Ok well it started out about 2 months ago when I bought my z24. I bought it just a Daily Driver and told myself that I would not do anything to it like mods. Well little did I know this being my 3rd car and here we go again. So for the past month to month 1/2 I have been picking up some things from j-body members that have been selling things and here is my progress so far. I'm not done yet but I would like to get everyone opinion on what they think and maybe some suggestions. Here is a list of things I have done since I got the car.
Flowmaster Exhaust
19" TSW Nogaro's
Tokico D-specs
Road Magnet Lowering Springs
Aluminum Front / Rear Strut Tower Braces
B&M Short Throw Shifter
TRD Kit
TRD Spolier (Not Installed Yet)
New 95-99 Factory Fogs
Black LED Tails
Black Headlights
Black Turns
Emblems and Badges Removed
20% Tint
When I first got her after putting the black headlights, black turns and black LED tails and getting the windows tinted:
And this is now:
I plan on painting the drums and calipers red tomorrow as well
Also thanks to all the ones I bought the parts from they have went to a good home
i think you need the import fighter rear or 03-05 ls sport rear. but damn thaT LOoks good !
I'm not the biggest fan of the TRD kit, but looks good. Some Toyota tails would finish it off nicely.

SICK, JUST SICK!!!!! i love this car!!!
first one i have ever seen that actually put the 95-99 fog lights WHERE THEY BELONG with the trd front. thank you for finally doing this.
only thing i think needs done is get some sort of a lip or different rear bumper... it just looks too plain.
I must confess... I feel like a monster!
Looks like you've met up with alias and the01cav lol

Yeah and I flush mounted them to the back of the bumper so there is no gap.

Yep I actually ended up with alias whole kit. Thing is I bought it from 3 different members lol. And yeah you guessed it I bought the01cav's wheels and suspension of his 03 he sold.
As for the rear I want a 03-05 LS Sport rear but everyone I find they want a arm and a leg for lol.
please don't paint the calipers and drums red unless they are upgraded big calipers and rear discs.

I like it alot.
I have always wanted to run that kit but was afraid to. Just seams to big for me. Im a fan. 95-99 fogs are a perfect addition.

Like it alot only suggestion I have is get a ls sporb rear or IF like stated and lose those tails for sure they are tacky. I would sTick with some stickers or toyos or just some night shaded tails would match ur car better. Looks nice though good job piecing it alltogether
first iv seen the TRd kit with fogs on the ord. that looks so good. didnt even notice until someone mentioned it
I could have sworn that Andy ran the fogs on the kit when he had it on the car as well.

Beautiful! Calipers will look good red but don't show off your drums. Find a rear bumper or even a lip and I would remove the pin stripe but I've never liked them on anything. Personally I would leave the wing off, but if you like it more power to ya. Nice work.

Oh yea paint those handles too
minus the tails that car is beautiful and the fact that you said your getting a rear lip for it just waiting to find one i wont say that it needs one
Don't paint your drums red, that looks like ass. Paint 'em black.
Love the kit, looks damn sexy, needs an LSS rear lip or something to flow with your kit.
As mentioned, toyos would accent the TRD kit very nicely.
I'd lose the pinstripe too... just my .02 cents
very nice car, I can't wait to see more progress

I like but it looks like you have a bit of a rake going there. The rear sits higher than the front or maybe thats just the kit or something idk.
i think something about the rims dont do it for me. i think they look too big and out of place or something.
Wow I Love it!! Very nice work
car looks great!!! definitely an awesome transformation!
please lose the tails though!
car looks good tails gotta go but other than that very nice keep up the work
Pin stripe.... Yeah it was on the car when I got it and I have been thinking about removing it or at least chopping it off at the back quarter panel so it doesn't run all the way around the back and on the trunk.
Gah do the tails really look that bad lol. I got them because the way I got them wired they give the since of a corvette or something with 2 round circles on each side. I'll take a look at the toyo's tho.
Btw has anyone got a picture of a IF rear I am having a hard time finding a good picture of one.
keep the pinstripe!
but for sure chop it off, and take it off the trunk.
other than taht, keep it!
it makes the car look like it came almost factory with the kit like that!!
makes it look more official, and stock looking.
i have a 05 LS Sport rear bumper in the classifieds...but its brand new from GM.
went to my local parts counter at the chevy place and got it. so idk if its too much for you or not...
and i say paint the rear drums red as well as the calipers! ...looks to goofy red up front, and nothing
in the back, either that or paint both front and rears black so you dont see them at all. but i would go for red
on all four corners...just personal preference i guess.
and for sure loose the tails!
the 1999 toyotal tails would go PERFECT on your car!
ALSO, im not a fan of the TRD wing....your stock Z24 one looks tits!
especially with an LSS rear, and toyo tails!
