She would recognize major changes, though. It was her DD for over a year.

LOL.

when i put on my new suspension my wife came home one day and said why is the car scraping on the speed bumps. I said because i lowered it and got a loud, "you did what?' i then had to explain what coilovers are and what else i did. She does like the new look but doesnt like the way it rides.

Mine knows my car fairly well. In fact she drives my Leaf more than i do.

Nothing has been noticed thus far so I doubt anything short of a color change would be.

My wife is very involved. I share just about every decision on mods with her. I bought the car for us to enjoy together. It's actually in her name. But only cuz I have a curse with cars I put in my name!

My wife doesn't really like the Z, so she doesn't have a lot of interest in what I do to it. She did notice the PWJDM V.2 shift knob I recently installed and she thought it looked nice. Her hobby is gardening so she's pretty focused on plants and stuff. I do my best to be interested in what she's doing in the garden and dig holes for her plants when she needs help. When we go on a date we usually take the Z and that's about the only time she rides in it. She thinks the Z is too loud, the ride is too bumpy, and she usually doesn't notice my mods.

It is funny as I would never bore her with what I am up to.

My fiance knows nothing about cars and she has no interest, just not her thing. I like it that way, she don't get involved in my ****.
Took her to ZDayZ with me, let's just say she will not going back next year.

I'm not kidding.

My wife digs nice cars too. I used to have a vette. She didn't like it. So when I wrecked it, I got the Z. We both liked Z's so it was a natural choice. She used to work in a bank and I work in investments. So she does the books in our house while I take care of investments. So she knows everything I buy and she's very opinionated on mods too!

Until today......

I just told her I've had it all along and waited this time to put it on.

So....how well do they know your car. Not well enough.

Can you show us any side views or other angles of the new wing... I love it! Where did you purchase from ?
