I'm not sure where you thought we would make fun of you if you went to one of our meets, but your Z is not as bad as you think it is.

I would suggest that you read this thread:

Feel free to stopby our February meet and we can also help answer any of your questions

Lol man I'm paranoid from the SoCal Ricer thread. I see the ebay exhausts and got gun shy. Lol I drive through the South Bay and see numerous pics from there. I will probably go to the February meet. Need to get over the anxiety lol.

Waizzz - Thanks man that helped a lot. I no longer want to do any upgrades after reading that and want to make my car completely stock! Maybe I will just make it look sexier lol. Ok I'm lying I will always want to do mods just need to consider the trade offs and yeah I believe I will be there in February.

gs400 - lol are you serious or just messing with me?

NoQuestionZ - I am considering, can you PM me your price?

I have seen the Invidia exhaust. I have also looked into the nismo. Basically I don't want it to sound like I am 16. I have figured I would budget about 1500 for an exhaust.

No one has mentioned gapping from the headlights to the front number. I do need some work done regardless so if any so cal people know shops or individuals please let me know
MRR is a middle/lower end brand. Not the bottom of the barrel. I would ditch the 20's though. 19's are the way to go. Honestly, the first thing I'd do is look for wheels. Spend 2g's on something nice in the market place and sell the MRRs for a grand.

That exhaust is awful. Stock would be better.

The headlight gaps look normal. I don't think that your bumper has been removed. If it has, it was reinstalled at about 90% or better.

Brickyard is a color that was available on the earlier Z's, similar to your color. Yours is an '06 right? In which case, yours is Interlagos metallic. If that's the case, Interlagos is a rare multistage color that cost extra IIRC.
