Some semi big changes over the past 10 days…
Thursday, April 21, 2005 11:20 PM
Well I posted the first pics of my Z about 10 days ago, and since then I've made some big changes. So here we are...

Before:









After:











Added the tint ( 20% all the way around, 5% strip on windshield...which now has a crack in it, so that will be replaced soon...$200 that could have gone somewhere else), Pace Setter Cat Back system, and of course the 18" Axis TC Evos...

Yep...

I know that the red lip/ring on the rims matches the color of the car, but i would say to take them off once to see what you think without them. Otherwise all it needs now is a drop

Drop it, get rid of the side mouldings those red lips....The polised look will make the rims pop way more.

I would remove the red ring and get a rear lip with a cut out for the exhaust......keep up the work

stated in another post here and they were right, those rims are the mr7's for 2005

thanks for the input...

I like the molding, I think thats part of what makes the Z's...Z's ( at least before they took the Z24 logo off it )

As for the lip, thats the main reason I bought these rims, I have yet to see anyone around here with these rims, or similar, and I liked them alot and wanted something to color match so the red lip will most likely stay...

and thanks about the exhaust, it's not too bad...I think it was a wise choice as opposed to getting just a muffler...

Personally, the rims are not my style. But if you like 'em, rock 'em! So far looking good. I agree that you need some sort of lip on the rear bumper, to give the back end the 'finished' look. As well, definitely drop that bish!

How do you like the pacesetter exhaust? Is it loud, raspy, smooth, kinda quiet? Thanks.



I may not know much about cars, but I know two things....
1) Breaking things is expensive, and
2) Horsepower isn't cheap.

Looks really good. I would say lower it and you're done!

Looks good, I'm not sure what people are saying about the rear bumper though. It's a stock z kit...shouldn't it keep the stock z bumper?? well anyway, it should look awesome when you lower it.

Not a fan of those rims, but I'll give you kudos for being original. (In your area, that is)

Anyhow, Nice job otherwise. Now it just needs lowered. And if I were you, I'd look into getting the door handles and mirrors painted to match your car.

those wheels don't look like much in silver, but they look much better dark. I've yet to see a set in person though, so hard to judge. I know they don't look bad though. nice

hahaha umm sure their bud, and your 6 spoke white rims and the bomex kit isn't LOL - You have to understand that this site is huge and the guys that bought these rims dont live in the same area, not even close.

By the way i think those rims look great on your car, the red ring looks very good, i say keep it on

Looks good man. I'd just lower it and call it quits for the outside of the car. You should come out to the NEO meet next Saturday.
