View Full Version : Need some advice?
Alright summer time is coming up and I want to change a few things on my car:(I beleive you guys know what my car looks like by now...if not just ask me and ill post a pic up)
1. Since my front calipers are blue. I was thinking of going black. The reason being is that the drums on the back would look funning if blue and would stick out..yet if they were black and the front were black i beleive it would give it a cleaner look? Yes/No?
2. I want to get new rims. With this this I am thinking either Eneki RS5/XXR 925 Hyper black? Yes/No. The rims I have now are scratch around the outsides when people put the tires on in the past. I want this car flawless since the body is right now and I am wanting to go to shows.
-Thats all I can think of right now. Suggestions?
Thanks
I say go all black. I'm all about the black out. Eneki RS5/XXR ...black...great choice.

If your going to show the car , you need to pull attention to the wheels/wheel wells . A wheel with a wide window needs a lot of detail to show in the window .
Your car being dark silver would look better with the lighter silver color wheel . Calipers could be in a contrasting silver . Brake lines on the back of the wheel well can be buffed to a shine with steel wool , then polished . Paint the wheel wells with a high gloss black .
Add some braided S.S. brake lines . Paint the lower A-arms/swaybar in a contrasting silver . You can do the same thing to the rear with drums . Also you can do all the things stated in silver , but do them in Red . I think it would look really good in either color .
I have showed the Z since ' 98 . All the suspension is painted , calipers , wheel wells . Everything that can be seen is detailed . I do most of the Ford shows and A.A.C.A. shows around central and south Florida . The Z always comes in at 98-100 points , one of the biggest points collector is the detailed wheels/wells and suspension .

Im with John P, that is the biggest thing, is when you got that and dont have the inner wheel well clean.
And if you sellin your wheels I would be interested...
Those are some wise words john. I will deff take them in to consideration that is coming up here. You are more looking at the RS5's then for me. Also..kind of confused on the paint. Based on my whole engine bay is blue and my seats. Is that going to be fine still? Also my color is that mineral gray..do they sell anything that might work? Since I was thinking black might be my best bet yet i might be way wrong.
keep them coming guys.

The photoshops I did on the old site... Rota G-Force in Gunmetal. Then get a CF trunk since you already have a hood. It would all balance out.
