Eric, that is the most extreme stretch I have seen !

How can you actually drive your car like that ?

Whatever !

Yeah the fitment on that car is worse than most of the stretched applications. But the kicker for me was all the stickers. Not just the hideous front lip, but on the hatch window and the mirrors. rice rice rice

My thanks to Q,

For allowing me swap out Tails and Get some '06 LED Tails for the Z !

Damn, I didn't realize how bright those tails are for real......I really love them. Thanks Q !

I can now say that I really love my Rear.

06+ taillights FTMFW! I got mine for free due to "shipping damage."

Chris - Good to hear you have warranty. I'd check every single TSB, recall, and other issues (window motor, window grease streak, etc) before it runs out.


BTW, changing your window motor is pretty simple. It looks like a lot of work, but it really isn't. Just be ready to break a couple of plastic tabs. After doing it about 5-6 times, I feel like I can do it blindfolded now. On my way up to Chicago, I thought my window motor was starting to act up, but I didn't get a chance to confirm it (don't really drive my car here). If I replace it again, it'll be the 3rd motor for me.


And as for that horrible Z that Eric posted.... wow. No words could formulate a decent excuse for the stickers. And the wheel/tire fitment is just atrocious. Hellaflush/fatlace/etc are cool to a degree, but that's just an over-exaggeration of a hype that should be punishable by death. With that being said, cool pentagram wheels.

Ya the 06 bi xenon hids will blow away the 03-05 hid headlights and any other plug and play headlight out tree since they're true projector hids rather than a bs pos reflector base the 03-05 has.

Q,

Don't take any Shiet from those Salesman....just stick to your guns and tell them exactly what you want with no compromise ! It will take a couple of times to just pick up & go out their door.
