AWD is nice but not as fun as RWD, slap some winter tires on it and enjoy the snow!

But we are getting less as years go by .

A Z in the Winter must be something else right ! lol

I have good Winter tires , so I m ok on that side , but a Z would be top for me .That way I could keep my SE R , but it will be later on for sure .
 
The best would be 3 cars , An Infinity , a Z & my SE R . But I ll continue to dream ! lol

Good catch on the spoiler, the spoiler has been replaced by the previous owner to the older one for some reason i noticed that too the spoiler doesn't seem fully bolted either, i will have to torque it down more. But it is 2006 it says that when i look up the vin and on the title too. M105 has arrived and im planning on testing out on my parents Nissan Murano will see how it works.

Ahhhh.... I see said the blind man. ;)

Yeah, I dunno.. a lot of guys liked that old spoiler. In fact when I bought mine I *thought* I wanted the older, (wider) spoiler but came to appreciate the newer one much better. Six of one, half a dozen of the other actually.

You wanna see a freaking BIG oem spoiler, look up the Pontiac "hammerhead" spoiler that they put on the G6. Now it's not a WRX spoiler but it's bigger than anything else BUT the WRX that's for sure.:eek:

Are those covers on the taillights, or new lights?

And dude... what you did to that Z in the snow. Now you KNOW that was just WRONG! Im the MAN:laughing:

haha it was tempting for some pictures! couldn't help it. But at least my photo is now on the WORK Wheel blog :D

And sadly those are not covers for the taillights, they have been painted with real black oem paint then clear coated to match the car. The previous owner did that, i've had the car for 3 weeks now. I will be probably wet sanding the paint off the front headlights those tend to piss me off the most.

Funny how the last guy didn't know how to keep the paint in decent shape, but he spent all sorts of money on weird upgrades. :dunno: I'd noticed those headlights as well, that's.... oh..... funky. :rolleyes:

Looks like he had a non-aero car and wanted to try and make it look like an aero car. (IE putting the spoiler on.) But still don't think that's the aero front bumper.

Gotta love how that black looks now though!!! :dblthumb2:

06 came with the sport bumper. And my car has the sport bumper i don't think they made oem lips only for the older ones before 06. Love it too now! my M105 came in today i will have to test it on my parents black murano, their car is even worse im guessing

The 06 actually came with two front bumpers. Yours is the sport though. But not all 06 had the sport bumper either. One way to tell (other than the 6MT) is if it had FACTORY 19" wheels, orange steering wheel stitching. Then again, I've heard of guys with the automatic that had orange stitching. (and of course the cutouts are more slanted in the middle, along with the outer part that flares out a bit.) :dunno:
