more stuff planned out for mr Z.

Time for a more refinded and simple hood, a bit more on the OEM side.. less rice flavored. Im not selling my current, just needed a change of pace. VIS R35 hood w naca vents, wrapped matching pearl white.
Excuse the rough chop up using MSPaint today lol.

Are you going to gangster tint the windshield so if you ever get pulled over they will walk up guns drawn?

Tinted windshields do look good but are frowned upon for night driving and the police dont seem to appreciate the lack of a view. Although every time ive seen it done the car was an unmarked cruiser.

Car is looking awsome as always, loved the color before but this looks like it will come out great with the new scheme as well. Love the new rotors!!

went a bit different on wheel color.
Brighter is better..

Peek a Blue over polished, w a satin clear coat.





Niche ascari wheel looks legit too.. very similar to the basic design of the Rays Gramlite 57fxx

I am happy to say that I am officially on board the team with Voodoo13.

I am picking up all parts made for the Z33 chassis aside from their brake button and akebono brackets later on this week... very cool.
