When I first saw the pics I was skeptical... Then I went to test drive it and I liked the color much better in person and now it grew on me to the point where I wouldn't have it any other way!

you can buy brand new replacements on ebay for like 700 pair on the headlights. I bought some used bixenons for my 03 brick and had to wet sand and buff for a good 4 hours, and it still needs some spots redone. WELCOME TO THE Z COMMUNITY AND ENJOY.

Welcome.

I also have an Interlagos Fire. I painted my wheels a somewhat gunmetal color, I think it looks much better with this paint than the bright silver did.

Here's a pic if you'd like to see an un-photoshopped version of what you are considering.

Thanks. To be honest, I really like the stock wheels, and they look great painted. I was considering getting new wheels/tires etc, but painted these, threw on lowering springs and spacers, and the whole set up looks great, IMO.

Wheels will probably be the last thing I spend big dollars on- If I decide to. I would def recommend you paint them ($40-50) and then see how you like them.

I also considered a bronze/light gold color, bc I thought it would look nice with Interlagos Fire, but then thought I may get tired of the "flashy" color and went with something a little more muted. So, maybe something for you to consider.

Good luck!

Yeah I didn't move from bike to car by choice! Lol my bike got stolen but now that I have my Z I wouldn't have it any other way, don't get me wrong I loved my bike the problem was it was my only mode of transportation and it was annoying trying to lug things around! IM going to sit and stare at my Z now lol

It really depends on ride height. But mt roommate was using some 20/25 on Bach and 10/15 on front ant it looked pretty good. I think the spacers are for sal now too. Cause he put his wheels on.
