Wow, very clean looking Z!! Very nice! On a side note, do some research on wheel spacers and reconsider getting them. If you want your wheels/tires to stick out then get the right wheel with the right off-set. Spacers should be the last option. They force the wheel to set out farther without changing the CG of the wheel itself. This increases vertical torque on the wheel bearing and other components, causing them to wear out faster. Think of it like a simple lever. The farther out on the handle you apply force, the greater the amount of torque on the opposite end. The wider the spacer, the greater the force applied. Also, some service departments (auto repair places) will not work on your car if you have spacers. Something about it being a safety issue – not sure why.
