My first post:

Voltex is working on a widebody kit for the 350Z, it takes cues from the GT-R front end styling:


Thoughts?

 

Hmmm, would have to see it other than a drawing

 

it hasn't gotten off the paper yet.

 

The major lines look good..the secondary splits are a no no....overall it has a nice shape and flow...I think there was a sketch andy posted a while back that was similar...I have a 3d model of a widebody conversion that is very similar actually.

 

Skirts seem like a bit much, but could be the vague drawing. The front end looks pretty sick.

 

Looks nice especially the top view

 

Remove the front bumper lower side vents and don't do GTR look center.

 

Why would anyone want their Z to look like a GTR. The GTR is ugly.

 

Yah, trying to look like a GTR would look wrong...

GTR's look awesome and they perform even better

 

Got more progress today, the front bumper mold was completed, and now test fitting.

 

IMO any long nose kills the Z... just my .2 cents!

 

subscribing....

 

X2, Voltex make some nice stuff....but expensive.

 

+3

 

Well thats because they do what you see in these pictures, real R&D that stands for "research and development" unlike a lot of the companies out there that think R&D stands for "review and duplicate." Wind tunnel testing is not cheap.

In any case from the pictures it seems that they started by using the bumper design off of their current kit, if this is indeed a new kit they are looking to design.

 

sad but true.

I've used a windtunnel and know of their costs. I didn't know Voltex used wind tunnel testing, maybe 5% of JDM companies actually windtunnel, especially full vehicles. Pretty sweet if they do though, I love their designs.

 

I like that kit!

 

 

Please do away with the GTR styling. trying to make one car look like another brings me back to 98 when putting supra tailights on civics and mixing up body parts was cool.
