I think if you lower it it could pull of those 02-05 350Z base/touring wheels much better ;D And lets see some engine bay shots! ---

It is lowered 1 inch in the front. I will not go any lower because of the roads that i have to drive on. The only engine bay pics i have are the ones before i cleaned it and the car is stored for the winter ---

not to go off topic, but steve(ninety1two40) is sucking it up in Live for speed right now on my comp so ill post them up later. And mine will be updated as well, as we just got done yankin the heart out But joey his car looks 10x better in person And jim, i agree for some reason 350Z wheels set off the look a litle bit, when there lowered it looks a lot better, but he doesnt live in the most forgiving area for a slammed car ---
