Sorry about the date on the pics... I loaned the camera out, a couple days before...

And I'll say it again, the Z looks AWESOME!! Keep up the good work.

David- thanks for the pics, date or note date....your pics came out great, and I have been reusing them all throughout the forum along with AJ's pics and Rods

saywat?-what color would you have suggested? Not planning on changing the color but curious in your suggestion.....the only thing I am changing on the caliper is the Alliance logo, I am going to have that changed to black....

UPDATE: picking up the car today from GX Auto...Engine bay was painted flat black....Over all experience with GX has been great, I mean their work speaks for itself.... throughout this entire experience they have been very helpful in bringing my vision into reality.......Much props goes out to them....Many thought the car wouldn't have made it into the show, me being one of them, but they Delivered...... If anybody is interested in getting some custom work done, or simply having something repainted/painted or installed, hit them up (808)833-6122- ask for Mike

huh???
Different strokes for different folks I guess White and Purple would not flow IMO, any other blue would look like I tried to color match but didn't quite get it....either way I am pretty happy with how they turned out, just got get the alliance letters black

I'm telling you... just take a tape measure and see how much room you have between the tire/rim and the fender. It will tell you real quick if a 20 mm is going to be too much. I did it and came within 1mm of the exact spacer size (I assume because of additional natural camber as my offset changed). If you don't have a tape measure in mm, use a conversion calculator online.

most of you might not know but he still has his fender liner and none rolled or cut fender so skies the limit...

first need to raise it up alittle

me personally upping your tires is all you need to do in the front same in the rear and your golden!

cause you still wanna drive your car right? raise it a full inch and up the tires!

Thanks guys, car went back into GX for a few touch ups, as soon as she comes back out I will proceed with taking measurements. I am planning on shaving fenders once I decided on spacers.... As for Tires...hmmmmm I might go wider not sure yet, I don't want tires to look Blimpy.....For now I will rock the stretch look and hopefully the spacers will make a night and day difference.
SILKZ03- I will definitely be hitting you up for shipping info, when the time comes

Good deal. You might want to cut the fenders and then measure. That way you will know for certain how far out you want to push out. Then again, if you do it the opposite way, you'll know exactly how much of the fender should be cut...

I definitely think you need to go with spacers. Tires won't help the face of the rim being flush which is what you want to see (I would think...).

I am going to get spacers then cut...I have seen to many people cut fenders and not even need it, and they are left with an even bigger gap and it looks funny.... I am planning on getting spacers first so I know exactly how much is needed to shave
