Default Zerosun front (before PIX)

I've been lookin all over for images of this front on a z, couldn't find any so I thought i'd share. The front is zerosun, sides and back are stillen, like the title says these are the before pix, within the next few mths i'll update with rims, paint job, grille, fog lights, painted headlight housing and possibly drop too. need comments ( good and bad ), mainly looking opinions on if i chould have the body shop cut out the buck tooth or not. I really like the greddy kit so i might sell the whole thing and get the greddy.











Can someone with photoshop skillz remove the buck tooth for me plz??

yeah the kit look nicer with two center pole removed. I think stock wheel isn't that bad, its kindda nice and elegant. Just lower your car like an 1", then be done with it.

Looks cleaner without the center piece, but then you'd be modifying an already ultra rare kit. Tough call. You must have liked it as is to buy it. Does that center piece serve any purpose?

serves no purpose as far as I can tell. I really like the kit. that's exactly my dilemma- modifying a freakin' zerosun, but i guess in the end its what i prefer and I definately need a clean look, I was contemplating having the shop paint the center posts black, the grille is going to be black mesh.

thx for the edit sparko, i'd actually leave the air duct and remove the canards ( what do they do?) though

why not just paint the centre piece black? It's probably there for structual reasons.

I would say leave it unless you have supreme confidence that your body shop is gonna do a spotless job.

+1. The bottom of the bumper may sag over time without the support. I've heard the same thing about the aerosynch bumper. I think some got around it by having the body shop add a metal bar/pipe behind to reinforce it though.

The only other thing that I can think of is that taking it out may leave a notch in the top of the lower part due to the way it molded/laid up (not sure if it's fiberglass or urethane). I think it would take a significant amount of money for the shop to fix it.
