Some updated pics of my "wanna-be Z"
Monday, June 26, 2006 8:54 PM
Just click to see the full size pics








And for those who may ask how the fitment is on the hood and trunk, here are some more pics





Those are air bubbles in the hood. I picked it up from CBD as a B-Grade hood for dirt cheap. The trunk lid fit extremely well for a fiberglass piece. Just a few minor edge imperfections, but nothing to really complain about considering it is fiberglass. On another note, I am getting gunmetal Konig Reasons installed on Thursday, so the steelies will be going bye-bye.

^^^ummmm.......no.
1. I painted the front lip black because I like the way it looks, and i've alreay scraped it getting in and out of my driveway.
2. I'm not painting my mirrors. I think it looks better with the gloss black paint I used, since the rest of trim around the windows is black.
2. My car is lowered, but only 1.6" on the full Tokico D-Spec suspension kit. I prefer a slightly lowered and well handling car over a slammed car. Believe me, this car sticks to the road like glue.
3. The wheels I am having installed are 15's, since the tires I have on my steelies are only a few months old. No sense in wasting a perfectly good set of tires. Besides I don't like the way big rims look on our cars. I prefer a smaller rim with a fat tire.

^^^Thanks for the input. I don't want to come off like an a-hole or anything like that. The only other things I'm doing to it are the rims, like previously stated, and i also have a spare set of headlights and corner lights that I am taking apart and painting flat black like these here:


This is my daily driver so I just want to keep it clean and simple

looks good only thing since you dont wanna paint the front lip, you should paint the grill and the fog light housings to match the bumper

^^^Actually, i got the hood for $300 shipped. I bought it last September from them through eBay. And yeah, the imperfections really aren't noticable unless your really looking over the hood for them.
