New Z, Old VQer
I've owner a G for about a year, and loved it to death. But always loved the Z, finally the time came and I found the right Z.
Bought the car off another member on the forum, it's dropped on eibach sportlines and has SSW wheels. Lots of shared parts between this and my G but the Z is already so sexy that my G takes most of the custom work.
Anyways, this isn't a thread without pics!
This is my G, sorry for the **** photo it's getting a bunch of work done and won't see the light of day till spring. Lots of new pics then though!

They are 19" SSW wheels.
I don't have anything with the front bumper on yet, I'll snap some later today.
But here is what I have to share
This is a photoshop, (it's actually Marcus Cooke's car) but gives the basic idea of what it will look like painted.
Except with these wheels.
Basically it's getting, a new front end, a new rear bumper, painting the skirts finally, shaved trunk and molded lip etc. It's going lower so no need to worry there! It's my DD so I have been scared to slam it. It's already so tucked with 1 or 2 people in the back haha. My mod list on the Gsedan is too long!
Do you guys think I should keep the SSWs and leave them as is? Paint the face(maybe matte black or gunmetal, I'm painting the inside of the headlights) leave the lip polished? or sell them and find something new? I do like the wheels, but it might makes the Z feel sluggish in comparison since my G is going to be running track wheels that weigh nothing, I'm not sure what the SSWs weigh but I'd say around 27lbs just buy holding them.

Very tidy looking Daytona Blue there. 
Smart you, for having best of both worlds, a 2 & 4 door. We like checking out others projects too. Check out Boogshag's thread, lol, you'll see what I mean.
