Message After two years of slow progress its finally done. I know there not J-specs but I thought someone might appreciate the fabrication that went into it. Hope you guys like it.

This is how it looked when I first got it. Can you believe someone would choose to put those wheels on over the factory wheels.

I love the J-specs just as much as anyone else here, but I decided to do something a little more original in the back.

I used 45 lb solenoids to pop the latches. It works great.

I didnt realize how much prep went into a good paint job. I decided to go with blizzard pearl white. Its the same color found on the 2005 Toyota avalons. My cheap camera doesnt do the color justice.

A few toys for the z. I also replaced every molding and trim on the outside of the z. Never realized how much that stuff cost.

Finally I can get rid of those awful wheels that came on the car. I picked up these twinturbo wheels for $200. I had them polished for another $200. They came out pretty nice for $400 total. Cant complain.
.

I decided to go with the BFG Sport tires even though they did not make the correct size for the rear. I had to go with 245/50/16. Its about a half inch taller or so. But it gave the z a nice beffy looking stance.

Almost ready for paint!

Rock guard removed!

Ahhh, finally. I have never been so excited about waxing my car. It has been way too long.

Wasnt to sure about the wheels. Hope I got them on the correct side.

Here is a couple pictures of the custom sub enclosures I built. They are very similar to the ones Chris makes (I think that is his name). I made my angle down towards the center of the hatch and down towards the front. Im really happy with the way they came out.

Anyways, hope you guys like it. Now for some performance.
