I'm thinking of going with a KW coilover kit for it, I'm afraid though of losing compliance and at the limits handling as I'm more of a set it/forget it type of person. Any feedback on this would be appreciated. I'm not going to deal with megans/bc racing/cheapo coilovers ever again!! The traction control is a little annoying at times, although I'm not ready to shut if off completely yet! Also considering doing the sound deadening + real stereo, but, again, this car is lightyears ahead of my wrx in terms of daily driving/livability, and it's nice to not have every single moron trying to race me constantly!!

Mods done so far: clear bra on the entire hood! and front bumper + tinted windows, so I'll be updating pics when I can get photos of the car @ sunset, much better lighting...

I like the blue one as well. That is why I own it.

Mine is very similar, just one year later.

Had quite a bit of rain this past week.

Hey all, I'm sort of a lurker here, but I just picked up a set of 2012 Sport wheels for autocross and track use, so I thought I'd post up a couple comparison photo's. I <3 this color!!

2014 Sport Wheels

2012 Sport Wheels

I definitely enjoy the 2014's more because of the gunmetal and shape of the spokes, but the silver of the 2012's compliments all the silver accents on the car.

I'm definitely a fan of this color and considering purchasing a 2013 Z. How is the upkeep on this color compared to say, Black? My first Z was Black and it was an absolute nightmare to keep looking clean.

NoGrip61 · 07-07-2014, 08:06 AM

It's still a dark color, so pollen and dirt show up fairly easily. But having also owned a black car in the past, car washes last longer than a couple days (maybe a week) with this navy color

Maybe.

Out here in AZ it's still only a couple of days on average. If I can get a week out of it I'm impressed.

It's sad.

But, it's also a daily driven car, so that has a lot to do with it not lasting.

Haboob · 07-07-2014, 08:54 AM

...and, it doesn't look too bad on the '12 sport Rays. I've been curious to what it may look like.

jpkirk · 07-07-2014, 09:33 AM

Mine will hold across two weekends typically. Depends on the pollen count as noted before. Mine is not a dd and is garaged, which also helps.
