Zuracan

It all started from a cheap bumper on Offerup. I saw this person in Miami selling a Gallardo bumper for $150 and being a 21 year old college student in Miami you see all these exotic sport cars that you would love to drive. I just sold my last 350z build because of it being auto and bought a manual HR from the salvage yard for dirt cheap because I knew I was going widebody to fit a Lamborghini bumper and cutting up a clean title car which cost more ehh wasn't worth the extra $5000. All said and done I wanted something new. I have a bodyman in Chicago that can make or do just about anything so I wasn't too worried about the fabrication part. Listen to this it's almost impossible to find a bodyman to do this kind of fabrication unless it's yourself because they don't want to waste time and struggle when they can bondo in a dent for a quick $400. I called 11 shops and 9 said no, the two shops that would take on the project said they wanted $11,000 and for that price I'd rather buy a new car. Then, I had to find an aftermarket rear bumper so I checked eBay cuz who doesn't. None really stood out so I check Lamborghini bumper on offerup and there it was.. a huracan rear bumper. So lol I bought it. Let me tell you I had no idea what I was getting into. I see Lamborghini and I'm like that so cool but I didn't think about the work that would go into making it fit on a z. Oh and I also found out the outrageous price to widebody a car right too. From camber arms to Coilovers to super wide 3 piece wheels the money just keeps leaving the bank account but you end up with something like this below. Enjoy and thanks for reading! There's still some bodywork I would like to redo like the straight lines on the side of the front bumper to be more round like the z bodylines but that'll be this summer when I go back to chicago and graduate this spring from my university in Miami. Also I'm happy I made the car because I got to meet new people in the car community and you can always send me a dm about something or a question.

I wouldn't rock it. But I appreciate this very much. The rear looks super aggressive. the front resembles a lambo too much (your intentions). prob one of the top widebody Z's i've seen. (not a fan of widebody Zs at all to begin with)

Much different than everyone elses builds. Actually like the way the rear turned out. Front seems out of place. Definitely looks like you thought it through. Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn't be caught dead in something like that but to each their own I guess.

Cool car, but some things just don't make sense 🤔

Admire the work put in even if not my style.



Not denigrating. Just the first thing that came to mind.

Wow, that's a lot of custom work!

Really impressed with the rear(first picture), but yeah after seeing the second picture ehhh. Front could of been done differently

813_350Z

Agreed. I think it may have come out differently if the front and rear were both from the Huracan.

Congratulations on seeing such a large undertaking through to a finished project, Zuracan! I appreciate that you started with a salvage-title car as your starting point, rather than mod'ding a more preserved car. I'll echo the other sentiments here that the rear end looks very well put together - I like it. I also like the interior treatment (diamond stitched floor covering, blue accent light).

I'm trying to put my finger on what it is with the front end that doesn't sit as well with me, and I think I'm stuck with the mating line between the fender and the bumper cover - two angles come together at that line, rather than it flowing up from the bumper into the fender curve without that stutter. And there's something similar with the line from the fender to the "air duct" behind the front wheel, too.

But don't consider my critique as meant to distract or take away from how awesome an effort it is that you completed the project and your vision with these components! Great job!

Now, as a former-Illinoisian - how bad was the process to get it approved for the road? Or were you OK with the salvage title? Any additional inspections needed?

This bumper might have been a good compliment to the rear.

zeethreethree

what bumper is this?

The back is definitely cool. The side profile looking from the back is cool. The front, well it is different. Props on all the work.

Rear looks great, front is a little much for my taste, but great work regardless.

If I were to ignore the... funky kit, paint and body work looks to be done by a rookie, quite wavy.

Very wild, some good work done.
