Default 17 year old newbie

Whats going on guys? My names Kris and i got my Silver 99 Z about 8 months ago. I haven't really had much money to do mods yet but i have got 3"true duals with dynomax bullets and i really like how it sounds. Also the new Goodyear GSC's that were on my car when i got it lasted about 2 months, I dont know what happened to them, but I got some Kumho Ectsa's and they seem to be pretty good tires. Just thought I'd introduce myself and say hey.

Nice car man

My suggestions:

Eibach pro-kit , or sportlines
Some FM5's
Dark *** tint
a Cowl hood
An SS spoiler

Then youl be set

And I lik ehow you have taken the emblems off, keep it like that.

17 year old with FM5s? Well, if you got the money, then go for it. Classic rims right there.
