Car looking real nice! I like those rims

Z looks great, glad to see the wheels finally on!

Looking good Mr. Sneaky Man. Gonna be a good weekend coming up with all the cars out!

About time. Looks great. Very clean.

That lo0ks sexy bro:tup:!! tires spec?

Front-255/30/20
Rear-305/25/20

Thanks Guys!!!

I'm glad it's done now I can enjoy :driving:it.

Nice mods. The hood thingies are pimp.

Tastefully done mods on a beautiful & clean Z. Two questions for the engine bay, have you considered painting the U section of the engine cover PW and powdercoat the stillen tubes PW as well? I believe that would look even more outstanding.

The hood dampers look great. I was looking at the same on z store.

That would be like my engine bay!

Yeah I was going to paint the engine cover but after doing the strut bar it looked good,kind of like isolating the engine from the color of the car,same goes for the Gen 3 intakes.

I know.:hello:

Now you know why I don't paint my roof black.

lol man i dont care dude. Do it! it looks good.

Having a similar scheme only means we both have good taste :p

Your engine bay looks boss indeed.

Makes sense man, it looks great either way. In for future tasteful mods :tiphat:

uhhh crap.. i tried to rate your thread with stars.... on my iphone.. and I think i accidentally hit 1 star... : / anyone know how to change it?

I'll see what I can do.:tiphat:

Not sure how to change you.:icon23:

Yea on the Iphone it's hard to navigate those options.

I was able to modify my auto shifter to accept a 6sp console boot assembly so it looks alot better,now I need to get a good shift knob.

The shift knob will really set it off. :tup:

that looks great as it is!

Thanks Mike I'm on the fence about the shift knob if I find one fine if not that's OK too.

just remember, you have to get one with a button. i tried forcing the inner switch down, but the car freaks out when you try to turn it off

I just added a new shift knob now it really does look like a 6sp.:tup:

That car is freakin' amazing! Great job! I would give you 5 thumbs up but I only have two but thanks to the internet: :tup::tup::tup::tup::tup:

Thanks:tiphat:

Awesome! :tup:

Me thinks someone needs to post a DIY on the shift knob changeout.

There is a thread already by someone and he wanted me to post what I did so here is the link.:tup:

Got to see this in person today. It is nice. Good job Frank.

Baer - Thanks for the link; awesome job! Rep to you sir.

Finally, the look of the MT on the AT.

That looks good Frank. I didn't even realized that was your car.

:)

I got my engine strut brace back from Mike the power coater luckly he only lives 20 minutes away he did it in satin gray after I welded in some Nismo style braces.
