ImportLife (Matt),

Hey this is John (DTM Autohaus), I was wondering if you could email more pics of your car. The car looks good and from the pic I did see the rims seem to sit nicely.

I think it looks nice. Pontiacescent or not, the nostrils make it look more aggressive.

Default Yall are ********!

I think some you could actually be a little nicer with your comments. If yall wanna have comments like that, you come up with your own body kit and put into production then we can talk. That is a work of art. Everyone does have their own opinion but some of yall are going to DAMN far!

Thanks for backing me up Zyal8tr. Don't get too peeved. You have to understand that a lot of people take self worth in putting others down on the internet. It doesn't bother me and dont let it bother you.

I was going to reply to some of these posts but I realized also that a lot of Z owners here are senior or have more subtle tastes. but those who badmouth are more hideous to me because they have no self control and talk out of their *******.

But they have their right to badmouth. And i have the right to let them show how stupid they are by not replying.

Nice but the two holes on top remind me of a trans am or something.

What if you closed up the passanger side hole and kept just the drivers side hole?

With the short ram intake/pop charger just inside it?

I like the idea of that!!!!!
Hey Matt,

I am sorry, I did not want to offend you or anything. Overall I REALLY like the kit alot. They did an excellent job, I do however have to admit it does remind me of the trans am in the front.
My point about only one hole up top is because of the intake only being on the drivers side.

Do you have plans that require the passanger side hole?


Like a turbo or something????

Importlife.com,

Don't get me wrong, I do think it's very attractive. I just don't like the dual air inlet things like most here. I do not, however, think it's all bad, fugly, etc (like some have said). I just do not care for the Pontiacness (if that's a word ) of it.

I'm sure you understand that.

I also do appreciate the time and effort that you put into it. That is a daunting task at best.

My main problem with it overall, and my problem with many Z kits, is they take away the character of the front of the care. They take away it's Z-ness and change it to something else.

I like the front of the Z. I don't want to change it, but I would like to enhance it.

All in all, bravo. Well done.

redcomet, all_bark, jeffrey

your comments were not bashing at all. I can def take constuctive criticism and I appreaciate it as well.

I would have to agree that the nostrils throw off the look of the original lines, but I never was in love with the front or the back.

Just my personal preference. I had no intentions of ever going for a mild kit. And business wise, i think this Sarona Kit will do extremely well with the younger age group and the japan market.

The project is not even close to being started. this is just the outside. Made a blitz of calls to potential sponsors today. I am not done by a long shot.

Okay the rear bumper is cool along with the rest of the kit.
The nostrils screw it up though.
One reason I would not buy the front fascia is because I know many are ignorant about cars and they might label my Z as a Pontiac. I just cant help but see it that way.

I sent a link of the funny picture with the Pontiac insignia on the front bumper to my friend...

I had to tell him it was a Z. He thought it was a Sunfire.
