I happen to dug up my old Z license plate frame if anybody wants it for free. I'm next to DFW Airport.

Looks like this.. I don't have the cool bolt cover like you see in the picture anymore though. But the frame is yours if you want to pick it up. Still in good condition.



Dang looking at old pictures I miss my Z now.

They posted a gray black edition on FB recently. Either it was just finished or it was cruising with the one that was just finished. I saw their white one on 75 once up in Richardson.

- SNL Performance / Monster Clutch Co. is located inside a large business complex that has plenty of space to park and show off your ride. We do encourage everyone to park their cars accordingly so that the event stays organized.

- Dyno: The Dyno will be ready to go at 10AM sharp and it’s a first come/first serve basis. Come to the office and sign your waiver, we’ll call you when it’s your turn.

We’ll be doing 2 pulls for $40.00 plus a sheet with your results.

that lip looks very cool - i didn't notice until today that it says it will fit the stock bumper - nice

you might think about using thick safety wire instead of the hard metal rod?

so in other words it will stay taught while driving as that lip is going to be pulling down on the cable because of the down force - but if you hit a bump it will give and relax rather than pushing that rod through your bumper - maybe those have little shocks in there though?

maybe that idea is better on paper than real life - i couldn't seem to find anything like what i was describing - although - seems like it would be a good application for that Stillen splitter that has some rigidity provided by the front bumper - so the cables hold it at the desired angle to provide that front bite, and any bumps allow for deflection... but as i said, probably not needed - couldn't find an example anywhere. and probably not really necessary or practical -

chrrz - can't wait for pics

Probably a long shot but I figured I'd ask...

Any of you local guys interested in a set of 17" stockers from my 03? I pulled the rubber off this weekend and will be putting them on Craigslist soon if no one needs. They have less than 10k miles on them, I just kept them around incase I needed a track set to powder coat and thrash on.

I'll clean them up and get pics up soon... in the Frisco/Little Elm area but can drive within reason.

If rods are required, putting on wires in its place is a bad idea, I'd think. If the lip was to flip up at a high speed for whatever reason, because you wanted to "deflect," then you'll probably cause lift in the front end.
