A few pictures of my S before I change anything

Wizo · 11-25-2012, 07:36 AM

Sorry it took me a while to post pictures but I have not had any time. I snapped a few yesterday off my iPad and will be taking more as soon as I get her completed.

My favorite part of my car are the wheels. Every time I think I want to change them I go outside to look at them and i change my mind - they accent the car perfectly.

I am changing out the grill to a srt8 one, srt8 spoiler and adding springs, exhaust, intake and trinity to the car. I also want to wrap the front with a clear bra and put a carbon wrap on the roof. I will be selling the stock grill soon

Did you buy the v6 or v8? Did it include the 8 speed? I agree on the wheels too...I was almost ready to replace them but I just couldn't bring myself too. They fit the vehicle perfectly.

Keep us informed on how the tuning goes!

I went with matte black vinyl on every chrome piece on my srt8. I have some 22s being powder coated black and mopar springs going on as soon as the wheels come back. I think with little effort you can make your car exactly what you want it to look like. The 300s in general look great stock. The last picture I had my srt8 logo vinyl matte black and my exhaust tips.

I got v8 and I am extremely happy - car has a very nice punch when you hit the throttle and sounds great. I think it should be a 6 speed v8 to help out on highway cruising above 70mph.

It only comes with the 5 speed right now unfortunately.

Man I love your car! I was going to get the srt8 but my wife wouldn't let me because I drive it for work and put around 30-35k miles a year...now in my secret cave I have been ordering parts to make it look like one....since I got into sales I had to sell my old beast which was a Brabus e55...I could run high 11's in that bad boy and that thing looked like your srt8...

Your e55 looked good. I have a set of powder coated black vossen cv1 22s going on in a week as well as the mopar lowering springs to lower it a tad.

Put on the grill and spoiler yesterday -

I feel that the spoiler did not line up all they way here

Nice work, Wiz. Sorry I missed your call. You still need help on sumthin'?

The spoiler turned out nice!!!

Now I see what you meant by not quite lining up!
I wonder if you let it sit out in the sun or use a heat gun to soften things up a bit the wing will settle down to the contours of the trunk lid? This was a common problem on the aftermarket wing for the 90-93 300ZX TT a lot of the guys would let it sit in the sun or use a heat gun then sit a towel on the wing with a added weight.
