Exterior Ideas?

Hey guys sorry I haven't been keeping y'all up to date, but I went with a glossy satin black. I think they turned out pretty well.

How wide of spacers do the stock Z wheels need? Not sure if Sport Package wheels are any different than base, but that's what I have.

did you drop the car? that always makes a big change and it's always good to have that as a foundation so you know how your car will sit

That's a pretty sick drawing, but hopefully I would like to end up with something like this.

On a slightly more serious note:

Has anyone ever used (or seen) the space between the hood ridges as a "racing stripe"??? You know like basically filled the space between ridges......if I get a nice weekend I thought about using Plasti-Dip to see how it would look. Also ordered the Plasti-Dip glossifer, hopefully that comes soon.

I saved this pic from awhile ago but forgot who's it was.
To whomever's car this is, I am sorry for posting it without your approval, and will remove it right away if you would like.

edit: I just realized youre talking about a stripe in a different location. But I'll keep this post up anyways.
