My latest look, veilside carbon front, rear, painted sides with XXR wheels, plus more

Well this is the look that i actually wanted for my car for over a year and finally got around to just seling my previous wheels and doing it. I added the veilside carbon fiber front and rear lip with painted sides. I had the painted front grill, carbon fiber mirror covers, front eyelids, and roof wing. I also vinyl overlayed (just the front flat angle and left the curves chrome) the front and rear emblems with a matching metallic red vinyl to match the wheels. Once i installed the kit i also upgraded my suspension and matched my eibach prokit with D-specs, Tanabe swaybars front/rear, and also a Tanabe rear camber kit to try and save the tires a bit. I also covered my stoppers with brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors, stainless steel brake lines, and also hawk performance brake pads. As for performance, i have an fuji short ram intake matched to Borla headers and also the Borla true dual exhaust system. Im waiting for my red lug nuts to come in. Well let me know wht you guys think and if their is any more of your guys in south jersey, let me know. Oh, i forgot, the carbon fiber 350z induction vent that i installed in the front bumper, and yes i know guys before you say it, that its totally just for looks and doesnt do anything for performance since any airflow into it is blocked.

The front license plate's gotta go.

It looks like you installed the vent to be parallel with the line on the bumper, but probably would have looked better if it was lined up parallel with the ground. I personally would have left it out entirely. To each his own...

Maybe some spacers are in order as well..


Other than THAT, very nice OB...

Sorry, it just doesn't look that good. Those fugly Sportmaxx wheels just don't cut it. Look at those weak offsets. Also, why would you have that CF scoop that's made for a 350Z? It doesn't match the lines of the G's bumper. Wack.

Wht can i do with the front license plate, if i take it off...im basically asking for a ticket every time i pass a cop in NJ..

I matched the bottom line of the vent with the upper line of the bumper opening...

Wht SIZE spacers can i use in the front, i already have what i think is a 3 or 5 mm spacer in the back...

thanks to man...
