Haha same here. It's kinda either or for me with the job I have I can't afford both.

Forged specialties are calling your name! :)

Well give em to me! Lol those are about twice what I can spend. But id love to have them.

Don't want to spend too much money modding the Z though. After I graduate and get a house, I'm planning on getting a GT-R or used Ferrari/Lambo/R8. Will need to save moneyz for that :driving:

guess who just ordered some swifts :stirthepot:

:tup:

LOL! Where did you get them from? I'm assuming you'll be waiting for the end of July/August shipment?

nope theyll be here in 4 or 5 days. i have connections.

You don't have sh!t. You got lucky, must've snagged the last remaining order. =D

Congrats. :)

To think, our cars were pretty much bone stock...what, like 5-6 weeks ago? Hahaha.

haha...my car was bone stock 5 weeks ago.

i just added up my Car Bill..I almost cried..

In 5 weeks i have spent $5,772

:eek2:

I've spent about $1300 on mine in the last 4 months.

:eek2:

Holy Jebus, that's a lot for the first 5 months of ownership. Don't worry Mike, another 10 grand and your car should be finished :p

Yeah, well...look at it this way, the drop will probably be your last mod. I'm pretty much completely done. Even though I'll be getting rims, I plan to offset the cost of them by selling the OEMs.

unfortunatley...thats 5 weeks. not 5 months :shakes head:


ive owned the car for 4 months, however only started "modding" a little over a month ago.

:shakes head:

I've still got a lot of spending ahead of me to get my car track ready. Exhaust will be my first real mod after 5 months of owning the Z. Others were just spoiler and tint.

what spoiler did you get?

An OEM replica :icon17:

Got it off eBay. Total including installation was $220 :tup:

Wow. That's really cheap. I spent like $550 plus install. Doh!

Yeah probably because it was a replica and not from the factory. I don't really care though since it looks/feels the same and you can't tell the difference at all :tup:

LOL, I poured around $3k in parts into a new car in the past two years and thought that was too much.

you're married tho, right mike?

nope.

haha...sorry Mike, your not my type.

:icon18: dam....


i thought you were, which would have explained your ability to not give into blowing tons of money on your car...

I'm not married, Mike (econ).

:)

*grrroowwl*

:icon17:

I do have a GF...but so does he. They don't need to know, though.

my gf is just a cover....

I knew the truth would come out.

:supergay::superghey:

Am i to late? Mike is now taken?

:icon18::roflpuke2:

When are we ordering wheels :)

:icon18::roflpuke2:

OMGGGGGGGG

just posted my car on porsche forums (cause i like to :stirthepot: ) (and i posted htem in other cars section mind you)

i guy with a Porsche C4S writes this:

"Looks nice but needs a drop, at first glance, your first pic, I thought it was a new Nissan crossover or SUV."

did you just copy exactly what i smiliey faced him....

:nutswinger:

I think the car looks good as it sits now. I'm at stock height and have scraped underneath the car many times. There is no doubt that a lowered Z looks great but roads in South Jersey are poop so I will keep it at stock height. Mine is a DD also.

Tony: You have to cut away some of the plastic beneath the bumper to compensate for the lowered clearance. I did that and I hardly scrape now.

Mid/end-July most likely.

I do plan on doing that. I scrape my mufflers here and there also.
