back and sides look great imo. However the front looks weird to me. If you like then hey whatever, but you should pick up a veilside badge for the front.

Well it's definitely one of those kits that looks weird at certain angles but overall I'm really enjoying it. I swapped out the hoods tonight and put on the AMS hood. I'm really liking the AMS hood but I think the mesh inserts need to be blacked out.

Looks like we all agree that the front is sad, lets give options for new fronts. I think you should mold a "nismo" V3 front or a Shine Amuse front with the sick diffuser.

Mossy Nissan Auto Body.

Address and Daniel's phone number can be found here:

https://my350z.com/forum/southern-ca...d-weekend.html

He gave me a special price for the paint job, but he said if others came in wanting work done the overall price would not be much more than what I paid for mine.

I may re-do the front sometime in the future but my wife is 8 months pregnant and this was one of the last things I was able to do with the car. I was just up at Mastergrade yesterday and the guys thought it looked great and, like it's been mentioned before, the pictures don't do it justice.

I'm going to take some more pictures of the new AMS hood that I picked up yesterday with the blacked-out mesh; I'll post them up later.
