Widebody Zx - My contribution to the Salad Bar Club!
I gotta side with the OP here on the issue of the emblem. It doesn't take being off-center much to make the emblem appear to be off center in relation to something further in the distance, like the rear window washer. If you look at it in relation to the licence plate indented area on the bumper below the emblem, it does, indeed, appear to be centered.
He IS busted on the fact that the emblem is mounted on the hatch, which is not part of the kit, therefore has no pre-molded area for the emblem to go, BUT he had to remove the Nissan hamburger from the hatch, which left two centered holes to line the Veilside emblem up over, so I find it highly unlikely that something so simple was screwed up.
To the OP: we really would like to see more pics of the car. As I stated earlier, which you conformed, the angle of the shot greatly exagerates the size of the wing. While I do have to question your taste based on the tail lights and the Honda plate frame (I Assume it's there for alignment purposes having to do with the cameras and you'll be replacing that), the Vs V3 kit is a good, agressive kit and looks good when done well, so put up some more pics and show your baby off! I'd like to see the rest of it, how it looks from the side with the wing, what wheels you have, etc. While the look isn't my cup of tea, I can respect the money and work that went into it. Nevermind the haters, but you have to admit you were asking for it by posting that one, unflattering pic.

Hmm, now depending what the OP uses his Z for, I was wondering if for track work, then that wing would provide a fair amount of downforce one would imagine.

4) The markers may be on the body kit, but NOT on the hatch where you placed it.
and 5) You can assume I do have custom bodywork b/c all of my badging is centered. Just looks like an amateur did yours.
In conclusion, your rear badge is NOT center but off to the left.
And why do you need 2 rear cameras? one is plenty sufficient.

first thing i did was draw a rectanglar bar so i could rotate the image so it was on the level.. as you can see both tail lights are now on a level..
then i made a triangle from the light to the emblem.. then i copied the layer and flipped it horizontally so its the same exact triangle.. and the emblem is indeed off
here is the psd with all the layers if you want to play with it yourself

PS - i think you should make the image bigger next time...
The wing and those tails are bit too much. The VS wide body is a nice kit, but that wing and tails take away from the widebody kit. Good effort in making your Z stand out in a crowd, but change those tails to the new 06-07 LEDs and get a smaller wing...

Zucrazy, why post only one pic and give people the opportunity to flame on an assumed basis.. Give us more pics so we can make a more accurate judgememnt noob... I mean you asked for our opinions and that's what you got.
Doug -> Your right triangle is too far to the right.. Therefore I will assume the emblem is dead centre.
