I was thinking about an intake and ill have to look into it. I'm way too stubborn and still have my mind set on coils though

from the look of your pics your car is an 06. Don't waste your money on an intake - your stock airbox is far superior. Just get a K&N drop in and call it a day.

May I suggest a Motordyne MREV2 and Spacer.


all the best bro!

I'm not going to smoke the tails. I don't want the clear bra because it is visible while on the Z and doesn't look too pretty. I'd rather just respray it every few years.

I've never seen a black Z look so shiny! Car looks great. I'd recommend getting an HR hood. Idk, any Z with the HR hood looks like it's missing something to me. Give it a newer and more aggressive look. And good idea on spacers. I'm installing mine soon.

Sorry about the late response, kind of forgot about this thread. I got Ichiba 25mm and 30mm spacers for the Z and it looks so much better now! I also opted to not smoke my tail lights. I like the LED look of the 06+ tails. However, it it were an 05 or newer, I would smoke them, especially on a PPW. I kind of like my hood believe it or not, I used to like the look of the HR hood until someone asked me " do those Z's with lifted hoods have superchargers?" He was a mustang driver....

Please take new pictures showing your stance. I want to see if I should go 25/30 or 20/25.

Go 25/30. 20/25 doesn't really justify the $200+ in spacers if you ask me. I don't have a camera at the moment, but I can tell you the front and rear tires are now 100% flush with the fender. With 25 in the rear, the tire will still look like its hiding.
