I want to do that with my 03 ZX5, I have SVT rims and with stock suspensions the wheel gap is bad. RE: ZX3 BUILD THREAD - 2MuchDub4U - 04-10-2013 I tried getting ur tail lights of this site and they discontinued them -_- RE: ZX3 BUILD THREAD - Kick@$$ZX3 - 04-10-2013 the install was easy if you have a strut tamer or a way to compress the springs but if your not gonna strip your old strut mounts and bearing off your factory struts your gonna have to buy them and for some reason my kit the nut for the strut wouldnt work other then that it was farley simple i really like my tail lights i bought mine of a guy in Edmonton, but i see them on ebay all the time RE: ZX3 BUILD THREAD - drunkinmonkey - 04-10-2013 off to a decent start so far for sure RE: ZX3 BUILD THREAD - Kick@$$ZX3 - 05-05-2013 update changes are new projector headlight black bumper sidemarker light plastidiped rims and lower front bumper and emblems and i have seats but im waiting for seat brackets RE: ZX3 BUILD THREAD - 2MuchDub4U - 05-05-2013 Looking good bro, I should do a build thread xD RE: ZX3 BUILD THREAD - adamzx5 - 05-05-2013 The svt kit is the way to go.
