Yes! Very nice Mr.Kenchan. this is just what the Dr. ordered.

Are those 19" Weds? they look I'm digging the rear spoiler too.

I have a Carbon Signal Type-T CF rear spoiler coming. I'm getting quite the pile of parts in the garage. I want to pull the cover back and install some soon but, have to finish the honey-do list first...

hey thanks. yep, they are 19's and Weds SA55M's. the rear spoiler is the mine's extension.

is your garage warm enough to do work in the winter? i suppose you can keep busy working on your car? if you do any interior mods i suggest warming up the plastic bits with a heat gun or IR heater before you start pulling not to crack the panels. lol

I like the Weds. I'm having a hard time deciding what rims I want. 19" or 20"... too much choice. I know that I don't want it to affect the performance. and I don't want the super duper hellafush look. Rims that stick out past the fenders remind me of those Saturn's running 13" Daytons made for rear wheel drive cars... lol

Yeah, my garage is fully insulated, just need a small heater, although the temps have been fairly good this year. I don't have any interior mods, other than my Password JDM shift knob. I have Whiteline sway bars and rear end links to install, and the rear spoiler when it gets here.

I know what your saying about heating up interior panels. I used to do (years ago) warranty repair work for General Motors/AC Delco. It was a mobile outfit where we went to the dealers to do the work for them because their techs didn't have the knowledge (go figure). In the winter the first thing I did was start the car and crank the heater, get back in my van and start the paper work while I waited for things to warm up. Never broke a panel... knock on wood. lol. Of course warming up the car didn't matter when I had a front fender power antenna replacement to do in the parking lot in the middle of winter...

Thanks again for the pic of your car... it's a beauty!

If theres one thing I can respect that is a man who keeps his car clean, both of them in fact. Whats the secret?

Really nice Z by the way, first time seeing a good pic of it.

Jk, its one one thing I can admire, and when I mean clean, I saw some of your pics, and its like showroom clean, that should count for some praise.

Other than that your Z isnt a sleeper either. So respect for that as well.
