Yes I forgot about the painted wheels and I did miss the body kit with SCREWS. It's actually sad to see stuff like this on a Z but it's common now. I am totally disgusted after what I saw at stillen this weekend.

Anyway, no I didn't go. Truth be told, I haven't been impressed with this show/meet or the previous Z nationals. Seems more people are sharing my lack of enthusiasm now.

Did you go to that carshow on Sunday in Murietta?

nope couldn't take my car to either, I didn't have seats or a turbo in the car.

lol actually anything Mine's makes for the Z33 is just GHEY IMHO. Overpriced, ugly piece of craps.
Don't get me wrong, Mine's is one of the most respected JDM tuning house and their R34 is just plain SICK. But the things they have out for the Z33 are just

the base of their wing is pretty much the same as the bmw ac schitzner (sp?) rear wing for the m3. so they're using 'off the shelf' parts....if i was them.. the oem wing offers a flat mounting surface compared to the droop that the oem hatch does toward the end..

doesnt look that bad- did the guy have mines mirrors, cf door finishers and mine's lip? if so he might just be trying to re-create the Jdm mine's look.
