just got a few knick knacks on the car, the spoiler being the big one. dropping her off next week to get my springs put on, lower it a little bit, i think she's coming along well!

added these CF inserts.......

front plate FTL

wing looks great but i think you need a front lip and drop it some.it would really set off the wheels.

thanks for the comments guys

doing it myself? HA! i like letting businesses do stuff like that, just incase something breaks, they pay for it, not me. besides, i don't have many tools or even a driveway worthy of such a task, lol.

as for the wheels, they are TSW Thruxtons, 19x8 fronts and 19x9.5 rears. and even though you didn't ask, the tires are Falken FK452, 245/35 fronts and 275/35 rear. i honestly don't know the offsets on the wheels and i wish i did. it would make ordering spacers a lot easier. i was thinking 10mm in front and 15mm in the back, or maybe 10mm all around. *sigh*

19s are the best size for the Z according to most folks.

oh and everyone knows that black is the fastest color on any car.
