Very Nice, I've got an '02 XLE that I'm wanting to fix up a little as well(rims/tint). You consider lowering it?

Good job! In NJ with all that window tint I would be pulled over and given tickets in a second.

I guess TN has no tint laws? If not I am jealous.

Thanks Guys
I did consider it... but i still want the car to ride stock...
I also have a feeling that if put springs i would need to do shocks sooner...
I'll just wait for now...

TX does have laws... I'll take it off after a couple of tickets... I'm older now and have a clean record... lets see how it plays out...

oh yah, I also used blackout tape for the chrome strips on the sides... got that from the non sport bmw 5-series guys

The car would benefit a lot from a much more aggressive rim with a nice drop. Otherwise the murdered out look just doesn;t work.

Example of what a murdered car is supposed to look like. I would lower this Z some more if it was mine to make it even more aggressive

What do you mean by murder? It's costing you a fortune to own?
