have fun out there G2Z!

i still think the Ings will give you better clearance than the factory front diffuser.

thanks Ken...

So how you liking your INGS lip? no scrapes? Also, if I remember correctly you did a LOT of work to it prior to install, right?

I worry that I don't have the painting skills you do...

so far it's been great!

no scrapes and i luv how it made the front look tight and finished.

yah, i did 3 levels of wetsanding after first filing off the resin where the top and bottom pieces were glued together, cleaned up the edges using enamel black paint, then used UV clearcoat (many coats), and polished to a nice factory shine at the end using my detailing gear.

i suppose you can have a bodyshop do the work for you for $100-150 or so.

I am however thinking of going with Swift Springs or Eibach's some time... I wonder how much I will scrape then?

No Z action today... heavy rains this morning. Wife and I going on a date tonight to see Cap America. If rain holds off, Zena comes out.

I have Swifts and even though the drop isnt as severe as say H&Rs I scrape a lot. Def gotta be extra careful. When my buddies heard I was lowering it they thought I was crazy. Roads are pretty rough around here lots of dips and what not. I may end up trimming that piece and the two smaller ones in front of the wheels for a tad more clearance. If you are on the fence about which springs to buy def spend the extra $100 and get the Swifts. The change they have made in my handling characteristics is unbelieveable, especially for springs. More than worth the money.

^^^ Second that on the Swifts!

I love this thread! You guys rock. I needed some Friday humor!!!

No roadster for me until early next week. Tires will be here monday and camber kit Tuesday. You can almost see the air in one of my rear tires.

Same for me.... by far my subscribed thread that I keep coming back to. What's surprising? The OP doesn't post on here anymore... LOL. Dare I start a NEW "What did you do with your Z today" Thread?!?!?!?!

(don't dare me... I will do it)
