Default MSA Body Type 7 on Redline Roadster

After two years of stock, I've finally decide to put some mods to bring some zess back to my roadster. Thanks to Nick and Mike at 350zsource.com for great service and Peter at Huntington Auto and Body Shop here in Houston for painting the kit. Huntington did a fantastic job getting the color to match. Special thanks to my boy Tuyen for doing such a great job installing the kit. Here are some before and after pics:

Thanks! I was itching to buy another car. But the kit and new wheels make it feels like I got a brand new car Glad I waited a little longer to get the kit and wheels.

friggin best looking roadster i've ever seen. the one thing that isn't really my taste is the giant Z on the nav cubby. still the best roadster i've seen. beautiful and subtle, imo...looks like it could have come from factory that way

VERY nice! I love the front bumper. Aggressive, but not over the top.

Thanks for the nice comments!

I wanted the brushed aluminum look for the center console to match some of the aluminum accents that came with factory. Downfall was at the time it only came with the big Z. But then again, it might have been a safety hazard if it was filled in with aluminum. Sun shining on it would have blinded drivers in the rear

Awesome ride. I think the front bumper fixes the roadster's slighly boxy look. It really flows on the body lines. From a fellow roadster, your car is flat out beautiful.

Did you install puussy magnet?

Some new cross drilled brakes with red calipers would be nice

eh, no spoiler needed imo. you might ruin the super clean lines you have going. but yes, BBK would be the next recommended path. red calipers may be a bit too much red. If you're gonna go for the big brake kit...

Good point on the red being too much The black calipers would look really nice.
