Well... OK, it's not a show car, just a daily driver. Not sure what you all will think (I've seen the harsh roasting), but at the risk of being roasted (I am a Chicken after all, so I'm used to it), here's Chicken's Z. It's been fun watching it change...

Looks like you have some interesting lower lights, in the front.

wow i think that kit really works with those wheels. I love what you have done. After reading the title, i expected you to have 20inch chrome spinners Sweet Z!!! You do need some tinted windows though

Yeah, some tinting would be nice, and I'd like to make silver what isn't silver (light areas).

For pj550v12 (these are older shots with stock wheels)...

Nice, love the rims. I think someone with a silverstone roadster has the same kit and wheel combo. From VA I think, with a Vortech S/C. I love that combo.

Never was a big fan of this kit, but it seems to REALLY work well on silver and with those wheels.

Looks great! Good job!

Just curious... what's that little tooth in the front bumper? Is that where you're suppose to attach the license plate? Sick Ride by the way.

The tooth is the tow hook thingy. I'll probably fill it with the dreaded license plate thingy, which will probably look worse, but at least keep me from getting pulled over.

another vote for a spoiler! perhaps the Vizage wing or Nismo, but I think the Vizage will go better with the "Vizage" kit. Kit looks nice BTW.

Chicken,Chicken,Chicken...what are we going to do with you........







I LOVE IT! I just got confirmation today that my Vizage FRP kit (The whole damn thing, nose, skirts, rear apron AND SPOILER) is clear of customs and on a truck to my house!!! As far as I know, I will be the first Redline Z with this kit installed. My car is lowered with Eibach springs, too. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Anyway, I'm with the other guys. The aggressive front bumper of the Vizage kit really mandates the need for a spoiler to balance out the look of the car. And you need to get your windows tinted to remove that "I'm a Virgin Z" look.

I'm diggin' the wheels, too. Nice job man.


EDIT: It looks like you have a minor fitment issue on the front bumper. The hood <-> bumper seam is a little larger on one end than the other. It might be the photo, but if not, I'd have the shop address that.

Yep, that's ThreeFittyZ. He's got Volk GT-C's on his car though.
