Default Spacers... shorty antenna and a detailing..

After a couple of roadtrips the Z was splattered in bugs... needed a good detailing. Washed, clayed, waxed...

Also added H&R 20mm hubcentric spacers up front & 25mm in the rear - now flush to the fenders.

Also put on my 3" carbon fiber shorty antenna.

Other small mods still to go on include the Touring Sport chin spoiler (didn't come on Canadian models) and my Kellyefields hood struts.

Need a spare set of hands for those ones - The chin spoiler install calls for removal the front bumper and lots of bolts and drilling.

I know - Pics or it never happened...

Looks really good, drop top z reminds me of daytona spyders.


I thought factory chin just pops in tabs already under the nose?

I wish! There are about 16 holes to drill and 4 sets of them to cut out with an exacto to make the slots for the tabs.

Nice! Can you post another picture of the side of the car showing the wheels being flush? I was thinking of adding the spacers for my 2010 BS Roadster but don't know if the 25mm in the rear will be too much...

Here's some with the 25mm rear only

















and some with 25mm rear and 20mm fronts











Hope it helps. I really like the way it fills in the wheel wells and zero rubbing

Nice ride. Looks good. Did you added suspension upgrades? It might rub if lowered... I was thinking of going with H&R coilovers.

Added K&N Typhoon intakes tonight - great SOTP results, better throttle response and a bada$$ sound. Very pleased
