Z man [pics] Opinions welcome.
 

I love my micro-van, or whatever it is! I enjoy making it look better.
I have quite a low budget (10$/hr) lol
(check)I plan to add a shiny Precision Muffler, paint the calipers red , tint the front windows, and lower with DF210s.
I want some nice, black, clean-looking grilles too. (Grillcraft $300?)

I want a small amount of negative camber in the rear (OTG is gone so camber plates???) and bigger sized tires.
I think an Audi style LED strip under the headlights would be a nice touch too.
My fogs don't work again, I need to look into that...

I've almost had to kill a ho for this common mistake.

I definitely feel ya about the Element gig, those things are atrocious!

Diggin' the wheels

Re: Z man [pics] Opinions welcome.
 

Yeah they cost me $500, but they are super light rims, about 10.9 pounds each!

So I get some added mpg and accel, which is awesome.

I like the yellow lip, its different.

i would definitely lower more than 1 inch. Go with s-tech or df210 springs.

Re: Z man [pics] Opinions welcome.
 

dig the yellow

yeah definitely lower it more than an inch. i would recommend the tanabe df210s. also maybe some spacers for the rear wheels.

Yea, lower it a bit more than an inch. Looks good!

Its a great start and go lower than a inch.

YEAH OBAMA!!

I like the wheels but they seem kind of small.

Looks like a great start! :)

Those front windows want to be tinted... :P

Yeah the wheels do look small!

So where can I get a good deal on Tanabe DF210s?
Any recommendations? I was looking at those as well.

Legal tint is 35% in my state, which isn't that big a difference, but it would be an improvement.

I hate how people with trucks often get 5% tint and the cops never care.
I would be a police magnet with pitch black windows.

Spacers would be badass but they may increase drag on my car, and
I drive for fuel economy. Best tank = 45mpg :silly:

i tinted my front windows 20%. yes it is technically illegal, but i don't do anything to attract mr. policemans attention anyways. i've never had a problem. they pretty much just match the back windows and makes the car look more finished having all the windows matched.

Yeah I know it looks pretty darn good like that.

There is one truck around here with 2.5% tint, you could point a gun at a cop with the window up and he couldn't see it!

I guess I'll go for 20%, I saw an xB with a phone number for a tint place.
I don't have a lot of extra money though.

good start on the car thus far, im really liking the tail lights. with the stuff you are planning, should look pretty good, ever thought about a spoiler and visors?

I like the clean look without a spoiler.

I am trying to keep my drag coefficient down as much as possible, for a cube-shape lol, and windows visors (if that's what you meant) stick out a little bit, same with wheel spacers. I know it seems trivial, but I want to break 45mpg next summer.

The grille is stock still! I haven't seen one I like yet.

TOTALLY agree.

Where did you buy your springs?

And do you know a good site for DF210s?

I KNOW they have been discussed a thousand times on the site :p

when i did all the research before buying springs, i looked at the DF210 and S-Techs. I chose the S-Techs. Bought them on ebay for $155 shipped. I couldn't find a better deal than that. I'm willing to bet the DF210s could be bought for probably around the same price there as well.

I have trouble trusting Ebay but I will look.
