Default wheel and lip

2006 Coupe, silverstone, auto tranny (lazy driver and dont plan on doing to much to engine), grand touring.

Ive had my z for a couple weeks now and I recently graduated highschool so that means i have some money to spend haha.

I put together a photoshopped version of what I want my z to look like at an angle.

I already got my shorty antennae, ipod adapter, radar detector, ordered my My350z decal and plan on doing the nismo side graphic but i dont think im going to do that in the end. I also want to put the Fairlady Z badge but I dont know if its worth going through rebadging.

I also plan on just doing an injen CAI now and later do a nismo or greddy catback.

Let me know if the render looks good.
Suggestions would be appreciated.



PS: forgot to mention that Im right in northvale nj, right next to route 303 heading into ny so if any z owners wanna meet id be glad to. I know a couple other owners around my area so I might be able to get them join in as well. perfect spots could be palisades mall in west nyack (about 10-15 minutes from my town)

dont understand the point of this thread. the fender will look the same no matter what wheel you have and if you like them then buy them your car, your $ and your decision

Welcome.. 3 things to live by(on this forum):

1. Dont kill yourself by driving like an a$$hole
2. Dont rice the car
3. Dont ask stupid questions.. do research

If you follow those 3 steps... you wont get flamed on.

Carbon silver was not available until 2007. That is a silverstone.

The GT looks good out of the box. If anything, do not add that snowplow of a replica lip.

Congrats on the purchase and safe driving.

1st, i put a couple thousand towards the car (18k for it, wish i got it for less but it was a good deal i think)

2nd, better than my old jetta that my sister is now driving no? haha and believe me there are kids with crazier cars that they're parents buy brand new when theyre still 16 (m3's, ss camaros, srt8 challengers, my best friend has a g37 for god sakes)

i dont plan on abusing this kind of car and driving like it a jerk. I want to keep it for a long time.

and as far as the ebay lip goes, it hit me that it would look really cheap in person. im looking at a greddy kit but idk... and a wheel change is looking like a bigger possibility everyday.

also, does anyone have a recommendation for an auto shop in northern jersey though. i went to one near teterboro but its a little far to be going back and forth every time i need something

Welcome to the forum. Get yourself along to your regional meet, you'll find you'll get overloaded with information, and probably good places for servicing.
