Had to register to see some pictures on here, so I might as well put up an intro.

Got a silver 04 Z, best car I've ever driven and hopefully owned.

I don't know but they were removed today when I washed the car after I looked at them and realized they didn't actually flow thru to the brakes.(which would be the only logically explanation for vents near the rear wheels)

Already has a Nismo CIA and 20" rims, I will be ditching the rims ASAP for some stockers, but I have a plenum spacer and tru-dual exhaust en route already.

Suspension to follow, and then finally dropping a bodypart on a NICE set of staggered wheels. Maybe a nismo wing, not sure yet. Performance first.

I was going to point that out but today was the first time I saw this tread. Looks like one of those wannabe vents made famous by those new Buick.

welcome dude. sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders (ditching the vent, 20s, good choice on parts ordered etc).

not many people mod their cars right!

Nice! Watch the Z though, they're very good at emptying your wallet.

Ya I'm doing a great job of running up my credit card bill.

And yes I've spent probably a total of 50+hrs on this board in the last week digging up the appropriate mods I deem "best" for me. And I'm still looking for a set of wheels that really suit my needs. But all in due time.
