so...heres some new color options. thoughts?

some are common colors, like black, bronze, gold, etc. those would just be to no longer stand out and just fade back into the crowd.
let me have the green ones... and F*CK i wanted to do glow in the dark! why do we always have the same ideas... heres and idea... paint them a bullseye scheme haha and we have to hang sometime man... I think im going to really hate the color of my new wheels... ive already looked into multiple color choices but i really want to somehow do a Titanium like color on the entire wheel, saw it on a BMW online somewhere and i love it haha

PS: the guy with the green painted G35 wheels is the one that has your exhaust, SS roadster.... and he isnt a good guy either... just FYI... and just my opinion but i KNOW its your exhaust...

Hmm is that an AAM single out? I will look out for your car when i go to the meet, i have yet to hear any single outs in person...i kinda wana trade my gemini true dual for a single out...

I'll keep an eye out for you! As for the exhaust.. I just recently got it. It's the greddy ti-c. IMO its too loud. I've had louder cars before, but I miss my HKS true dual. A lot of the signature 350z sound is gone as well. I do however like the look more, especially with the bumper tuck

The member I got this from in stockton also has the AAM ti available. He was asking 550 OBO I believe. I found him on craigslist so I don't know his SN.

I dont know if i want to do a swap on exhuast right at this moment, i really need to get my wheels, then LSD, THEN coilovers and all the goodies that come with slamage lol. Of course this could all change if i find a fantastic deal...but boy does it really suck having a base model NON LSD Z...not like VLSD is any better lol but at least its some sort of limited slip!

Who all locally has coilovers and what kinds? I really wouldnt mind getting a ride to get a feel for what certain CO's feel like on the Z...i havent had that experience yet

I have d2 coilovers. They ride good, mine are on the hardest settings so it can be a little harsh at times. As far as handling, they handle similar to my old tanabe sustec pro 5's, but I like the true coilover in the rear. I mainly went with d2's because the lowering capability. Also the price is nice too My car is super slammed, and I can go in inch lower all around, and thats not even messing with preload yet. I can probably go another 2" with preload, but my car would literally be on the ground!

I was pretty stuck on either function form type 2's or fortune auto coils...but I'm still up in the air about it (no pun intended)

I have ridden in alota of other cars with d2's and ksports but not a z, they seem pretty dramatically different frm car to car lol

Maybe we can meet up sometime and I can cop a rode in your z?

Well.. there was kind of a fiasco. I ordered them originally from a company for $720 shipped. Never received them. After that I bought them off of a buddy of mine's G for $500. A steal for everything you get. True coilover in the rear, 32 way adjustable, preload adjustable, and super height adjustability. I think msrp is around $1400 but you can usually find them for around $800.
