It's that monthly time again for us to dedicate a few pages to our loyal readers. If you want to see your car here and possibly win some free parts, send some high-resolution photos of your ride to readersrides@superstreetonline.com. Make sure the pic is at least 1mb in size. Please do not use your camera phone. We don't care how much you like your iPhone, the photo will suck and will not look good in print. For snail mail users, send your letters to Super Street, c/o Readers' Rides, 831 S. Douglas St., El Segundo, CA 90245. Don't forget to tell us your full name, mailing address (no P.O. Box please), daytime phone, year and model of your car and highlights of your mods.

Mods That Should Have Been Done Exterior looks hot. We wouldn't change a thing. Maybe accent the huge 370Z calipers with some nicer rotors. It's not about how much you do to your car; it's about not doing anything wrong. This is great example of all the right mods.
