Kumho Ecsta MX -- 245/40/18 front; and 275/35/18 rear. If I had it to do over again, I'd get 275/40/18 on the rear.
Can you see me driving around Downtown Los Angeles in the car without the front fenders, bumper, and hood? The noise my exhaust makes would be louder. NO ONE would J-walk in front of me. LOL.

These pictures sure don't illustrate anything to support an accident:
-The rail structure is intact
-The inner fenders and panels are not buckled
-Neither the upper or lower stabilizers are bent
-air bag wasn't deployed in last pic
-were any windows broke? (shattered due to unit body)
-modified front suspension
-The side mirrors are missing
with the black Porsche in the background of the second picture, this looks more a shop that does performance mods...

Now that's funny !!!
Do you really think I would lie and say I got hit by a metro bus, when what I was really doing is installing mods? It is the official body shop of Beverly Hills Porsche (hence the 911 in the background), and they do nice work. The UR Pulleys and Crawford Plenum have been in the car for about 10 months. I got the Tein coilovers about 5 months ago. Removing both front fenders, hood and bumper is a rather expensive way to get to the engine bay, don't you think? LMFAO

Re: My Naked 350Z
I love that first pic of the front end from down low. So bad ***. To be honest, I think that's *much* meaner looking than the goofy front end Nissan stuck on the Z. 
I don't know why everyone is cringing at the idea of having body panels off. I've removed the front end of just about every car I've owned in order to do some mod or another. You should try it on Audi A4.

I think it looks cool.
Actually front looks a little like Lotus 340R or Ariel Atom now, thanks to those plastic pieces around the wheels. Only Z looks way more mean! I'd put some cool bamper and drive like that!
