BTW what size are the rims? They look great. I've been trying to decide what size to get for my 240.

Wheels are 17x7's with 205-40-17 tires. The airdam is staying black. My last z with a fiberglass spoiler was body color, and every time it got damaged i had to repaint it body color. This one will stay satin black for easy repair if nesessary.

Looks awesome, but those tires are too small. Too much gap in the fender well. On a 17" wheel you should be running about a 225/45R17 or a 235/40R17.

205/40R17 is a Honda Civic size. You're RPM's at freeway speeds are gonna suffer because of the extra revolutions.

Looks great though.

Coming along very nicely bigjim. Are you still planning on selling it?

edit: Question on the door panel. The stiching going across the panel where the chrome trim is suppossed to be. Did you stitch that or is that whats underneath if you pull the plastic strip off?
