Default Just a few pics of progress of the "new" car
Got the Z back in October of 2008. Been doing a few things here and there to her. Here's a few pics of when I got her.





And don't have any pics of her with the stock Chrome 5 spokes. But, here she is as of today after a quick wash.

looks way better that before, only thing see that sticks out and looks bad is that drivers side fender, it's sticking out quite a bit from alignment with the door.

it's really easy to go about fixing, just a few 10mm bolts

in that case you could probably tack it back with some 3m double sided tape, i had that happen on my old v6. fixed it right up.

LOL. Was thinking the same thing.

Car looks awesome man, great choice in color of wheels. If you asked me what else to do, I'd probably say lowering, maaaaybe do something with the tips, either bigger or cut them off, and to fix the fender

Looks great Mr. Sheriff!

I want a video of you doing something illegal in that car... Sheriff

Maybe some VHT on the corners would look good.
