Are these going to be sold or could any shop do what they did? And what about them selling the widebody kit?

mazzoo,
Once again. Nice Car!!! Aside, from changing the spoiler as I and many others have suggested earlier, I would also suggest the following:
Although your front and rear kit is already molded, I would have them mold it in more so that the line where it attaches doesn't show up. Similar to how you have your fenders and side kit (nice and smooth
.) Hmm? I wonder how cleared or blacked out headlight housing (to match your side mirrors and top of the car) would look like with this color combo 
.
Again, these are just suggestions. Your car is still BAD @SS regardless!!! Keep up the good work!

I'm not a real big fan of widebodys. Never saw one kit that actually looked better than the original lines and was clean without all the extra scoopes, vents, etc. However, DAMN nice car. So clean, everything just flows. Your Z looks like it sleeps with Ferraris and Porsches.
Keep us posted on the motor work.

I would say any very good shop could do what they did. This was a full metal widebody. This means they cut the fenders off and added metal to them. There is no easy way to make a kit and there are no plans on making a kit. Unless I get alot of people that want a kit. If I get alot of people requesting a kit then I will look into getting a mold made of the fenders and bumpers.

Thanks for the reply. The ''could any shop do what they did'' question was referring to the heads, did you have them flowbench tested before and after? or are you planning on doing this?

mazoo...i've pm'd you before regarding your paint job
AWESOME!!!!
i really wanted to see what this color looks like in person before I made my final decision, but couldn't find your car at SEMA. But took the plunge anyway and went with the same paint scheme, but on a G35.
here's a small preview...i love how the color shifts at different angles.

I am not a fan of the wing, but it look cool.
However I absolutely love the way the tint perfectly matched the roof giving it that Targa feel. Absolutely sick...congrats, hope it is as much fun working on it as it is to follow the project through this board.

I like the fact that the roof is also painted black for the seamless effect from the windshield. thats the first I've seen on a Z.
too bad they dont make t-tops.
