Seems like yesterday..... When I picked up my:
2003 Chrome Silver Performance 350Z.
Nearly 3 years and several $grand later... She's still running strong (stronger!) and looking more stunning than ever...

Let's see those "Before & After / Now & Then" pics of your ride.

Here's mine before....
(I'd post the GS, but the change was not nearly as drastic!)

 

And....... AFTER/TODAY!

Hey my fence stain is holding up nicely too after 3 years!

 

Nice Z man Congrats,That wing makes the car stand apart from alot of other Z's. Any engine mods??An HKS supercharger sounds mighty nice.

 

Well you know I was seriously contemplating a Twin-Turbo setup (@435 rwhp!)
But I have since decided to get a whole nother vehicle next year sometime (upcoming Z06!)

As far as engine/performance mods... JWT Intake, BORLA dual-exhaust, & MPR Grounding Kit (I'm having some engine parts painted as you read this, preparing for a Car Show) all good for @ 35 rwhp! So needless to say, it's considerably stronger than stock. And of course suspension & brake upgrades as well.

 

Tx always a favorite of mine. The car looks real nice, those brakes are so hot.
Watch for the debut of my all new revamped gs comoing out soon.

 

She must sound like an animal...(in a good way)!!!!

 

Here's soundclips of the BORLA courtesy of another 350Z owner:

Holy ****!!!TX that sounds like it has some *****,looks like I need an exhaust!!

 

TX, that sounds GREAT! IMO the 350z/ G35 OEM exhast is one of the nicest and meanest sounding ones out there beyond some AMG Benz's that I've heard. The Borla makes it even better!

 

Definately pimp. I thought you were going to sell it though?

 

sweet looking car TXSTYLE....btw...you owe me a 10sec car... ahhaahahah

Thanks guys! I have to agree with you (if I had a Z or not) they both sound awesome! They have a distinct tone that is all their own. Nissan/Infiniti did a hella job on the exhaust note. But I can't even tell you just how incredible my setup with the intake & borlas sound like @ 60mph in 3rd and punching it........ My buddies who have ran with me on the highway kept telling me how insane my car sounded. Finally I had to trail my car with another driver... STUNNING to say the least.

Not for least another year.

LOL!

Now then... Dave and all you guys with these modded Lexus'..... Where's your before & after pics?

 

I've wanted to do this for some time, but I can't find any bone stock before pics of my GS. I may have only had a crappy HP digital cam back in 1999.

My GS when I bought it had no spoiler, 16" wheels and a tan (yes, tan) pinstripe. A few months later I'd moved to 17"OEM wheels, added the spoiler and stripped of the pinstripe. I made the inaugural trip to SRT in early 2000 for a bunch of mods all at once: Intake/ECU, Borla Exhaust, PI torque converter and Borla/Eibach suspension. As soon as the L-tuned stuff came out, I bought (I think the first one sold) from Carson. These pics are after all that stuff was installed.

2001





In 2003, the mod disease really spread badly, so it deseves a pit stop in pictures. I also learned how to detail my car better





Late 2004. Also new camera, better pictures

 

current pics - don't have a lot yet with the new kit (just on a couple of weeks ago)

 

Trunk changes, lol

2001 JL 10W3 and Alpine

I'm sick sick sick. Seeking help now, I'll be offline for a while.
