I must admit that those seats are pretty gross looking, but you picked up the z for a super low price. Congrats on the new ride!

They actually aren't too bad in person, though my camera catches things even the naked eye can't see lol. Full detail is coming very soon. Thanks for the congrats!

Went to the shop to get this trunk issue solved, turns out I had to flip over the actual bracket that the shocks are attached to. Whoda thunk they would go on the opposite way the stock ones were

Driver side before


Pass before


After - Much better


This little guy was the culprit. This is actually AFTER I flipped it over. It doesn't look right this way IMO but it does make the hatch flush with the roof...whatev


And here's a pic of the shop, 8 bays, 6 lifts and everything else I could ever need (There's more stuff I didn't fit into the frame)

Ya reason i like PBM is because its quality product at a good price. At formula D last year i was talking to one of the mechanics for a litte and got to closely at their car and they have been running the super angle, camber kit, and coilovers for a couple years they said and not had any problems. theres some pretty sick drift videos there too
KW V3's are great too though if you have the omney to spend though
I notice the difference with a thicker strut bar when drifting too versus the oem one
Make sure you still have the heat shield even if you get the JWT pop charger

I remember now I had bookmarks for intakes and I had either the popcharger or a DC short ram. Wish heat shield was included

It is included with a JWT popcharger, just order one and your set. You need a new intake tube also , the OEM one works great or get the one from Z1 motorsports.

Yes, that one

It's the same price for the standard red, blue and black. but if you wanted anything other than those, then it would cost extra.

I just said screw it and ordered the black with blue couplers...
