Wow, with a few subtle things, if done right, you will have the best widebody 350z I have ever seen.

I thought the bars were there as some sort of reinforcement and would be taken off later. I personally don't like them. Are they necessary? If so, then choose a color to hide them as much as possible lol.

Good job overall though. Nice!

PLease for the love of god tell him to replace those fugly *** ricer wheelz and and get wider rims with a proper fitting tire. That stretched look is so ghey. IMHO, the wheels are ruining the car and the cool body work you have done to it. WTH are they ne way? Enkei?

Kudo's for going a different route with the car and keeping us posted on the progress. The curvaceousness of the Z really makes pearl/flake paint pop in the light. Can't wait to see the final product!
I guess that would only be true if I were indeed a guy.. but since I'm not, no I'm still not jealous because it's brown.

haha yeah, never going to make everyone happy, on the skyline people said we needed to have spacers ect instead of the 2 inch tuck on the rear wheels so this time round we went for the stretch look.
also with the wheels ect remeber we are in lil old new zealand and the range aint huge haha even pretty hard to get works wheels new here, especially with the width and offset like this

There are plenty of vendors on here that should be willing to ship a set of Works or something to NZ. That all depends on how much the car owner is spending on wheels.
