My Z looks a little different than the last time I posted pics..for the good, and the bad..

Anyway I was recently involved in an accident where I was hit from behind and pushed into the truck in front of me. Cracked paint off my front and rear bumper covers..the other cars involved were not as lucky lol.

So as you can see the front and rear are in primer right now which is a primary fix until the whole car is repainted yet again.

But on to the good stuff.. recently aquired the wheels, 18" Boyd Junkyard Dog with the help of a fellow TGO member (jtmiller92)

I'm bummed the sun wasn't out today but oh well here we go..

 

looks really sweet man! bummer about the accident though!

Josh

 

looks very professional

 

It even looks good with the primered bumpers

 

those wheels are sharp! hope paint is soon to follow!

 

I agree. I would picture a clean cut business man in a suit to get out of that car...

 

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking

 

i love black cars. lower that thing an inch and watch out for all the ooh's and ahhh's. Keeping it black when its repainted? repainting the whole thing or just the bumpers?

 

No the whole car is getting resprayed, there's a few things that I don't like about the last paint job that I want taken care of so I might as well get the whole thing done..

It already has a pro-kit drop which suits me for now, but I was thinking of going a little lower down the road.

 

The wheels and the car look great. Wish I had some of those wheels, great choice. Did you lower it 1"? If you did, I don't know if I would lower it any more. I personally have enough trouble with driveway scraping at stock.

 

sXe!!! good job bro!

 

Nice wheels, I think they look great.

 

It does look really good! I do think that you should lower with the sportlines for that mean look. I thought that jtmiller just recently got those wheels?

 

these pics just make me want to paint my car black. looks most excellent. tobad about the accident though i'd hate to see the other cars...

 

great start, I'm really diggin the wheels too

 

perfect. nice work.

one day without sun and youre all depressed lol. gotta love CA.

 

you've havn't had much luck with accidents.. first car written off by your.. mom? anyway it looks great with the rims. Lower it an inch or two and it'll be pure sex!

 

Great stuff!

 

Yea, the RS was to be my first car and it was taken from me out of my will-totalled

What can I say, **** happens and there's nothing you can do but take what you can from the experience and move forward. Events like this one are out of my control and it's all part of driving a car and life in general.

Anyway me being 16 years old I'm happy with what I have and the way it's progressing..I may have been set back a step but like I said I wasn't 100% happy with the paint in the first place..this time I'm taking it elsewhere and putting down a more hefty chunk of change than last time.

 

car looks awesome!

 

nice lookin wheels! I had thought they looked really good on jtmiller's car and they look just as good on yours. You had just got the car painted, its a shame you got in that accident hope you get it fixed soon.

 

Wow, Vey nice man. I think they look better on yours.

 

lol im sorry man i was thinking the same thing i think its b/c of the black and the hood and spoiler.

 

thanks guys! im trying to upload some better pics but having some issues, i'll keep trying though!

 

lets try it..

 

No problem, the Highrise spoiler just kind of makes everything look better. I think his sits alittle lower than mine also which helps. Very sharp car.........jt

 

You work at Jack in the Box? I see your car a lot there on my way home from work. Looks pretty sweet, sick wheels.

 

yup..been there for a good 9 months now.

 

Hey thats a shame you sold your trans am...i remember when you posted pictures of your ROH snypers mounted up...some of your pictures helped me determine i wanted snypers on my car

Gr89RS - The newer pictures look good, when are planning on getting the bumpers repainted?

 

Well I'm actually having the whole car repainted..but I'm probably gonna focus on the new motor first and paint will be put on hold for a bit. I donno, I'd say deffinitely by summer it will be sporting a full show quality job..maybe sooner.

 

That's good to hear Yea it was hard to let her go but I couldn't afford to keep the project going and I really needed something reliable to drive around. I knew that when both my TA and my backup car the GSX were both down at the same time and I had no ride. Sucks when you own two cars but aren't able to drive either one. So the TA had to go to make way for the truck. Who knows I might get a thirdgen again in the future. I have always liked the style of those cars

 

Looks awesome! Its almost a twin to mine w/different wheels. What percentage of tint is that?

 

It's 15% sides and 5% on the hatch.
