Default Just purchased my first Z car.

Actually first import in general. Im an ex LS1 owner. Anyways about the newer ride.

A pretty sweet 2004 6spd with 42k. Its got some mods, but I havent really looked into much depth about them. From what I can see it has a carbon wing, 19inch 3 piece looking rims (black), CAI (looks like greddy) some sort of FP regulator maybe? and some suspension pieces( springs ect...)

Thought I would start coming to these forums to try and learn about the car, and hopefully meet some cool people locally. Ill put some higher res photos up when it stops raining

Thanks,
Jake

yeah the wing is already in the works of being replaced, besides it looking redic, it blocks the limited view out the rear hatch...looking to replace it with something much lower profile. But from i can find online, similar looking spoilers are pricey...Im not sure of the brand, but as i find out more info, ill relay it along...thanks for the welcome

Thanks, i look forward to it as well...as far as grounding kit, do you mean it has been lowered, or something along the lines of a body kit, or pieces?

Yeah im not to what else besides the FPR, i think it has an upgraded front sway bar the CAI and quite possibly a cat back...what are the benefits of the FPR? Maybe the car was boosted at one point? Any sure fire things i can look for to see if that was the case?
