That is all for now... next step are going to be suspension and new wheels ;) Thanks for all my friends here on the page for the support and help me with all my questions haha!!

Nice job on those short tails! You never told me about those -

Where'd your order your lip from?

hahahha sorry bro ;) i forgot to tell you!! well the lip i buy it on ebay from Bayson R i buy parts from that seller before to my STI, man and i can tell you, fast shipping, great prices and quality parts... one of the best seller on ebay for sure!!!

Do you know what wheels you want?

yes bro!!! im planing to buy the Varrstoens ES 2.2.2 in 19x9.5 front and 19x11 rear

Solid choice, a little plain compared to the stock '13's, but they look great on the white!

yes bro... im thinking on those wheels for now but when its time to buy that can be change loool the problem is that i dont find too much wheels in 19x11 for the rear that i really like it :(

Get some 325's? 315s? 305s? Haha throw fatty tires on there.

I had a friend throw 325s on the stock RAYS. Its looks pretty awesome. Even though he has no REAL need for that big of a tire.

For sure my friend i want a 305 tires for the rear :-)

That STI :yum::yum::yum:
Your Z is looking great! Love what you did with the front lip :tup:

Carliiitooos!!!! Need to talk to you about those short tails. Looking so good!!! Was that a custom job? Good choice on the tips also.

Hey bro i hope you be ok!!!! thanks for the comment!!! yes i custom made my shorts tails. i buy the tips and take my car to a muffler shop to make the rest of the job. :tup: you have my number??? if not PM me to send the number:tup:

Carlitos, I sent you a pm with some questions on the front lip.

She is looking great.

I think you should black out the stock wing, just a thought.

Looks great carlitos!

Try unplugging the battery and then waiting a few minutes before putting it back on..

Then take it for a spin! See if your computer notices the new intakes?

Thanks Nick... i do that when i install the post maf ;) and when i install the intake im going to do the same :) thanks for the advice bro!!!:tup:

Your Z is looking awesome!!
Did u custom fit the front lip??

Carlito, your Z is looking amazing. Love what you did with the front lip. :tup:

Keep up the great work!

That new front bumper looks great with a lip IMO. Nicely done

Thanks dude!!! yes i custom fit the lip :) im thinking on changing the lip for the Seibon GT front lip, its another custom job but i want to doit lol!!! i love how it looks my current lip but before buy my Z i always wish the Seibon GT Lip

Thanks a lot bro!!!! like i said... i love my current front lip but i want to install the Seibon GT lip, its another custom job but lets see what happen. But before that the next mods are going to be, Swift Springs, new wheels and more :p

+2 bro!!! i love how it looks with the new lip.... i can see my car with out a front lip now hahhaa!!!

BTW I love your build man!!! one of the things that i want to do in my car its install a TT kit :stirthepot:

Looking forward to see what your next mods are. I just got my Z last weekend and have a growing list haha... I'm having a hard time deciding what lip to get though :(

I forgot to say the i buy the Z1 SS Brake lines with Motul RBF600 Brake fluid :)

Its a hard decision bro but finally we have some options for our 2013+ Bumpers lol!!! Carbon Signal have a nice looking front lip for a good price... or you can go with the Varis Front lip like CarbonFZ... our if you have a good paint shop you can do the same as me ;) when i buy my Z no one have a lip for the 2013+:icon14:

I have a long list of parts that i want to install on my but i have to take it easy hahaha!!! or my future wife are going to kill me :roflpuke2:

I like the Carbon Signal and most likely will get that. I just want to wait to see how Chris' (CarbonFZ) lip looks like. It is hella expensive though.

Nice build man! Lip looks awesome on that bumper :)

I know my friend!!! Varis is really expensive. I think Carbon Signal its the way to go!
Thanks my friend!!! :tup:

Well guys hope everyone its ok!!! here are the new upgrades that i make to the Z :)

Looking good!

Thanks Gale :tup: i can wait to buy the wheels :)

Those mirrors have me thinking...

man in person looks a lot better :) i love how it looks my car right now:excited:

Carlitos - Would it look funny if you plastidipped one of the lines on the fangs red. Might be a little accent for the front of the car
