Concept Z front end looked better
I think the Concept Z front end looked better. It was a lot shorter and rounded, which exagerated the wheel arches. With the wheels so close to the front, it looks like a more aggressive performer (psychologically looks like it would turn better). The arches also followed the contours of the wheel better, especially at the bottom. It looks a little s2000ish. Well, maybe they made more room for mods. (Like an intercooler )

I have noticed this also.I like the shorter front end,but the production version has a smaller opening on the front end(much nicer).I think the wheel arches are smaller because the concept had 20 inch tires.I think some things come down to the almighty dolllar(keeping production costs lower).

i like the production version better, cuz i think the grill is way tooo round and the car doesn't look as aggressive as the production version. but then i like the style of the concept's muffler.
BTW, are we going to get the orange break in our production version?

i would imagine that the concept nose would not pass DOT regulations. Especially the 5 mph bumper test.
But i do agree with VQracer, the grill was pretty large. Maybe it will be that big with the intercooler for the supercharger

They are called calipers. Thats why the statement sounded funny. So in the future try using the word caliper
but the kit doesn't seems to be a track model, no spoiler at all~

oh yeah, caliper, sorry to confuse u guys, i knew there's a word with the caliper yet just forgot it.
But then the caliper look kinda orange instead of red like the brembo, anywayz, might be u are right they didn't set out things that well in early test mule.
