I would suggest taking a look at Avant Garde M359 wheels in matte black. The wheels look awesome! I think a blacked out theme would go nicely with your paint color. You could also get the jet black sticker overlays to cover the blue on your roundels, giving it the monochrome black and white look. Some smoked reflector overlays would help get rid of the amber color on the reflectors. We also sell smoked lens film for your headlights, tail lights, and fog lights. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions. Happy modding!

IMO b/c you're in cali realistically how many times will you ride with the top up to see/use your tint? Waste of money. Same with tinting tails, again IMO on our Z's (04') it doesn't look good, even with black like mine. If you dont plan on tracking or autocross-ing your car, get some drop springs from H&R or someone and the Avant Garde M359 wheels, THOSE look killer in matte black. Also get ride of those damn run flats and get some real tires! I had to when I put my TS2 kit on from ESS, had ZERO traction with them. Theres also matte black kidney grills too which look awesome



(My father, while i was deployed, hit a curb while parking so don't mind the lower part of the car passenger side, hes having repainted soon!)

I still have to put my spacers on the rears and the springs on mine as well, soon as I heal up from surgery ill have em on!

DataStream18,
Will non-run flats fit on the stock OEM Wheels that currently have run flats on them, or do I have to purchase new wheels as well. Also, are you carrying a mini spare in your trunk?

If you are looking for the blacked-out look, you might consider black chroming. There are two places in SoCal that I know of who are doing this. One in Fullerton and another in Santa Clarita. I have 2 sets of wheels and I am considering black chroming the stock wheels. I'm told it goes about $175 per wheel.
