I took Dane's challenge to make a car similar to his or better! and now that i have some money today i purchased...

Khoa
LED Angel Eyes
LED Interior Lights
Black Grilles
Black Hood Ornament (B/W)
Trunk Ornament (B/W)
Wheels Ornament (B/W)

ECS
2x BMW Carbon Licence Plates
Front Bumper Trim (for no plates)
ECS E-Brake Handle

eBay
///M Pedals
Imola Red Touch Up Paint

DDM
No Hole Licence Plate

Plan to Paint
Front Bumper (Like Danes)
Black Calipers

(and HID Fog Lights)

I dont plan to lower the car because I live in NYC and pot holes are ridiculous! i Blew up my front right tire a couple of weeks ago cost me $200 bucks I'm running on Continentals i forgot what find.. but you get the point.

and for an NYC car its pretty NICE because I really baby it and I really do those "You know you own a ZHP when..." things with my ZHP lol

I'll Post Pictures of Before and After =] i Plan to do all of this within 3 weeks and then in the future not now get all around white lights the amber looks good to me still because the NY plates are amber so they match!

I don't buy the while rough roads argument for not going a little lower. The H&R Sports lowered it enough to get rid of the wheel gap ( gap kills -- can I get an amen??) without sacrificing ride quality. Plus, the lowering isn't dramatic enough to cause scraping or problems with clearance. Roads in Louisiana are notoriously bad, and my setup works great.
That is all. Your whip is awesome.

Amen! Can I get a witness?!

As low as my car is....I manage to navigate it pretty well in the tore up streets in Norfolk. It definetely make you pay attention to road conditions.

I may not be able to speak for other places but the streets here at home, like L0ve said though some of our streets are absolute crap. Some streets you have to drive through potholes just because the ones next to them are even worse! And in some cases the holes are very deep.

Amen brotha.

Lowering doesn't necessarily make bad roads intolerable.

I travel all over the country and the roads are bad everywhere. I will say though, NYC has some of the absolute worst in the nation.

I BLEW MY BOTTOM LEFT TIRE TODAY! another $200 dollars gone! for a new tire... I seem to just have bad luck.. this is one factor of why I once in a while think about selling the ZHP and buy myself a Jeep, but when i drive it i fall in love again and it looks beautiful too

Bottom left? Hopefully all your tires are on the bottom. :)

Sorry to hear about the blown tire. Before you sell, consider buying a daily driver vehicle and keep the ZHP for the weekend.

Or, an alternative; SLOW DOWN! NY's roads are an atrocious piece of garbage, as a unit.

Yeah I should have slowed down but its that I was going pretty fast and I saw the pot holes on the left and the car to my right tried to turn on top of me so I had to throw myself to the left or crash -_- and by bottom left I mean like sitting in the passenger seat. And I can only have one car im only 18 lol

Being 18 is all the more reason to slow down. You're only as fast as the slowest person on the road. And if you're in the city...that's just downright silly.

Ok boys and girls. I think Love has the idea.

Let's lighten up on the cyber-back-seat driving.

Well done love. I am sure that was your only option. You did well to avoid a multi car crash. Glad you are ok brah.

Thanks Dane, I was scared that if i braked to hard then the driver behind me was going to not stop in time, and by fast I mean like 20~mph its NYC lol traffic jams are frequent and people LOVE!! being bumper to bumper while driving, which i HATE!

I have found that some drivers constantly get flats due to potholes, debris, etc while others seem to avoid these hazards.

For example, my wife in her Passat Wagon will kill a tire at least twice a year on potholes. I have never (knock on wood) had a pothole cause any damage. Could be luck, but I think it is more likely the attention and focus of the driver, and always anticipating what-ifs.

I have not had a flat. I am the best driver ever.
