i also think to shave the bottom of the rear bumper like the blue australian Z, I would love to show the HKS exhaust but i dont think the cops here in Canada gonna like it.

if someone in Canada (Montreal, QC) have the HKS and can tell me if he add any problem with it ?

And on the design side i am open to any sugestions before we cut the bumper

Yikes a lot of potential bullseyes on that roof. Thats going to take some time to finesse that out nice and straight. I can't figure out why but that rear bumper calls out to me.

yep thats going to take some work, and we think, the right quarter panel going to be worst

and i think i know what you mean with the rear bumper... it is too much, thats what i was thinking and do not want to order it because of that, but after showing it to a lot of people, i decide to take the risk... and since, thats my favorite parts of the car. i cannot wait to see that *** in candy apple red

The rear cut out is not that bad. It's similar to bumper tuck on oem bumper.

I would caution you NOT to buy those wheels
There has been a history of "Forged" wheel makers out of florida that have come and gone. They pop up, sell some cheap wheels at very high end prices and then dissappear.

They have beautiful websites and photography, and all sell the same lines of crap.

I love this color, I had an MR2 back in 03 this color. If I were ever to paint another car to this level its the same thing I'd do again. Nothing beats this classic.

Check out Vossen Wheels or CCW for some great looking 18s.

I actually like the headlights you purchased. They don't look terrible. That might be a great first set to modify and try to DIY for the price.

Are you going to pull the motor/ shave the bay etc to paint the car?
