Hey guys, check it out! New pics!

Well, about two and half months ago, i got a hit and run on my car while it was parked on the streets of Chicago. I guess that just push me to get the looks that i wanted for the Z. Front Greddy bumper, F1 fenders, third brake light panel, turbo spoiler w/LED, clear Euro corner lights, DIY JSPEC tail lights and clear side bumper lights, custom made nose panel grill. And a bunch of other little things. Well check it out and tell me what u guys think and if u can suggest something. Here they are:

the paint job is superb. Looks really good and reflective.
the fenders are a matter of taste as are the DIY tails.
i think the jdm tails would look soo much nicer, but that's just me.

That is a nice bit of work. Your right muffler seems bent though. Is the front panel your own creation?

Looks good, but I hate mods, keep your z's factory, but that's just my opinion.

looks good. not over the top. more than i would ever do, but not riced out by any means. only suggestions would be real JDM tails and maybe new wheels. but as long as the factory wheels are in good shape, i would stick with them. other than that, i would say you have found a good stopping point.

thanks everyone. now, come to think of it, the real JSPEC tail lights aren't bad lookin'. i saw it on a local Z by my house. the black lines that go through the signals and brake lights probably would match my Z even more because it's black. although the one's i saw looked great on the silver Z too. as for wheels, i am planning to get black wheels with a two inch chrome lip about.. 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 for rear. but i'll probably upgrade to a stage IV before that. I see riced out Z's around my neighborhood all the time and it is just such a waste.

Ummmm .... Tak, your wheels are on backwards.
Z32 wheels are directional, and marked for left and right.
Yours are switched.

No, that's not photoshoped, it's my Z!!!!

LOL


Oh I don't know, I found it someplace and just added it to the archive.

very good eye there barry. yeah, i know about the wheels. i have them switched now. at the time of the picture, my buddy thought it was cool to rotate my tires. i found out about it after i took the pics. i told him about the difference in the wheels. he had left on right, front on back and vice versa. it was funny.

Soon, I just may be quitting this crap hole of a job I have now for another slightly closer to home and better paying crap hole of a job. If that's the case I'll have all week to get her shined up and ready for the camera

Where did you order the clear side markers for the rear? I've been looking over the net but haven't had much success

Where did you find the side markers for the rear? I really love the nose panel also, I would love to have one for mine.

thanks luckyz. the clear rear side markers are DIY. i bought the clear lenses from zxdriver.com. here's the link: http://zxdriver.com/shop/default.htm...tml&lang=en-us It was kind of a bitch to sand down all the orginal red lense but it does give the Z a clean look. i also painted the housing black to add that smoked lense look. Or if you want all the work done for you for about $120 plus S&H, conceptzperformance sells them here: http://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/...60675.2.86.172

yeah, some A hole decided to step on my exhaust but I caught him as he was trying to brake it. no, the nose panel was custom made by this guy and I added the mesh and Z logo later.

Tell me you strung the guy up by his *****. I would've let my car run for a while and made him step on it barefoot. Let the exhaust get a few good kicks in before I beat him senseless.

Oh, he got what he asked for. You know you're cautious when you see someone standin' by your Z . He was drunk and just wanted to be stupid.
