Good news guys!

I talked to Mr. James Evins from S3 magazine about our idea to do a shoot of the most aggressive Z's from each southern city and he was more than down! I met James at Import Reactor in Houston after he asked to shoot my car along with two of the SwangnBang G's. I'm confident he is the man for the job.

We all know that Texas and Louisiana are killing the scene right now so this would be a great way to bring it to light.

Sooo on to scheduling.... I'm thinking early June. I want to give enough notice so that everyone can plan ahead and make it out. I agree with the suggestion to host it in Houston since its in the middle for most.

Thoughts?

(The lip is at my parents house 60+ miles away)
i put on all 4 bolts, and put 3m double sided tape in the middle

that sounds a little flimsy, are you super low or just low, because mine is best friends with the ground, they kiss each other every time I drive haha. If I put mine on like that, it might just come off.

we need more aggressive Z's in florida. most people in the SFZCC (south florida z car club) look down on stretched tires, and tell me my car is absurdly lowered... well i do have the lowest Z in the club so they may be right

i started a "Z's with spot on fitment thread" where i post lots of cars from this thread. here's a link. http://www.sfzcc.com/forum/showthrea...pot-on-Fitment im trying to get some of the sfl z owners into fitment. here's some of their responses:

"I am seeing a theme, it is absurdly slammed cars and wheels that stick out with super stretched tires"

"I guess right fitment like beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

"and the 350 i never understood the "lets lower the car and not fix the camber" idea it looks like the car is being used as a pickup truck not a sports car"

"Stretch tires FTL!!!"

"im liking the first couple of red 350zs and then the last one kills it with its horrible camber and stretched tires. the best 350z one i have seen may have been that red z33 with the black wheels and red accent strip. nice, flush, and straight. the turbo kit probably doesnt hurt either. lol"

"IMO if you need to run negative camber not to rub, that's not "Spot on Fitment""

some people just dont get it... oh well, my car is gangsta! haha
