Thats funny, I did the 2 tone thing with my lemans 2 years ago and everyone FLAMED me..

 

Craig, go to XS Customs!! Tell them I sent you and they will hook you up! The did the yellow / blue molded widebody Z.

10sec,

I think there's more to it than just two tone. I matched the graphite in the wheels and used that color for the body, I don't know what color you did with your LS but I think LS with all carbon on top would look silly. Color and quaility of the paint job really make it or break it

 

Here is my car..I did a similar thing with the wheels and the interior paint..I took my wheels apart and had the centers painted and color matched parts of the interior.The exterior is CF and lemans..Dont get me wrong, I like your car and the fact that you are "original" and I can appreciate it,unlike most.
However I must say, you need new wheels.I mean the choice of wheels make or brake the Z and it definitely needs a more aggressive stance like 9.5 front and 10.5 rears.Im personally running 285's in the rear and it makes the car look so much more aggressive..

 

i'm thinking about these:

 

Maybe for a Mustang, not the Z...Just curious, Why are you set on Konig?They make garbage wheels for the money.Look into some Racing Harts or ROJA's for that price range..

 

Cause I see more RH / Volk / or Roja wheels on a Z than anything else. My goal is to get Konig to make the wheels I have with a lip so I can go widebody with those rims.

One thing is for sure with the Konig Troubles...you either love em or hate em.

BTW, I like your hood alot, I'd paint the middle recess LS

 

You could just get some hub-centric spacers to give them a bit more aggressive look for now. I think the Troubles look good, they're just tucked in a bit more than most are used to.

 

Ooh, let me get in on this.

Here's me:

(P.S. go with the CF hood, I'm not a fan of the orange inserts in yours. But love the paint and front bumper! )

 

Hey, I just realized you have the esprit rear bumper.

Can you post more pics of it please??

 

I was thinking of getting just my roof painted, say gunmetal.

Bat™

 

Looks allright but if you're going that route, have them paint on the sides of the hood, out to where the bend on the quarter panel.

 

Your headlights look nice, do you have any closeup pics? How is the woutput at night?

lemans350zed: Your car looks great, I like teh combination, the obly thing I dont like that much is the black around the headlights.

 

i like it. reminds me of the old skool brown and gold datsuns.

 

taking more pics tomorrow...I may or may not have 12mm spacers installed

taurran: There are positives and negatives to painting the front fender like you mentioned. I currently have no plans/desires to paint it.

 

Great thanks!

 

awesome looking lemans cars ... to everyone who put em in this thread... I love the lemans I just didnt buy it because i didnt know if i could live w/ it everyday. Great looking two tone though. I love it w/ the troubles... i had the graphite reasons (7-spoke but otherwise same as the trouble) on my black se-r spec v. I also like those "new" konig wheels someone posted the picture of and would love to see one of these lemans cars w/ those!

 

well...short lived paint job...car goes into the bodyshop for a brand new widebody kit and going totally custom paint in 2 weeks, followed by new rims and a new TT...will keep everyone up to date

 

make sure you get lots of before and after pictures!
