Alright, so its finally ready for pics. I got the car for what i thought was a really good deal, so I had no problem putting some cash into it. Only performance mods are nismo cai and the nismo exhaust. Really nice exhaust note on these cars. Here are the before pictures:
Looks sick, If I ever bought a Z it would look a lot like this one.
Only problem is the badges look super cheap like spray painted, not as clean as just taking them off. They are more noticeable now then they were stock.
Im def keeping the spoiler on. I actually will end up getting a new body kit and getting the whole car repainted black. Then Im just going to rebadge it so it looks stock (minus the body and spoiler obviously). I was thinking about nismo headers but they are tons of $ for not much gain. I doubt ill do much more performance wise. I enjoy my 26mpg highway.
Headers are NOT going to be worth the install hassle. Do test pipes, and Cat-back exhaust.
Honestly, there is no good looking body kit for that car besides the Nismo V1. You already have the sides, A GOOD quality replica can be had for the front bumper(pm dmoffit). The rears are 2 little stick on pieces. If you don’t want to finish the Nismo kit, return the sides to stock and just toss a front lip on.
you already know my opinion on this matter…good looking car, you should have left it alone though! it looked way better before you molested it, but like we have discussed many times, to each his own.
good looking car. but i like the badges not painted personally. i think the first impression people get is that either the entire car or bumpers has been resprayed and was corner cut.
