I am not a rim expert, I picked these up from a guy used. What is the best way to tell what my offset is so that I can figure out what size spacer to get?

I've always like this kit, very clean.. hatch looks a bit empty.. might want to finish it off with the visage wing. Also, it can't be played out, since I've never once seen this kit on the road.. only at meets and car shows.

I LIKE THE LOOK!! I have not seen a Z with your set-up in PPW. That is a color that lends itself to a lot of different looks. Congrats on a nice Z!!!


BTW...what hood is that you have???

JP Type A has always been one of my favorite kits. would have grabbed it up, but I got too good of a deal on my INGS replica to pass up. Very nice

You do know these photos are photoshopped by a pretty experienced person right...but no one is perfect unless they spend a lot of time at it. If you look closely, you can see the mistakes. Yes, it looks real close but some photo are real. The car is pasted over the background and wheels are cropped on using the software.

Your kit looks very aggressive. Looks great. I would have had them silicone it first or bonded, then paint it. I can tell either they cut you a deal, spent too much time and said the heck with it, or they weren't very knowledgable working with Fiberglass. Maybe you can change the silcone to white to hide it better. For you rims, they hot. I'm sure you told them you wanted it to fit like oem with no modification / rubbing. Becareful with potholes as your setup is unforgiving. Hate to see those edges get slammed and possibly bent rims.

Everyone has their own taste but they don't need to be very nasty as well. Give recommendations is good enough, but people post pictures for a reason. Would you post something and ask people what they think if you weren't proud of it? You guys remind me of those commercial with the girl ripping on her class mate about how ugly she was and her mom has lots of B-friends. I bet you laugh your a$$ off. How did it go again? "If you wouldn't say it in person, Don't type it online" <--- Say no to online Bullying Man... I guess the 100k investment in commercial to send a message was a complete waste huh guys? Its okay..... let it out fellas..... Dam that bully kid in grade school for stealing your snack. I guess all them wedgy really mess you guys up. Any grief counselor in the house?????? Anyone????

Actually there very knowledgeable with fiberglass, they have had quite a bit of cars in mags, 2 months ago they had a lexus they did in modified mag, it was at HIN in orlando.

Now for the time issue, that is more on point. He told me that the way the kit set on the car that there was a big gap right behind the door. I am sure if he had time he could of fixed the problem by adding to the skirt. Now on the other hand, he had my car for 2 1/2 months and knew that I wanted my car back ASAP, so he went with the black, only because on the roof there is that black seal strip between the roof rail runners and the roof itself. He copied that to make it look uniform.

It actually looks really good in person.

I appreciate the remarks about basher's. I wanted peoples opinions, they don't have to like it, but at least be respectful when saying it.

Mm not sure I like it. Looks a little too overdone to me, but maybe if you got the kit molded it would flow better. I don't know but something looks off.

I like everything but the front. Never did like the front of that kit.

I was also thinking of getting that kit's side skirt but found out it wasn't a direct replacement but instead, goes over the original side skirts which I didn't want.

not feeling the rear lip at all, i'd take it off and do the rear bumper mod.. it would look much cleaner. the side skirts are cool, the front bumper isn't bad, but i'd definitely take it back to the body shop and have them fit the pieces better.

doesn't look too bad, I have 10.5" rear rims and I thought my 285's were too skinny, you definately need wider tires plus spacers. Also are those vents in the hood open all the way through? If so how do you plan on keeping the engine bay clean if it rains?

Never been a fan of over-the-top kits like that.
