I'm looking forward to your pictures. Your car is going to look sweet!

No problem Mr.GaleForce

, you can ask for Eddie, or give him an e-mail, he replies very quickly with details, if you are contact him in these couple days is even better, because I am going to see him tomorrow, just mention to him Alex who drives the white 370z that purchase the Vossen, he will know.

I have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the Z and they are better. However, if I decide that I need a less expensive replacement in the future the DWS would be a tire that I would buy. For the little you'll give up in handling you'll gain in ride comfort and quietness. Plus, you'll save about 500 bones. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 is another wise choice if your looking at DWS.

Good luck alcheng. I'm sure you'll be really happy with your choice.

Thank you Mr.Mecinoid

The one I got is DW, which is summer tires, and the DWS is All-Seasons High Performance, and I hear good things on both.

mmm, I found it interesting too, because I found the OEM size with the DW before, I hope it is not because they just discontinued the front size, because the OEM size for rear is still on the chart.

Being it's contrasting carbon fiber, the step is irrelevent to me. If your's is FRP, then molding it into the factory spoiler makes perfect sense and would look great.

I've gotten nothing but compliments from everyone who has seen it, including my dealer's bodyshop manager.

Whatever you end up doing, I'm confident you are going to love the spoiler. It's one of my favorite mods so far.

Mine is FRP but I am thinking about painting it matte black rather than matching the color. This is so that it will match the front lip and side blades that I will install at the same time. I know if I install it as intended the mattle black will look pretty good other than the small step that only slightly bugs me. If I had it molded I think it will looker cleaner but I am not sure if black would be the way to go anymore. I have some time to think about it as I have other fish to fry before I install all of my body mods. Thanks for feedback

It works pretty good. I repaired one large scratch on my 40th.

In contrast, the 285/35/19 would be a little taller and only about .4 of a inch wider than stock widths. Not a upgrade over stock as far as I can tell. It would make for a higher gear ratio(lower numberically) and not a noticable difference in traction or look. It would however give you a little more bead protection on the stock rims. It seems to be sufficent as far as I can tell.

What did the last sentence mean?

I think the biggest things that caused me to not consider the 295/30 route is that the miminum wheel width listed was a 10.5". The stock Rays are 10". Also, Kenchan mentioned that the Z would look lifted. Considering that I have the stock suspension, I can't afford to appear to have more wheel gap than i already do.

As you can see I'm majorly torn over this dilemma, and I've thought long and hard over it. I sure wish I could see some Zs with 295s on it, stock Rays and stock height.

Well, I am all caught up on the forum and am going to head to the garage to start my Invidia Gemini install. Wish me luck.

Hmm, yeah. I just checked on Tire Rack's website and they dont list the 245/35 19 as an option for the Conti DW.

Ken-San, what size are your Contis?

ZScr3am · 03-20-2012, 08:33 PM

I just realized when I posted this that it looks like a few LED's are out, but when I hit the brake it looks fully illuminated. Is it suppose to look like that?

ZScr3am · 03-20-2012, 08:35 PM

Thanks bro. Good luck on the install. I installed my F.I. in about 2 hours without a lift and had to run to the local auto house to pick up something. You should be good bro!!
