Looks pretty good. However I think it's safe to say the coupes can pull those wheels off a lot better than the roadsters.

All an opinion... I think they look better on the roadsters. They are a VIP wheel. And the coupe is to sporty for VIP wheels.

OK, I'll bite. What's a "VIP" wheel? Scary to think what those things weigh.

Its just a style of wheel. I consider these more of a VIP style wheel. And yes they do have some weight to them.

Nice car. And what's with this coupe vs. roadster BS anyway? They're different cars that most folks want for different purposes.

Each one is about 50-60 HP.... in all honesty most of them are supporting my fellow local car companies.

Meh....looks like it was a thrown together car. The Z was never built to be a VIP car.

There's a silverstone roadster in the modified roadsters section that pulled off the VIP look very well. Too lazy to hunt it down though.

i like the exterior of the car and understand the direction, but think it needs something out front to finish it off. maybe aerosync bumper or ings front lip.
the engine bay (black&red as well as all the stickers) imo doesnt go with how clean and the simplicity of how the exterior is.
if you're just showing support then maybe a uniform rollcall on the back glass could work in other words...no stickers.

Hey guys I have taken some critism and some advice. I am ordering a full body kit to finish off the body allong with "other" exterior mods. Also, I have taken off some stickers. I want to give you guys an update on the car.

First photoshoot

It wouldn't hurt my eyes as much if you added a front lip. VIP was for sedans... anyone that tells you otherwise should look up the origin of the VIP/Bippu theme.

Just a little insight I am going with an origin urban kit with full front and half lip rear. and I get that VIP was started for sedans. But I think the roadster looks good with these wheels. But I appreciate everyones imput.
