Default Chargespeed rear without vents

I know people have photoshopped this before, but this is the real deal
Progress is pretty good so far. Hopefully painting and instal will be complete by the end of the week (sorry for the crappy pic BTW)

the rear vents are the only ones that look good on the kit imho... i hope you are filling the front slots and side vents to match... it should look really good when you are done... i just chose to do the front and side vents.

Damn, your car looks hot!!!! Didn't know you had gotten a Chargespeed kit put on. I am only getting the rear, as I already have the Nismo V2 and Nismo sides.
IMO the vents (and vents in general) only look good on the coupe. My car is a roadster and my feeling is if you try to go too aggressive with the ZR(wings, canards etc) it just looks kinda goofy

Thanks man! Yeah it hasn't been on long, I'll be posting pics soon.

That rear will look really nice with the rest of your kit! Can't wait to see the final product!

reserved -- thanks!

Mr.Kaira --when you post your pics stick some in this thread (it needs some love): https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ht=chargespeed

btw, does this mean the name is gonna change again? MrChargespeed sounds like a good anime character... or maybe a good horse to bet on...

Yeah I found that thread, it was part of my inspiration haha I will definitely be posting pictures there when I get some good ones.

Nope, no name change. I am still all about Tommy Kaira I've got the TK recaros that nobody else does and the shift ****. Eventually I hope to have the BBK, but we'll see!

not sure if he bought the replica or not, but he had the vents filled. It comes with vents like in my signature. It shouldn't be much to have them filled in though. My shop charged $100 to fill in the vents on the front.

I went with an authentic Chargespeed rather than Jay's replica. And yes, just as MrKaira said, I had the body shop fill in the vents.
