Default Not new owner.. new to the forum

My name is david and i've had my 6mt lemans sunset z for about a year or so now, and have always crept around the forum for answers and stuff, but never formally introduced myself. I bought my Z about a year ago, back when I was still in high school, and before anyone says anything about it, I paid for the entire thing myself, and its actually MY second car, not my parents. Before this I had an 01 celica gt, and got sick of the lack of torque, and as soon as i test drove my z i knew i had to have it. When I bought it there was a good deal that needed to be fixed, and even though i paid it off almost immediately, i still couldnt afford to mod it the way i wanted because I was constantly fixing things that were wrong with it.

Heres my Z: (hate on the wheels if you want, thats what was on it when i bought it, and like i said earlier, havent had the money to mod it the way i want it)

Welcome Brotha!

I love the color! Looks like you have some sort of racing seat? I do not think the wheels look all that bad, not the best/not the worst. Wheels would look a lot better if the car was lowered. Only things I would recommend immediately: buff and polish your headlights to remove the haze and get a s2000 antenna for $20 shipped!

Thanks!
yeah, sparco's!


you should see the other headlight, its gouged pretty badly from whoever owned the car before me. Ive been looking for another set of headlights, preferably the HR headlights because i just think they look better. i'll post another picture as to why I dont like the wheels, its more the lip of the wheel that i dont like.

The wheels are not that bad.The "rainbow"/burned lips IMO,look crappy.
Instead of going with the touring wheels(your other post),you may want to consider
darkening your wheels to more of a hyper-black.DupliCOLOR has a SHADOW kit that
lets you apply several coats until you get the shade you want.
What the hey,try it?If anything,it would look better than what you have.

Tidy Z. Always better to keep something aside for expenses anyway, rather than mod. Mod is a luxury if purse strings are tighter than you would like.

+1 on the headlight cleaning, definitely worth while doing, on a superficial basis and a practical one, makes a big difference to the beam. I use Turbo Wax Headlight Restoration Kit. The bottles last for a lonnng time.
