Ok, finally got my chrome wheels on, tinted the windows, removed the stock grill, and got my clear/smoked turns with LEDs in. Washed, waxed and lookin purdy...

Anybody have any thoughts on the appearance, anything I can add or take away to set me apart from other Arctic Z's?

Well, being as how I have sat and watched two people bang their doors into mine, side molding will stay. I gave it some thought, but would rather save the doors.

Been thinking about a hood, but they are mucho dinero, might have to wait. What's a CME? Thanks by the way...

I just cant get myself to like the removed front grills. It just looks like a piece is mising with all the holes. Looks like you left the body shop early before the UPS guy got there. I dunno... but other than the grill. Lookin clean thus far!

Haha, I KNOW what you mean. I was thinking about doing some of my own work filling the small holes and repainting the entire area (some rubbing spots from stock grill anyways). But, I do love the look of the two larger holes...looks a lil meaner.

As you can see on mine, i have the grill removed also. I think it makes the car look meaner as you say. Some like it, some don't. I'm planning on gettin the entire car repainted early next year, so i'm gonna fill in those little holes. I'm also gonna attempt to make some grill inserts for the big holes.

Your car looks sweet so far, can't think of what else you could do.

Are those just a set of the factory 16" chrome five stars or did you get them aftermarket? I just got an Arctic Z28 too with the hideous 10-star alloys and have been thinking about finding a set of chrome 5-stars so it'll look nice and I can keep my tires for now (which are still 90%). Where did you get your set?

Exactly! I wanted to keep my tires too, so I picked up a set of these for $300 shipped off of another member. keep your eyes peeled, they'll show up.

thank you, got the corners off of ebay and the leds online. I posted in the stereo/electronics forum all of the info on them with other pics, search that forum for "LED clear corners" and I think it should show up...
