Being truly new to the slammed look (I am not, but first time I have seen such extreme setups), how the hell does the goldish 350 Z next to the black S drive with that camber?

Also it seems like a lip with being slammed ends up destroying the lip-the black one is dinked up too.

The 350 Z is still a sports car (meant to be driven as such, right?)
Seems to defeat the purpose of the car. But to each their own.

^^ more like the guys who turbocharge their cars...N/A is much more practical for a DD. Don't get me wrong I would love to turbo mine but that would mean much more repairs, tinkering/tweeking, maintenence, etc...I have a lip with stock suspension and it is pretty tore up from the normal wear and tear.

Mines a daily-ish. What do you repair more? If i broke something when my car was na, id still have to fix it.

Do it right once or do it twice. Hopefully this second time im doing it is a lot better.

Val, your car is nice, but it seems after you or anyone else installs a turbo then one would need to eventually install a stronger clutch, differential, etc....also, deal with oil leaks or whatever else a turbo may cause. Im saying it ends up costing a lot more than just $5000 for a new turbo when you factor in all the additional mods that will be needed for optimal performance.
