Exclamation Going widebody! 56k beware!!

I've held on to these pictures thinking about posting this thread up every day but waiting for something, well..I'm sick of waiting.

First off, I wanna thank my sponsors and the community for making this possible

Second, I appreciate your comments and thoughts, but I don't think the thread requires haters...if it's not your style..fine...just say so w/o going overboard.

Third, the car used for these pictures is not mine, it is owned by Ibherdesign and was used to fit the kit(which will be available for sale in the U.S. soon)


All bodywork was done by Ibherdesign www.ibherdesign.com. The kit is named "Venom"

So without further ado

Old kit(for sale - PM me)


New kit going on:

I like the sides and the rear . The front bumper is just way to wide open for me . Maybe if the corner opening were a little smaller it would look better to me

I'll post some pics after the very nice APS FMIC is installed, I hope that changes a lot of opinions about the front being too wide open

That's mah boy! That FMIC is going to look HAWT!

BTW...what wheels are you planning on getting with this kit? You're definitely going to need wider wheels and a HUGE lip!

As mentioned on your other thread, this kit is definitely "aggressive". Not my cup of tea for daily driving but man does it draw your attention.

BTW...are you keeping the same color scheme or are you going totally custom?

I reccomend dumping those rims ASAP before you put that kit on. To pull it off you need some extreme low offset and possible spacers. If done up the right way, this could be a successful project. BUT could easily go south if you don't do it right.

I'm contemplating these wheels:


and I hear ya on the daily driving thing...those days are over.

I am so open to paint ideas it's not funny...sometimes I wanna continue doing the LS + graphite paint I have now, other times I wanna go crazy...if anyone wants to photoshop anything...I'm more than happy to play the design this show car game, and if do anything even remotely close to a design, I'll give you full credit at shows

Looks pretty cool ... I think it will look awesome with the IC because the front end does look slightly wide open. Those rims you are considering are SWEET!

Wow! Those rims are definitely HAWT! Nice choice.

Hmm? Color...Are you looking for something loud or a little more toned down? Since your kit is really aggressive already, I'd suggest doing it up in a custom dark metallic blue which I have not seen on a Z yet. It would go nicely with the rims you have now & if you ever wanted to throw in some CF goodies. If I remember correctly, I believe I've seen a few Silvia's sporting this color scheme.

+1.
please pick a color that is toned down.
like James suggested a dark metallic blue is cool or maybe a dark maroon color (not like brickyard) but like a really dark red/maroon.
