Special thanks to Ken (drheem) helped me out a lot with few things!




here is a video of what the z sounds like (sorry for the bad quality)
Edit: i dont know why it doesnt work?







there were a few people on the forum wondering what the diffuser would ook like with a center exit exhaust, so I took the chance and bought it off ken and prayed I wouldnt ruin it

Hmmm, looks like you are a bit behind in your thread, :lol:
Oh well, better late than never!

What window visors did you choose?
And is the exhaust custom, or one of the center-exit ones available for the CR-Z?

:thumbup:

My girlfriend bought the visors from Carid as a christmas gift, and my exhaust is all custom by my local shop here in sac, my tips are flared and are a little smaller than HPD
That exhaust is great! Really looks cool with the carbon fiber.
Thanks, I was very scared to cut it since it was so nice, but in the end and 3 hours later, after cut and test fit so many times, it came out just as I hoped
Glad to see you here! and yes the diffuser with your exhaust fits and looks really good!
Thanks, yea it took a while but I finally got it, this weekend ill be getting my custom midpipe done so hopefully it will sound amazing lol
Getting my midpipe done right now, cant wait! Its gonna sound amazing :)
Finally got it done, makes a big difference, not so high pitched and raspy anymore, more of a loud deeper tone except at 4000 rpm,,it screams bloody murder
Got my 3000k HIDs in today for my foglights, since the base model didnt have any I figured id put some in, so friday will be a very busy day. I have to replace the lenses on my foglights, put in HIDs and splice them to my headlight, then I have to paint my front lip, and install it before I put the bumper back on because the car is too low to work from beneath it. Then do a little bit of tidying up with the wiring and then im done.
Finally got around to putting the lip on and doing the fog lights, the base model can finally see with 4 eyes lol
Love the dish on those BBS man. Can't wait to see this beast in person. What are the dimensions on that set?
Did you roll the rear fenders and shave the rear tab to get those wheels to fit properly? Because I'm debating if I should get 17x9 +22 or +38 for the rear. I'm trying not roll or modify my fenders. Btw, I'm dropped 2inches in the rear.

Loving the car though. :thumbsup:
If you get 17x9 +22 like me, then you would rub pretty hard without having your fenders rolled, because I rub on dips and bumps still, and having a 2in drop would most likely make the rubbing worse, so you might want to go with +38 if you dont want your fenders rolled and tab shaved.
Hows the scraping? On speedbumps and whatnot.
No the only thing that scrapes on speedbumps are the little rubber flaps under the sideskirt in front on the rear wheels. I get rubbing when driving on cali ****ty roads.
For sure. I had 2 in prints on my previous car and it scraped like a bitch every bump. It sucked.
