Yeah, plus coilovers (and a few others not pictured, but pics are up to date). What kind of pics?

What are the wheel/tire/drop specs?
Thanks. I've been thinking about the Varis or Top Secret front diffusers ever since I got the Z, but I still can't justify their price tags. My next choices would be Veilside V1 or Mine's lips (with sides and rears too, otherwise it'd look funny), but my front bumper is in no shape to have a nice lip put on. I've been looking for a new bumper (pre-painted DB) for a while now, but no luck.

Specs:
18x9.5 +12 all around
245/40 & 285/40
height of wheel arch at ~25.25" F & ~26.6" R

Updates/upgrades were long overdue and change was inevitable. I think I may even like the end result enough to forget about how much I spent.
Chris, the Z is looking good... I like the changes and new look.

You going to be able to get to the AutoX on the 14th ?

fgtex... I look forward to meeting you...although I will not be at the Coffee & Cars tomorrow. Enjoy it and get there early as it is very crowded to find parking. Anything after 8 am means your parking in the spots way back behind the event.....and too early...you'll be boxed in and won't be able to find the person's owner to move the car.

If you can get to the BBQ at IP's meet up in Flower Mound then I will be there.

^^^^^^ Ah be quiet.... My damn Lakers letting me down yet again !

I do have to say that Dallas is hungry for their first Ring.....but until they actually get one...I will always stand by my home team with 16 Rings ! Five of which Kobe got for them.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Mav's a lot...but in this instance for the playoffs...I have to stand with the Laker's all the way...even if they get sweep'd....which I think is a good possibility.

Hankook R-S3's mounted and ready to go !

Chris,

You got the exact tire setup I've been thinking about. Where did you buy them? How much?

Eric, I ordered the Rims online from Discount tire direct...they had or still have a $ 50 online coupon that basically cuts the shipping out...so all you have is Rims & local state tax. Total for BNIB rims shipped was like $ 760.00 to my door.
The tires I ordered from Discount Tire with the help of a friend of a friend kind of deal that saved me like 10% and mounting fee's.... but I basically spent another $ 1,000 for the Tires.

But everthing is Brand spankin' new and should be able to last a good season or even 2 on the them. ( fingers crossed )

I think I might sell the Volks and get some Enkei RPF1's with R-S3's also.....Then I can have two sets to AutoX on.

Nice to see you again in person Chris....glad you'll be down here for a few weeks. Lets definitely get a small group of us to hit up Nexx's sushi place in Bedford or the MK's in Ft. Worth area. Which ever is closer for us to get to.
