Default nothing yet

I've not seen anything on the market yet that I want to add to the car. Cosmetically, my own view is that the dress up items out there only add to the 'it's pretty but it don't really go' image it already unfairly has out there. The only cosmetic thing I've been half way contemplating is I've been sorta looking for black/graphite rims for my black car.

Oh yeah, if somebody molded carbon fiber, or possibly wood replacement pieces for the center console I might look at those.

I wish there were some decent performance add ons out there, be they horsepower or handling. Have no desire to drop tens of thousands on the Renntech stuff. The brakes on the car, according to the 60 to 0 and 80 to 0 stopping distances in R & T, are class leaders. For my purposes, I can't see droping $7K or so to upgrade the front/rears w/Renntech.

And haven't heard from anyone who's actually done the $1K ECU chip, so really don't know if it's either worth it or a safe mod. If everybody kicks in $10, I'll do the mod and report back :0

The one thing cars like the Z have over the Xfire, largely due to numbers on the road, is that there is a huge aftermarket market so that guys that want to dress their cars up have a bunch of options, or guys that want to soup up have a bunch of options. I click on the Forum store here about once a month, disappointed to still see that only Renntech stuff is listed.

So, unless I find some nice, place or dark gray wheels for the car, it's likely to stay pretty much as is.
