Then get it done. :duffer:

It'll cost of a fortune to have them done at a later date. IMHO, I'd get it done now. You'd be the first and IMHO, would make the kit far far more appealing.

interesting example
Don't think there's a huge amount there. All looks like pretty inexpensive stuff. Interior is amusing. The tiny out-of-proportion wheels are as bad as the doors. That really does look hideous. So called 'lambo doors' with prancing horse paraphernalia on the number plates! LOL Like sticking a Lada badge on an FSO. Stuff like that makes Z ownership embarrassing.

Sneaky Peek Of The 370Z
Not fussed by it either. Needs to be a drastic re-design to make it anywhere near as striking as the Z32.

Sneaky Peek Of The 370Z
Wondering if it'll look any more inspiring than the standard 350Z.

Who fancies a "gimp" zed
Looks just like old standard leather to me! :wack:

Alternate rear fog light mod
One of my reversing lights has been converted to rear fog light. Because I never use mine in the winter when the fog and mist is about, I have it wired so that all I need to do is swap over a tiny bit of harness. So that out of MOT I have two reverse lights and all my other lights work as per normal. Have a very small rocker switch in the kick panel, so you can't even see it. :) I've never ever used the fog light on mine.

Oh no, the 'Farrari' Z is back with its mysterious 500bhp engine!
David Copperfield? LOL, guess the previous owner who bull crapped about its performance amongst other things told him that! Wasn't he a magician anyway???

Removing horrid Stone Guard
Billyboat. Yes. :) You could get custom back boxes made. Wouldn't cost as much and would certainly look a lot better than a single exit.

Nooooooooo don't put a single exhaust on. Single exhausts are for 4 cylinder non-sports cars.

Removing horrid Stone Guard
Yes, because I did part of the rear bumper. The bumpers are actually a finish that's moulded into the plastic itself. It's only a few hundred microns thick, so smoothing the plastic off there won't really effect structural integrity. You have to be very careful though as you can sand down low spots and make it loose it's continuity. Luckily, the body shop knew what they were doing and did a good job. Front bumper takes some time on the TT models. Sides are different. The sides have a bitumen stone guard on them which sands back very easily. Don't sand it off completely, just smooth it off so the finish is even. You still need some protection there. Makes a nice clean subtle difference. The stone guard is about the only standard feature of the car that I really dislike. Especially noticable on dark coloured cars. Well worth doing.

Home Sweet Home
If I was to start again...it has been thought about. Bayside blue would be the colour of choice. Can't afford a colour change and to be honest, I'd probably start from a shed and rebuild everything. Good with with getting it finished.

oh what to do first!
I actually want to replace all the glass on mine with UK spec glass. Much nicer tint than the bronze JDM. I'll get round to doing it one day.

You just please yourself. I've never liked the aftermarket rear lights as you loose the Z look from the back and they are key features IMHO. But that's just me. I think you should insist. I'd love to see it done. Something I've always felt that kit needed to finish it off and give it a real quality look. Nice one on the thinking of it. Hope to see it done. :duffer:

"Twinz" Front Bumper Now Available.......
Yeah, I totally understand and it's what I think too. They never seem to flow with the rest of the lines of the car. The curvatures are different from the sides and the back, the swage line always seems to vanish and they often don't fit as well as OEM bumpers.

February 17th Bristol Classic Car Show
Would be nice yes. Shame it's changed management. The whole park your car on the grass in formation and socialise/eat next to it was really cool. Probably the best car club meet I've ever been to. Nice and relaxing.

I agree.

February 17th Bristol Classic Car Show
I'm going to try and get to a few of the Summer meets. I hope we have another Summer meet at Ross on Wye like we did nearly 3 years ago. This was my first meet and it was a fantastic day out. Perfect weather, great turnout, good food.

- Ok, I'm giving it a go with Z32-Zone
Cool, had a response from Joji already. $260 plus shipping which won't be much on that as it's lightweight and small. :)- at last, its gone in
Looking good! Get them to fill in the fieldmouse vents on the rear quarters. Something I've not seen done, but something that would smarten the look of the kit up no-end! Shame about the choice of rear lights.- Ok, I'm giving it a go with Z32-Zone
I had thought about that. Touch screen thing with USB ports or something. I like the uncluttered look it gives. Reason why I have no gauges and pods stuck everywhere. Kinda makes it more sleek and easy to the eye with the twin-DIN set up over the two DIN stack. - Ok, I'm giving it a go with Z32-Zone
