Agreed. Navan is the way to go. Zenki or Kouki- regardless- it's the spoiler you want.

needs more wheels that fit on the car and less retarded z3 fenders if thats what that is. the reason to get fender flares is when you have wheels that do not fit on the car. putting flares on first is so weak.

paint looks nice though.

NONE of this has anything to do with a spoiler... there is no need for useless flames. (that's what zilvia is for )

i think the navan only looks good on the zenki.... since the car is more round... the round wing suits it better, but for the kouki, you need something thats flat.... with corners... anyone agree?

for those with the Navan 3 piece spoiler, how hard was the install?... i know the middle piece bolts right up to where the stock spoiler would be, but what about the side pieces?

yes, those are z3 fenders and sidemarkers... no particular reason why there on, i think it looks nice... the reason why the flares are on is because i was getting the car painted so it wouldnt make sense to do all the bodywork and put them on after, might as well put them on one time.

and yes, i know i need some bigger wheels, but they ain't cheap! when i save up some more money, ill get some, but for now im stuck with my +40 offset rims.

I think taking it to a body shop is probably a good idea, assuming your spoiler isn't your factory color already- or it's not in excellent condition.

don't mean to thread hijack but I've been thinking about this. Please clarify........

a higher offset # = the tire is more "sunken"

a lower offsett # = the tire is more flush with the edge of the fender. Too little offset and the tire sticks out (like some low-riders), or you have to roll/pull the fenders. Am I right?

I need to go research the suspension forum some more.

zero offset = the wheel mounting surface is in the direct center of the wheel. so a 6 inch wheel with zero offset will have 3 inches of wheel on either side of the hub. -20 offset will move the mounting surface 20mm further back into the wheel, +20 offset will move it further out.

0 offset 8" wide wheel will have 4" of wheel on either side0 offset 10" wheel will have 5" of wheel etc etc etc
