I thought it was the rear strut Z emblem just wasnt sure. How do you stick it on? Just use a good automotive tape?

Yup, I believe so. Just need to snap off a couple of prongs that are sticking out. I actually bought a couple of sills, snapped off the Z emblems, broke off the tabs/prongs on the back, and applied 3M double sided tape, then decided to hold off putting that emblem on the back...

Wow, nice back end. The 285 don't look wide at all on that shot. Did you have roll your fender? Is your car lowered? what is your tire spec?(EDIT: nevermind, read your mod list, but would be instereted in knowing if you rolled your fender)

Correct, 3m tape, and used a very sharp razor to outline the Z, has held up great.

ZlleH: Lowered 1 inch all around with 285's, I did have to roll my fenders to give the correct clearance.

What's your rear offset?

Not a great angle, but 285's work well on my rears. Too bad my wheels aren't a better offset. I'm thinking of rolling the fenders and dropping in some small spacers to push them out a hair.

Oh no, is that an INGS LX kit? How does the Fujitsubo exhaust sit with the rear bumper? Did it burn or stain the paint? Did you have to modify the angle of the exhaust to make sure it didn't touch?

Thanks man...looking good

maximumsportZ - Yup, I was in efnet a few times with you guys. Is that chat still going?

35oZephyR - I'll post more pics soon. I should be picking the car up from the body shop tomorrow where we had some major issues with some various things. I'll just say that my crappy Veilside hood was in there to get modded and fitted and it ended up having to get the rear bumper/hatch repainted.

BhashaZ - Yeah, the Fuji works very well with the Ings LX style rear. So far I haven't noticed any sort of damage to the paint. It's tight but there's enough of a gap in there so the heat shouldn't harm anything.
