Indeed I am. My thoughts exactly looking at the picture of the front.
I'm not sure what to go for as this is a budget project to some extent. I've found some aftermarket halo lights which were featured on a silver Z posted here recently and they looked nice, although a lot of people don't rate the aftermarket type.

Using the word 'stance' to describe the way a car appears, for example 'improving its stance', is grammatically correct - lowering a car can and does improve it's 'stance' from an aesthetic point of view. Anyone who can't understand that and makes puerile, belittling comments on others' use of the term should be shot. Just IMO.
However, I do understand that 'stancing' a car, or describing a car as being 'stanced' also has modern grammatical meaning in the car modification community - I don't personally find 'stancing' a car appealing, but each to their own.

Title of this post was a bit of a joke really. I appreciate the car isn't sitting on the floor with the wheels at 45 degrees. Just wanted to share some pics of the new rims and get some feedback. Thought that was what the forum was about.

Nah, I think the rubbing needs to be shaving your tyres to qualify as being proper stanced. Oh, and you need to be able to be able to run your wheel along a kerb without coming close to scraping the wheel, even though the rim is completely exposed by ludicrously stretched tyres. Unfortunately we have a long way to go. Not sure I have the willpower or stamina to keep up with the times 
Stance
To destroy a cars handling abilities by having it lowered an excessive amount. Typically, the tires are tucked way inside the vehicles fenders. But in order to have a hellaflush stance and run the required excessively wide wheels with tires that are stretched just to fit onto the wheels, the car has to have an excessive amount of negative camber. If you stand behind one of these cars don't be surprised to see the rear tires looking like "/ \". The rear tires are probably bald on the inside and the outside still looks brand new, and there's probably only an inch of contact patch with the ground. A hellaflush stance car can't even pull into a driveway without bottoming out and ripping the bumper off or cracking the vehicles oil pan. Some stanced cars are so extreme that you can't even turn the vehicles steering wheel fully in either direction without the tires rubbing.
"Eric, look at that stanced car, it looks so damn retarded. I don't understand why these kids do it, they are killing the performance and asking to get pulled over. s**t, if they get pulled over, they are gonna get deported!"
"With all that money he spent stancing his car, he could have actually made it handle well and be pretty damn quick. Instead he can't even go over a speedbump without using 2x4s."

The car has settled, its just where it was up on jacks all day with the hubs hanging freely stretching the springs open. I took that pic just after I put the wheels back on and dropped the jacks, hence the high look. When the cars clean ill re post some side profile pics
No offence taken to the other posts and thanks for the positive feedback to those that posted some!
