I'm torn betweent GT-C's and SF-Winnings. I like both but I'm starting to see a LOT of GT-C's out there, and I like to be unique, so I'm leaning towards the winnings. We'll see!!
IMO, there are too many Z's out there with GT-C and SF-Winnings.

i think these would look DOPE on your Redline. The Kinesis K58

Hmmmm.....Interesting. I don't know if I'm feeling those... I tend to lean towards wheels with a little more intricate design. To me, the 5 spoke wheels (like these and the Hart Racing ones) are a little too similar to the old corvette wheels. The GT-C's have a very 'Ferrari' look about them, and the SF-Winnings are similar to the wheels on many Porsche 911s.

I think the wheel decision will be the hardest styling choice I'll have to make on this car. The color, the kit, the tint, the springs, those were all relatively easy choices.

the kit looks really good on redline!The Vizage was one of my choices for a body kit. The only thing that drove me away from it was that the front end will be too low for NY and my car is CS. If my car was SB or RL or even DB.. I would have jumped on this body kit.

Congrats man. Your car is better than mine! I really need to jump on the band wagon and get a kit on... everyone is making my car outdated! LOL

But very very nice kit. I'm thinking we should start up a meet. I'm thinking mid Oct. Dave and Busters, then optional cruise to Skyline? Would be awesome to check out the car.

PS - Regarding your front bumper, did you consider taking the mesh off and spray painting it a flat black? I did that to my mesh on my hood (Seibon VS style) and makes it much cleaner IMO, I think it'd look amazing on your car.. And second, regarding rims.. DONT GET GTC! jk, I love mine, very nice.. but like you said it seems every and their mother has one.. I say go with the new Racing Hart J8s (I think thats it). There is a member on this board sponsored by them with the same bodykit.. interesting how that worked out.. So gunmetal RH's and black mesh would look HOT..

Let me know if you need help spray painting the mesh or anything. We could meet up some day.

Finally, huge meet @ MIR on Sept 12, I better see you there

Hey all,
The body shop had my car for almost 3 weeks fitting/painting/installing my Vizage body kit. To my knowledge, I'm the first Redline owner to install the whole kit. I've seen a few Redline Z's with the skirts on 'em, but never the whole thing. I'm really happy with the work they did. Check it out.
i saw one in boston a few months back. so....you are the second. i've never seen the person in this forum...but, i think he's on a few others (he has a supra as well). i saw him at a supra meet that my buddy put together. i haven't seen him since. i'll ask my buddy who he is and find out if he's on this forum

Awesome! It's absolutely gorgeous. Never knew a Redline Z can look any sexier! I would love to see your Z with shiny shoes! Make sure you show us when u get them!

p.s. Your car is just too inspiring....

Hey Ricky! Thanks for the compliments. I'm having trouble seeing the black on the grill mesh, but it's an interesting thought. I guess I'll have to go out and stare at my car for awhile to see if I can picture it.

As for rims, I wouldn't worry. That's at least a year away (and probably more because the S/C is going in next summer). I haven't seen the RH rims you're speaking of.

As for a meet...I'm totally game to meet in October or any other time. I love hangin out with other Z owners just talkin' cars and stuff. I've never done Skyline, so I would love the opportunity to hit it with some other Z's.

Speaking of meets, there is a weekly car meet that happens every Friday in Sterling. Everything from Vipers to 60's Corvettes to Prowlers and Import Tuners show up. This is a pretty cool event, especially if you appreciate cars other than just the Z. I've been trying to hook up with guys out at the Ferrari dealership on 28 so we can all head to the meet together. You should come out! liveoneva, manofsteele2003 and Pusha_Z are a few guys that live here in the area that I think will all come out if we can get it coordinated.

Check here for details:

http://nova350z.homeip.net:8080/forum/

Look under the "Area Gatherings" section.

And let me know if you decide to come out!

Thanks Cat!
You're car will be just as beautiful once the work is all done on it. I saw the "far away pics" post that you have on here, and your car looked GOOD! Once you get the re-finishing done, you'll be turning more heads than a nude super-model at a boys summer camp!!!
