GREAT pics.......as expected!

Worth the wait!

Your finish looks better than new........How the heck do you do that with all your track miles???

What I'd really like to see, is you changing the color of your front hats........

You got 'em, USE 'em!

I'm going to go off on a rant here, not directed at you, Bruce, but... I don't care how many thousands of people swear by/worship Zaino. I use 3M Imperial Hand Glaze and 3M Perfect-It Show car wax to get that finish. It only costs $10 a bottle and you simply can't argue with the results. On close inpsection my front bumper is riddled with debris hits.

As far as my hats, they are eggplant/purple color in the right lighting. I smeared 1200 degree rated pads all over those rotors so I know I've been using them.

I've got a Clear Bra that has saved my snout.....

But my brakes look NASTY! Purple is only learning the brakes....mine are STARTING to turn brown!

And my shinny black calipers are now milky. Oh well, I bought 'em to use 'em.

When are we going to race?

I just put 18" Nismos on yesterday with Dunlop SP9000s. Offsets are +25 Front and +30 Rear. I like the look. I'm not fond of the 19" slammed look. 19s will not handle better, slamming will not improve it eather. As it is, I scrap my front now, and I had to get special ramps to change my oil. 18" and no slamming for me, thank you very much.

I had originally bought an S2000 antenna for the Z. When I got the Si, I swapped for it's antenna which is a little more streamlined than the S2000 version.

Those wheels would look so much more aggressive in 19" with a lower offset. I still haven't seen a better looking 18" wheel for the Z than the stock track wheels. But as long as you love 'em, nothing else matters.
