Very Nice!

I'd be so paranoid about driving those on the pothole minefield over in the Des Plaines / Mount Prospect / Prospect Heights / Arlington Heights area though. Willow Road used to be a nightmare when I worked over in Arlington Heights...I left part of my S13's front lip somewhere around there.

Keep 'em pretty, curb rash will make the Badger cry.

Thanks guys. The roads are still bad. That's why I'm hesitant on lowering the car.

The wheel specs:

19x9 +22mm19x10 +25mm

You could always go with Tein's EDFC and some compatible coilovers.

looks awesome dude! I agree that it would be full dope status if you lowered it, sucks that the roads you drive are bad.... Go with air bags!

Thanks guys.

I'm thinking of lowering the Z with Hotchkis springs (the best subtle drop for the Z imo)

Thanks. That's the authentic 06-08 Nismo front lip. The Nismo sides are Shine Auto replica (I couldn't find any authentic sides or rear-addons at that time).

They are really nice looking. A little on the larger side for my tastes but nonetheless, very nice looking.

Any idea what BBK you're planning to go with?

I've seen a couple of articles out there showing the Akebono sport package brakes frmo the 370Z mounted up on the 350Z - those things are massive.

Badger,

I'm thinking of getting Stoptech 14" 4-pot front and rear.

I've talked to a local shop about putting 370Z Akebono brakes on my 350Z. They said it's a nightmare to do the conversion (roughly about $800 for the install), so that is out of the picture.

Depressed about storing the Z in couple months, so I went a little crazy... :biggrin:

Ordered these to keep me happy before winter gets here.
