recommend an alignment ASAP, otherwise you'll be watching the inner side of those tires go bald faster than chevy loses money.

Welcome to the Z family. I was happy when I found this site. But everytime I log on and read a thread I make plans to buy and install some other mod for my Z. I've been on here for a little over 2 weeks and I've already bought wheels, JDM clear bumper reflecters, intake, ground kit, plenum spacer, tein flex with EDFC and Rotora brake kit.

But it's all good...check out the sig...............

Nice wheels

Quan, what did you pay for those wheels and where?

Also, might I suggest smoked turn signals upfront. That would make those wheels look better incorporated.

You don't have to spray them. You can exchange them for smoked amber reflectors or, smoked amber reflectors with LED's in them.

Mine was custom made for $55 by a member with the LED's. I'll PM you his address and you can check with him to see if he is still doing them.
